their fire with fearful accuracy.
Andrew Van Kurem, keeper of the

fell dead. Just afterward H. H. Bait,

hit and MORALLY wounded.
Frank Bertucci received a shot in the

Ultimately it was decided that the
only way TO get Charles was TO burn
the building which protected him. The
fire department was called to protect
surrounding property. A can of oil was
poured over the rear steps of the build

was soon in flames Picked men were

conddLlOn which the world would call
distress, he has reason to thank God
for the unseen good which God is go-
Ing to bring out OF 1t. But when the
providence Of God comes ugar-coated
and very agreeable, we have extra rea-
son for the sugar Goa ting, which tastes
good, and also for the better blessing
which lies under the coating Pardon a
homely illustration: Whan we are sick
and the doctor gives us bitter medicine
we are thankful for the health that is
to come at cost Of even such bitterness;
but when the doctor can Ak up his rem
edy for the child in such candy shape
that the child is glad to take 1t for Its
own sake, he thanks the doctor for the
candy and is ignorant OF the larger
good that lies concealed under the
candy taste.
think that we are too apt to thank
God most, and sometimes only, for
bread and money and health and home.
which are. compared to spiritual mer-
cies, as the sugar coating to the remedy
1t covers. 1t surely Is a reasonable
proposition that we ought to be most
thankful for the best blessings. But
some OF our best blessings are neither
material nor OF this years origin. And
many of these blessings are not lin
tied to us as individuals or as nation.
have noticed that we are more apt to
be thankful for a blessing that Is denied
| to others than for the health that was
never lost-more thankful for the rain
that ends disastrous drouth than for
the rain that prevented the drouth.
When another person or people suffer
hurt we are especially thankful that we
escaped, as IL some way their hur.
made our blessing Of just little more
value.
Il suppose our nation never celebrat-
ed q more devout Thanksgiving day
than the one following the close OF the
civil war And Who can question the
propriety Of such earnest thanks for
80 great a blessing? But is ii not bet
ter blessing that war should not come
to our nation? There Is no likelihood
OF an excess OF ratitude for health and
wealth. and peace and prosperity. We

material mercieS and immunities men

4 viii neglect to thank Him for the inf
nitely greater blessings which are so
lcommon and 30 general that they are
taken as a matter OF course and thanks
neglected. Your part and mine in the
atonement OF Jesus Christ is more to
US than all the larvests in America.
The friendship OF God is more than the
protection Of the United States. The
honorable part which each OF us may
have in the establishing Of Gods king
dom in the hearts Of men Is a privilege
infinitely greater than to be presiden,
Of our nation. II John d. Rockefeller
would give you the especial privilege
of bringing all the orphans you pleased
and he would adopt and care for and
clothe and school them, what great
privilege you would count 1t. Yet is is
a greater privilege to lead child into

with that power.
The Christ ideal Of a right life, as
given in His word. and reflected thru
his church. is worth more to men than
all the machinery Of the world.

The Royal Box was adapted from

Dumas writing anything uninterest

actor had more scholarly ability or a
higher sense Of the artistic than Charles
Coghlan, and he has made Edmund
kean the central character of the story,
altho in the English version another
name Was given him. Mr.. Robson, who
appears as Clarence has advantages
over the great Coghlan himself. He has
youth, more fire, stronger physique,
and great personal magnetism.
The story depicts the love adventures
of a. famous English actor, Clarence
who was the idol of London about 1910
Its characters are those Of London a

the royal family. the actors of the old
