not be lost upon those who hear, nor
will it's influence be powerless upon
him who bestOws it. A cultivation of
the thanks giving habit will make to
grow the sense Of appreciation, and
as a result our spirits will be sweet
ened. u souls enlarged and the whole
horizon of life beautified. Then the
ordinary affairs of life will never more
be commonplace; our conditions and
surroundings will always appear in a
fresh light. This is significant. The
man whose family find in him a source
Of endless delight and JOY is one who
does not suffer the common relation
| ships and the daily intercourse to be-
| come colorless and arid. Such a man
keeps love alive by c%ultivating the
| sentiment of affection. His face, his
voice, his deed, makes the Cd courses
of life brim and sparkle with a full
| current of tenderness and feeling. So
it is again with the great artist who
| sees the common In an uncommon
light and clothes the most ordinary
| objects with beauty and charm. In
like manner the religious nature dis
| closes it's presence by the unfailing
| freshness of it's feeling for all rela-
lions and seasons and customs and
| days. 1t numbers its blessings daily,
| and daily does it express gratitude be-
cause it feels deeply and gladly the
weight of it's vast Indebtedness. The
years may differ greatly in the COM
| forts and blessings they bring. but
| Gods unbroken beneficence knows no
| divisions of time. His bounty is an
unbroken eternity. All years, how
ever hard in the experiences they
| bring. are years Of blesseduess; 1t
| should be ours to receive what God
| sends and to be constantly thankful.
We should thank him who has made
us and preserved us as a nation.
Who revealed this continent when
the proper time had come, and called
to its shores faithful and Cody men
who believed in Him and in men as
His children.
Who preserved the national seeds
planted in our colonies and united
| them for liberty and independence.
Who made our young nation wise In
! counsel and strong in defense.
Who paciied the strifes and eradi-
| Gated the ~jealOusles that separated
our states and Joined them anew in
| one indissoluble union.
Who has given us the wisdom to es-
tablish free schools and free churches,
| end has given US brave hearted and
| clear headed men to sacrifice and toll
for the public virtue and peace.
Who has given us an open Bible, a
risen Christ, a loving church and a
| redeeming God.
Who crowneth this year OF grace
with His bountiful goodness.
Oh, that men would praise the Lord
| for His goodness and His wonderful
works to the children OF men!

SOUVENIR CUPS LATEST.
Made of a New Metal and in Many
Fantastic Shapes

Made of a New Metal and in Many
Fantastic shapes.
One of the latest fads to show itself
in the jewelry trade is the souvenir
cup of metal. This article, says the
jewelers. Weekly, is already popular
in some sections of the United States.
The souvenir spoon fad had it's origin
in Washington, d. c., and so. too, the
souvenir cup in it's present form, seems
to have first appeared in that city a
few months ago. 1t has now extended
to other cities. In Washington the
cups became a fad because that is a
great tourist center. So far these cups
have all been made to order in Ger
many and imported by one or two
New York firms, who calm to have
control, for this country, of all manu-
features of the metal employed in this
form. But if the demand expands and
develops into a general fad there is
every reason to expect American
manufacturers to enter into cOmpeti-
ton with he German houses that now
have the monopoly. The metal used
Is the new Kayser linn metal, which
has come into demand lately for vari-
GUS uses, and the cups are sold either
in their natural condition or silver
plate inside and outside, or silver plate
outside and gold lined. The popular
shape Is that of a white tumbler three
and a half inches high by two and
three~eighths inches in diameter at
the top and one and fve-eighths
inches at the bottom. There are other
more fancy shapes, such as a small
German beer stein and a small thin
goblet eight or nine inches high. On
the sides are local designs which give
the cups their souvenir significance.
