ON NORTH SIDE
The Union Thanksgiving services of
the North side churches were held this
morning in the Kansas Avenue NJ e.
church. Rev. J. T. PurVis of the Cen
trail Avenue Christian church preached
the sermon. Rev. Mr. Purvis took for
his text Psalm 33-12 Blessed is the Ma
ton whose God is the Lord; and the
people whom He hath chosen for His
own inheritance" For centuries be-
fore the colonization of America God
had been preparing Europe for the
migration of the people who were to
Lord on a new continent. The prepara-
ton began when in the seventh century
learning was thrust into Europe at the
point of a Moorish lance. From 1896 to
1870 A. D., the crusaders stayed the
tide of Mohammedan invasion and saw
ed Europe to the cross. In 1892 the birds
of the air piloted Columbus and his
ships that carried Spanish civilization
and cruelty away from the shores of
Spain to Salvador.
In 1494 the Italian wars burned out
the rivalries of European nations and
bound east and west together In 1911
Martin Luther nailed the ninety-fiye
theses to the gate of Wurtemburg and
inaugurated the reformation. In 1871
Magellan circumnayigated the globe
III 1880 Copernicus announced his theory
of the solar system.
I'm 1908 Michael Angelo and Raphael
are revolutionizing art in the Vatican
at Rome. God is now ready. SO in 1920
the Pilgrim Fathers lay the foundation
of nation whose God in the Lord by
founding a nation the perpetuity OF
which depends on five great institutions
all of them divine First, the family;
second, free schools; third, the state;
fourth, the Industrial; fifth, the church.
LAS individuals we ought to be thank
full for nation that makes the family
a sacred institution; that gives all the
opportunity to be an intelligent and ed
ucated citizen; that guarantees liberty
and peace to all within the borders or
the state; that offers an opportunity to
all to earn competency for age; that
guarantees the privilege of worshlpplng
God as we desire with no fear of injury
or harm. Verify this nation is Gods
ma ton and this people is Gods inheri-
tance."
