Pentecost during the past week have
found them very helpful. The after
noon Bible readings have been familiar
talks. sometimes taking the form of
class instruction. with question and
answer and repetition which has fixed
the lessons taught. The evening ad-
dresses have been plain, earnest pre-
sensations of vital truths, the gospel,
Gods good news OF love to man; the
precious blood OF Christ, regeneration
and the Christians hope. Gods love
as manifested in Christ has been the
theme running through all. with some
words Of warning, as much a part OF
Gods message as the promises. The
interest has increased as the days have
gone on, the closing services, Friday
afternoon and evening, showing the
largest attendance.

not have such a feeling? Probobly not.
Possibly you remember that in your
boyhood days (when, indeed, there was
little need of it, you did attempt to
fast. ate scantily the day before
Thanksgiving morn
1t was hard work, perhaps, to thus
mortify the flesh but did you not feel
amply repaid when you were able to
pass your plate for third helping of
turkey and its appurtenances?
You would like to undergo some such
period of training for the Thanksgiv-
ing dinner now in your days of man
hood, but you are ashamed because
you say it would seem foolish. Hereis
where CELSIUS and the text help you out.
On his authority, and he was a wise
man, you may fast for as long as you
will before Thanksgiving and consider
yourself to be following a rule Of
health. Ye small boy when next your
parents reprove you for your foolish
ness in half starving yourself before
Thanksgiving quote to them use
fasting and full eating" and tell them
Lord Bacon said 1t.
This is the inspiration Of the text in
relation to- Thanksgiving. 1t teaches
that it is not foolish to eat nor to eat
fully Neither is it foolish to fast be-
fore a feast. but it is better to
feast more often than one fasts.
These things being so, it would almost
be sin not 70 fast before the most
delightful and browning feast of the
year which Is Thanksgiving.
1t is a day. in fact the only day in
all the year that is clearly to be de-
voted to the satisfaction of the materi
al appetite. 1t is not that we do not
have enough to eat during the rest of
the year-the average American does
not often go hungry-but there is sat
isfaction in having day set apart for
the special purpose.
Americans, as a rule are too busy to
do their eating philosOphically. One
feels hungry, one eats-if one has time.
There is nothing like the deliberate,
scientific study of methods of eating
such as was in vogue during the later
Roman Empire. But on Thanksgiving
Day certainly a special effort should be
made to come to the table with an ap-
petite which would make a respectable
showing in comparison with the an
clients, allowing. of course, for the de-
plorable lack of training of the present
time
1t is not apt to be the fault of the
dinner if your appetite is not good.
The Thanksgiving menu leaves little to
be desired. The whole responsibility
rests upon the individual Therefore

Use fasting and full eating, but rath-
