The Jews in all lands hold week
OF thanksgiving ut the close Of the
summer season. This ~ the feast Of
the tebernacIes founded by Moses. In
the course Of their peregrinatiOns the
Israeltes on the way to the promised
land dwelt in booths, and the event IN
commemorated by taking the meals
Of the feast in tents or temporary shell
tiers. The roof must admit view Of
the sky, and IL usually made Of the
branches Of trees. The more pious Of
the race sleep under this green roof.
The members Of family, or some
times whole community, club togeth-
er and erect large tabernacles Of

the feast Of the ingathering. 1t IL

feast of the ingathering ut the end Of
the year, when thou hast gathered IN
the labors of the field"
The rules of the feast are more ex-
plicitiy laid down In the twenty-thlrd
chapter of Leviticus, commencing with
the thirty-third verse, as follows:
And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying:
Speak unto the children Of Israel, saying, The
fifteenth day Of this seventh month shall be the
feast Of tabernacles. for days unto the Lord
Also in the fifteenth day OF the seventh month
when ye have gathered in the fruit Of the land, ye
shall keep feast unto the Lord seven days; on the
first day shall be a Sabbath and the eighth
day shall be Sabbath.
And ye shall take you on the first day the
boughs Of goodly trees, branches Of palm trees
and the bongbs Of thick trees end willows Of the
brook.
And ye shall dwell in booths seven days; oil
that are lsraelites born shall dwell 10 booths.
The idea Of the tabernacles and the
ingathering Of the harvest are more
closely combined In the sixteenth chap
ter Of Deuteronomy, the thirteenth
verse, which saws

Harvest Invocation of the Tribes OF
the Six Nations.
The custom of giving thanks to the
Deity for abundant harvests and ma.
trrial blessings long antedates the New
England Thanksgiving festival. Long
before the coming to this continent of
our pilgrim ancestors, by whom our
Thanksgiving day was first observed,
the Indians met i'll the forests, which
were Gods first temples, when the har.
vest moon was fun and the corn was
ripCning ana gave thanks to the Great
Spirit. The ceremonies were performed
with especial solcmnity and fervor by
the tribes of the Six Nations and is
still observed by the remnants of that
once powerful confederation. Here IL
a very nearly literal translation OF the
invocation used doubtless for centuries
on these OCCASIONS:
We who are here present thank the Great Spirit
that We age here to praise him.
We thank him for the light which we call ou
eldest brother, the sun that works for our good
We thank him for his goodness in making the
forests and thank all it's trees. $50

METHODIST GATHERING
IN OLD WESLEY CHAPEL
THE ecunENIcAL CONFERENCE
OPENS IT'S SESSIONS
IN LONDON.
Lara. Delegations Present From the
Various Methodist Organizations
in America Including a humber
Of Prominent Bishops.

LONDON. Sept THE Ecumenical
Methodist Conference opened IN Wes-
ley,s Chapel today with q good at
tendance. In the devotional exeT-
cises King Edward and President Nc
Kinley were prayed for. Bishop
Joseph C. WartzeIl. missionary bishop
of the Methodist Episcopal Church in
Africa made the opening prayer and
Bishop Galloway. of Jackson. Miss
preached an eloquent sermon. setting
forth the aims of Methodists through
out the world and emphasizing the
value Of the tenets Of John Wesley
Communion followed.
The Archbishop OF Canterbury, the
Most Rev. Frank Temple. DID, and
the Bishop Of London, the RI Rev.
A. F. ". Ingram. DID,. sent friendly
messages. the Archbishop of CanteT-
bury praying that Gods blessing may
rest on the deliberat. ons. The Bishop
OF London sent a similar message,
but adding the hope that some day the
Nethodists will be reunited with the
| Episcopalians.
The Ecumenical Methodist Confer
ence is meeting in the City Road
Chapel. built by John Wesley in 100.
n is sometimes called the Cathedral
of Methodism and is filed with memo
riais of all denominations tracing
their origin TO Wesley. Marble col
umns representing Methodist branches
| in the North and South of the United
States and Canada are among those
holding up the gallery. They were
presented after the first conference
that assembled there exactly twenty
years ago.
The representation. which is on a
bT.is of about one delegate to 10000
members, gives the United States and
Canada 800 out of the 500 delegates
composing the council. The chairmen
will be changed daily. so that nearly
all the divisions represented viii have
a craftsmanship. For convenience In
arranging business the conference is
divided into Eastern and Western
lsections.
The Methodist Episcopal Church OF
the United States sent 129 representa-
tives. among them Bishops Hurst, Vim
cent. Hamilton and HartseA. The
: Method ST Episcopal Church South Is
: represented by seventy delegates. The
Methodist Church of Canada has
twenty representatives. The eolored
Methodist churches of America are
represented by fifty-eight delegates
including twenty colored bishops.
. Though the conference does not
: have legislative and administrative
: powers their policy will probably
be affected both directly and indirect
w by the discussions on the religious
. and social problems that will come
+ before it.
= Among the subjects that will be
considered are The Present Position
If Methodism.'' "The Influence o.
Methodism in the Promotion of Inter
national Peace" Biblical Criticism
and the Christian Faith Principle:
of Professionalism Versus Sacredotal
ISM" "Methodism and Education,
g "Christianity and Modern Unbelief,
