THANKSGIVING DAY.

"The law of nature is to give.
To give, to give with generous voice;
To give and giving to rejoice,
And 30 trust God and truly live"
The revolving year has brought
another return of the day for max
ing due and greatful acknowledge
ments for temporal blessings and
for earnestly blessing and prais-
ing God for his wonderful good
ness to us as individuals and as a
people.
A good estimate of the perma-
hence and solidity of a people
can be made from the pride and
love with which they regard the
cherished institutions of their an
cesters. The universally with
which Thanksgiving Day is OBJ.
served in the United States is an
attractive symptom.
Let US give thanks to-day that
with a common impulse, and SYM
pathies the same, and ears at
tuned to the faintest cry of dis
tress, that we are what we have
shown the world we area gen.
erous, liberal, open-hearted,
broad minded and God-serving
Christian people.
Let us rejoice that we are will
ling and able to help one another.
Let us give..thanks and be glad
for the blessings of the past, the
inspirations of theTpresent, and
the hopes of the future, and
'sreaching forth..unto..those things
which are before, press toward
the mark for the prize of the high
calling of God in Christ Jesus. "
Thanksgiving Day finds a re-
Spouse in the human breast, be-
cause it meets q demand of the
human heart. Men are made to
love, to be grateful to their Crea-
tor and make happy and sympa-
thize with their kind. Men need
and long for thelove of their kind

ZION CITY FARMERS WRATHFuL
Dowie Throws Sour and Skim Mill
Into the Creek.

Waukegan, ILL.,, June 24.-Dowie is
aggravating the farmers about Zion
City just now in a peculiar manner.
Until recently the sour and skim millt
from Zion City creamery was given
to farmers. Finding that it was be-
ing fed to hogs, which he detests, Dow
lie stopped giving it away, and now has
it thrown into a creek which runs
thru several farms.
The farmers are excited over such
waste and are wondering if they can
get even by prosecuting Dowie for de-
filing the stream.
