The psalm from which this lesson Is
taken is a part of the "Hallel," or Old
Testament Magnificat 1t was sung at

fulness.
The origin of Thanksgiving is a nat
ural expression of praise to God. The
Jewish nation had its feast which was
a close type of our national day of
Thanksgiving. The Pilgrim fathers
early set apart day for the purpose
OF public thanksgiving. The entire
nation during the struggle of the civil
war fell into the custom of a national
day of thanksgiving. 1t has thus be.
come a great national holiday and day
of home-gathering. 1t finds its source
in the natural instinct of the heart to
thank God for blessings temporal and
spiritual. Reasons for Thanksgiving
are numerous and obvious. A sense
of our dependence upon God. An ex.
preston of our love to him. The joys
Of life, health, family, and friends, are
sufficient causes for thankfulness.
Then If we add the prosperity of the
nation. the church. and our spiritual
gifts we have an overwhelming mass
of reasons for thankfulness. Surely

will send the feet on errands OF mercy.
Gratitude to God will always inspire
pity for others in need. Be thankful,
but be also helpful. Let thanksgiving
blossom out into thanksgiving.

Getting RID of onr Burdens.

Getting rid of our load is getting rid Of
our burdensome selves. Cast thy burden
upon the Lord, and He shall sustain thee. ,,
God shall never suffer the righteous to be
moved" No wonder the Psalmist prompt
ly responded: 81 will trust in Thee" And
why should we not trust Him, seeing He
selves and our burdens, He never does
anything by halves, but rather by doubles
and multiples. 1t never takes long to cast
anything off from ourselves onto another.
Away with thy burden this instantl Away
with thy weary, burdened, dsheartened,
disconsolate, groaning. sinking self And
go over to God be sure to leave both hence
forth with Him. A great strong father can
easily and will gladly lift His little child
and all his bundles. Our Heavenly Faith

Did YOU you ever see pig in an orchard
with his whole intellect bent on getting an
other apple into his stomach?
His round, shrewd, greedy little ewes
scrutinize the earth in all directions. His
ear twitches quickly TO catch the sound of
an apple as it falls, and his fat body, with
amazing speed, obeys the message Of the
ear and rushes to get the apple.
But in all his wanderings through the or
chard that pig never looks upward, never
thinks of the source of the apples that fall
near him. His mind is never raised above
the ground on which he walks. The ap-
pies on the low-hanging boughs almost
brush against his bristles, but his eyes do
not see them.
The pigs sight and mind and concen-
trated attention are all turned downward
He is incapable OF so much as an upward
glance.
And the pig. voted the lowest of the
animals by public opinions just decree. is
typical of the man whom whisky is gradu-
ally depriving of his manhood, changing
him into swine or swine's brother.-

COMMERCIAL REVIEW.
Gcneral Trade Conditinns

Review OF Trade" says:
Trade and industry are making
steady progress, reports from all sec
tons OF the country containing evil
dences OF wholesome development. An
unusually large fall distribution oc-
Cured and current transactions in
heavier goods are liberal considering
the mildness OF the season.
The only development OF note in the
iron and steel market has been the 10
per cent reduction in price OF tin
plates to take effect December I.
While some change was anticipated,
the trade was not prepared for so large
a cut. II the recent lowering OF price
lists in certain sections OF the market
should stimulate foreign trade, there
will be occasion for qualification, as
some exceptional export movement is
needed to offset the heavy imports OF
pig iron and biilets
Contracts run far into the future in
structural material for bridges and
buildings, while plates are sought by
car works and shipyards. High pre-
miums are still paid for prompt deliv-
cry, but most shipments are on old
contracts placed at regular list prices.
"Jobbing trade is comparatively
quiet, except in PENNSYLVANIA. and mild
weather has restricted retail sales.

did not produce any lower offering
prices for cotton goods, although it
made buyers all the more anxious to
delay placing contracts. Recorder bus

ostrlches Live sixty Years.

Ostriches live to the age OF about
sixty years; 1t has been found that
the climate of the Pacific states south
of Cape Conception is admirably
adapted to the African ostrich. The
balmy climate of California permits
the birds to remain in the open all
the year round. The feathers are
always in demand and range in value
from $40 to 500 a pound. No more
easy occupation can be entered into
and few more profitable in the raising
of live stock. than the raising of the
domesticated ostrich. On the nourlsh'
ing alfalfa that grows so readily
and so plentifully in California. the
ostriches thrive; they will eat al
kinds of grain and vegetables.

HOW TO STOP BETTING.
Practical Solution offered by the
Century Magazine.

Century Magazine.
How was dueling stopped? Only
by the evolution of a code of public
sentiment which made It a misde
meanor to insult ones fellows by word
or deed. and removed the one ground
upon which the men of honor had rea
son to defend the duel. How shall
iRdiscriminate betting be stopped? II
our parallel holds good, by the same
means. We have done away with hab
its of direct insult. let us do away also
with that indirect mode of insult
which arises from the habit of glori
fication of ones self at the expense
of the earth In general We have
learned to despise swagger when 1t
Is intended to give offcnse to an in

farther, and despise It altogether
Many of us already do this In theory;
let us have our condemnation felt in
practice. II we have once reached
the point of making 1t part OF our
social code that bluff and brag and

sermons the preaeher,s peepe.t rhourhts

almost no preacher to-day dwels ex-
ciusively upon sin, salvation and the re-
lation of Christ to the sinner" says the
Congrega gationalst, of Boston and Chicago.
Important as these themes are, other as.
poets of the mission of Christ in the world
and of the purpose of Christianity are
being brought to the front. We regard
this as extremely desirable. Preaching is
something, more than the reitcration of
traditional truths in conventional ecclesi.
astical language. A sermon is the cmbodi-
ment OF a mans deepest aud most real
thought, phrased in words which every
body can understand and addressed to the
real needs OF real people. Jesus Christ was
popular preacher He employed parallels
and talked about the lilies and the clouds,
the barrel of meal and the play of little
children, and weighed carefully all His
words with a view to making the truth
which filed and flooded His own soul
plain, winsome and powerful in the eyes Of
Others"

arms were driven into their sockets and
his back was twisted out Of shape. He
never recovered and was ever after that
an object of pity as he made his way along
the streets. The man who had been saved
gave half OF al! he had to the man who had
saved him. His wages were always divided
with the one who suffered for him. and we
understand this as being right and true,
but when Christ suffers for us we do
naugbt but reject Him, yet in the face OF
all this rejection God says, 81 will forgive

bridge and shout after them as they go.
There is but one more bridge, and as 4
