people of Lincoln point with

a public library of general literature.

pointed by the president, while from the
time OF the great emancipator. Abraham
Lincoln, the custom of observing day
of thanksgiving in which the whole ma
ton should participate has continued an
nually without interruption.
But we should not be too proud of this
fact; for there is hardly nation In
the world that has not had its harvest
festival, and there Is no form of religion,
even Pagan, that is without Its thanks
giving days. To be sure they may have
degenerate into mere supersttions or
have become mere gluttonous or drunk
en- orgies; but there is something In our
humanity which makes us willing to be
thankful when we are well fed or when
we have enjoyed fruitful season or
when we see our bank account growing
pethorlc. What we need rather Is to
cultivate q spirit of thankfulness under
NIL circumstances: at the time OF sowing
for the privilege of sowing; during the
time of growth for the privilege of cul-
ture. and at the time OF harvest for tho
privilege of gathering the good gifts OF
God
The speaker then dwclt on the lessons
OF the day as they refer to the spiritual
world, showing how the church must
plant the good seed of the kingdom of
God and then cultivate it's field. which Is
the world, and then gather the sheavcs
unto life eternal.
The great ingatherings which have oc-
Cured in the American church under such
leaders as Whitfield. Edwards, Finncy

Of the greatest gratitude and the hearers

From Country Life in America.
Nothing could be more erroneous than
this mistaken idea that desolation pos
sesses the earth for the enduring of
northern winter. Eyes have they. but
they see not, these folk who talk of
wintry wastes. Forgive them their, er-
ror. Pity their ignorance.
Copse and field are not as barren of
animal life as popularity supposed. On
the contrary, a host of friends in fur
and feathers will be met by one who
invades their domain. And they are the
easier to study now for the exposure of
their erstwhile hidden retreats. Sir
Reyrard is to be met with almost any
morning. Br'er Rabbit and Puss are
easily traced to their FORMS and their
acquaintance made by design instead of
mere chance. Along open brooks one
sometimes meets that warnl-coated but
shy fellow, the mink. On the meadows
mice make little runways under the
snow, watched by the rough legged
hawk, the woriest of his tribe. OF the
birds there are many--social chicka-
dees, quiet, Industrious brown creepers,
noisy blue-iays, Corvus, the crow,
cheerful and confiding tree sparrows
from the north. snow buntings and gold
iinches banded together in community
of interests where the grass seeds are
most plentiful. hairy and downy wood
peckers, policing the orchard trees.

kinglets in which the spark of life but
burns the stronger as the cold strength
ems, grouse and quail our two nobest
game birds, the two crossbills the red
poll, the pine siskin, the herring gull
any or all of these and others, all in
somber plumage one is likely to meet
during a winter ramble, to give the lie
to those who cry 1.-THE birds have
flown" And even friends of June you
may chance upon in warm. sheltered
swamps. few hardy robins, waXwings,
blackbrds and bluebrds.
Nor are the beasts and the birds all
that the keen observer will find for his
delight. Seemingly gone is the insect
world, yet like the trees these winged
creatures of softer days do but sleep.
On bush and tree twig and on stout
weedstalks, under rough bits of bark,
fastened to post and rail of old fences,
and under the caves of buildings are
quaint and curiously woven cradles to
be collected now for what they will
bring forth when Spring kisses the land
and sets free all bonds. You who have
eyes to see, go you forth even in the
winter, for verify your reward will be
great.

Two splendid anthems We're rendered

the impressiveness of the services. The
sermon by Rev. Henry S. Potter was a
splendid effort. He said, among other
things:
We are certainly living in wonderful
age and sharing the prodigal gifts of a
goodly land. If any generation ever had
reason to praise God for His goodness, We
have more! There is no land like our fair
land. Columbia sits crowned queen of
the nations of the world, and the other
nations have put the sceptre in her hand
and the diadem upon her brow. Her
fields are the most fertile. her mineral
deposits the richest, her people the most
congenial and her government the most
generous and yet the most just.
Our wage earners are better paid, bet
ter fed, better clothed, better housed,
and more intelligent and competent than
those of any other country in the world.
The products of our factories easily sur
pass those Of the old world and are now
finding the leading place in every mart
In matters of education and religion the
world was never so much in the light as
1t Is today. Wealth is vying with wealth
in founding and endowing institutions OF
learning. Abraham Lincoln had to walk
forty miles to borrow book, but today
the best Of books are everywhere beg
Hing us to read them. If the youth of
our generation come to age in irgorance,
1t Is their own choice. The glorious Cos
pei of the blessed God is marching in
majestic triumph around the world
While the churches may not be as sue
ccssful In some lines of work as a gener-
alton ago, yet the Word of our God is
better understood and has stronger hold
on human life than it has ever had be-
fore.
We are closing a goodly year. Peace
and prosperity have been our fortunate
lot. The dark clouds which have been
lowering over the industrial life of our
beautiful valley are rising and again We
see. the light, The harvests have been
bounteous, and He who clothes the lilies

ravens their food, has not forgotten TO

bility to be called at any time to give
the fullest evidence as to their affairs.
This compulsory candor applies, accord
ing to the text of the bill, to every cor
poration, joint stock company or sim
liar organizations engaged in foreign or
interstate business. The only exemption
granted is to companies with less than
$500 600 capital and the range covers all
companies from railroads down to ord1-
nary commercial organizations.
The passage of this bill, with a new
statute strengthening the hands and eX-
tending the scope of the interstate com
merce commission, would make an ex-
cellent experimental beginning, though
other safeguards may also be required.
Publicity of corporate affairs in all
cases where businesses have a great
range of activity would go far to keep
them within legitimate bounds. 1t would
certainly nullify that ability to waller
stocks and swindle the public by the
sale of the bonds or worthless securities,
which has been one of the great current
sins of what are dubbed trusts. People
are not very apt to purchase wildcats
with their eyes wide open.
The searchlight which would be thus
available would have a similar influence
in clearing the convictions of the public
to that which operates in the case of in
dustrial controversies. All kinds of evil
grow lush on the muck heap of ignor-
ance. All things that are good flourish
in the clear open light thing sub
stantially bad cannot live long when its
relations can be sized up with some GER
tainty. The Littlefield bill, as far it
goes, is an excellent one. If it should be
recognized by the friends of trust re-
striction that more comprehensive
measure cannot be put on the statute
books. they should concentrate their en-
ergies this one. 1t will certainly blunt
the teeth and claws of corporate agrees
sion in its campaign to control the bust
ness of the nations, and it will not inter
fere in the least with what is beneficial
in the trusts. What has come to stay as
a business factor in our market mechan-
ism-and that business consolidation has
contributed something in this way no
sane mind will dispute-will survive in
