NOT LOOKING FOR A HEAVEN OF REST

The subject of the Rev. DR.. Minot j. savage's
sermon yesterday morning at the Church of the
Messiah Park-ave. and Thirty-fourth-st, was.
Glad to Be Alive" He said in part:
There are those who have fixed their longing upon
something which is so far unattainabe, or which
has not yet been attained. that In their desire
for this they lose the sense and significance and the
va ue of those things which are theirs
Let suggest to you one or two things-caH up

marvel of Inexpressible glory was II that would

I am glad that | can work. How foolish people
are who look upon work evil. and think they are
going to be happy when they get beyond the neces,

more than they need for perfect comfort. because
they think some day to get beyond the need OF
work at all

FAMILIES MADE HAPPY.

Mrs. Florence Hart Jerome, Of the Mizpah C:rcie
branch, kindly offered to buy the THANKSGIVING
dinners for two families. and thus aid the work at
the office The s. sent by the children Of the First
Baptist Church of Goversville was given her TO
provide generous dinner and extra groceries for
the Langtry family on Madison-st-. New-York She
sends the following report to the office:
Again 1t is my pleasant duty to tell you what
genuine cheer the Sunshine dinners shed upon the
recipients. I found the Langtry family even worse
than oefore-the mother stiff and lame from rheu,
matism. the father wrapped up in bed in an old
shawl. in the last stages of consumption, and & no
fire was in the stove. The eldest son was nome,
too weak to keep his job; he has heart failure, so
only Lily and little girl at work out of the
eight in the family. Can you, them imagine what
the basket loaded with good food meant for item!
The gratitude that shone in their faces repaid me
for my part, and I know the Sunshine Society came
in for a goody share of blessings and thanks

toyfully welcome, as all she had was 40 cents ana
