The Reverend Howard T. Cree preached
at the Central Christian Church yesterday
morning on The Significance OF Thanks
giving He said, IN part:
The rapidly shifting scenes of American
life prevent careful study and understand
ing OF any one of them. We learn vastly
more things than our fathers. but learn no
one thing SO Well. Our acquaintance with
many things has made our knowledge OF
them superficial. The majority seems not
to understand the real meaning of many
of our American Institutions Unquestion-
ably the significance of the Lords day is
unknown or forgotten by the mass Of

we are fast moving toward a continent

Thanksgiving Day: its real significance
Sc, ms unappreciated. The Jews had many
holy days and these days were 80 guarded
and protected that their meaning could not
be other than impressed upon the minds OF
served Try Jews in every land to-day under
circumstances which make unmistakable its
meaning.
DAYS of special observance are educa-
tionaI. and. therefore. influential. Jewish
life was determined by them. the charac-
ter OF the national mind was shaped there
fore. their proper Observance is of all the
more Importance. When the deep signifi-
canoe of our few national holy days ia for
gotten 1t will be an evil day for American
interests.
What did Thanksgiving signify to the
majority of the American people this past
week? To all it was Il day OF rest when
the great wheels Of commerce We're stopped.
To others II was 4 day of sport. an op-
portunity to gather by the thousands 10
witness contests on the open field. To some
1t was the realization OF many a delicious
dream of roast turkey and steaming oyS-
tiers. To not a few it was a day of de-
bauchery and dissipation: a day in which the
saloon did a greater business in the blight
ing of life and light to many a poor soul
than any other day in the last six months.
But IL this the meaning OF ThanksSiEin ing

history? We received the day as a heritage
from tie past with joy. but do We enter
into sympathy with those who established

IT'S no small thing for a nation to pause
in It's haste and business Tor twenty-four

a few nc mcnts on that memorable cay of
the Presidents funeral all business was

%regnant with meaning. 1t must mean more
to thus pause for an entire day. And what

story of Amos. You will find that he used
wonderful tact. He did not Immediately be-
gin to denounce everybody. He waited for
his opportunity, and when il came he made
the most of 4.
This story also proves to us that the
Bible is the book for the oppressed. Amos
was practically the first Of the prophets
whose messages are recorded in the Bible,
and nearly every message that followed was
simply an elaboration of his prophecy. The
prophecy of Amos teaches that the oprres-
sor of the poor shall be punished. Labor
agitators frequently quote from Gods word
to prove their statements even though they
are rot Christians. The history of labor
has proven that nearly every movement
that brought a blessing to the worlanSman
was n religious movement, and the teach
inGs OF Jesus Christ prove that the church
of the Galilean carpenter is the working
mans best friend, even though some OF It's
adherents have been untrue to Its teach
inSs. thus bringing it into disrepute among
WorkingTnen
W also learn that the prophecies of God
are sure. One of the evidences OF the au-
thenticity of the Bible is the truth OF
prophecy. When Frederick the Great asked
his chaplain. to give him in a single sem
fence an unanswerabie proof of the truth
of the Bible. the chaplain replied: The
Jews. your Majesty The predictions con-
corning his nation have not failed. And
not any of God promises ever fail. Do you
find a promise IL the Bible? Take your
stand upon it. Do you find a warning: Be
ware how YOU disregard it."
