Thanksgiving Day.

1t is said no other national
holiday is so generally observed
as is the day of thanksgiving.
Not only is the day obsered gem
orally by the American born but
by those of foreign birth who en-
Joy the blessingr of a republican
form of government. They are
able to appreciate very forcibly
by comparing the advantages
this country affords them over
the opportunities and blessings
enjoyed in their native countries.
Yet the blessings generally en-
joyed by the people of the United
States are so great that very
small of soul is he who does not
find abundance of reasons to feel
thankful to the great Giver OF
all good for the blessings he en-
joys in this country. Life and
health are appreciated by most
people regardless of their social
and financial status. Most peo-
pie that enjoy health have the
added blessing of employment,
business, bountiful crops, pros
perity and comfortable surround
ings, whether their accumula-
tions be great or small. The
day gives an opportunity for
family reunions and friendly
gatherings of neighbors Which
alone is an opportunity for which
all should be thankful.
Above all these the christian
has the JOY of the public oppor-
tunity to manifest his allegiance
to his Lord and Saviour for him
who gave His life for the redemp.
ton of mankind and for his person
al hope i'll redeeming grace. Il
there is a citizen of the United
States, who has nothing to bt
thankful for it is his own fault.

"TwO For A Starter"

The above caption headed an
article in the Beacon last week
in which two instances were cit
ed in answer to the REPUBLICAN,
challenge for single instance in
which it had made a false state
ment in the campaign.
The first
Take for instance the charge
that demo-pops had liquor sent
here to injure the chances of one
of the republican candidates.
The statement of the Beacon
is false in that it is misleading.
What the REPUBLICAN did say,
in refuting the Beacon's insinua-
ton that Taylor had shipped in
three and half gallons of whis-
key" is that:
1.-The demo-popleaders thought
they were playing sharp trick
in ordering jug of whiskey
shipped here in j. o; Taylor's
name.
We further said: "The whis-
key may have been ordered sent
by some one to Mr.. Taylor from
the vicinity of Berwyn as joke
but it is more probable that it was
sent with malicious intent. At
any rate we noticed that Mr.
Taylor's political enemies were
first to find the jug and have
since been making political CAPT
tai out of it,"
From the above it will be seer
that the REPUBLICAN did no
make a direct charge, but drew ;
logical inference. AS yet W,
have had no proof that our in
ference was not correct. The
statement of the Beacon that the
logic is false does not make i
so.
The other instance the Beacon
cites is wherein it says;
1.-The charge that M. f. Sch
neringer issued 1000 distres
warrants and appropriated tn
fees to his own use was false"
This statement of the Beaco
is garbled and does not quote tn
statement as it appeared in
circular. Nothing like it ever,
appeared in the REPUBLICAN
The statement it attempts t
quote appeared in circular ant
is very different and conveys yer
different thoughts than that con
veyed by the Beacon. The Gil
cular in question said: "Schnel

so cents each \
and profit to the sheriff in fee

PLYMOUTH CHURCH.

In Plymouth church yesterday three services were held. The morning ser vice differed from the usual only in the extra music provided. Rev. W. W. Me Lane, D. D., preached a sermon having for its principal theme the hopefulness typical of Easter season.
 The second part of the day was given up to the children of the Sunday school. All members of the school took part in special service, '"The Resur- rection." This consisted of responses vocal music by the whole school and solos rendered in effective style by Miss Spargo and Miss Irene Parker, two ot the scholars.
 This portion of the exercises required nearly an hour to present and the ser. vice was such that nearly every schol. ar had some part in it.
 The pretty auditorium of the churef was crowded by worshippers who gath. cred to hear the children's service The room was beautifully trimmed fol the occasion and around the altai banks of palms and Easter lilies were clustered in profusion.
 The evening service was almost en. tirely given up to apprapriatem music Many solos were rendered by the mem. ners of the church quartette. The can. tata Prom Death to Life,'' by Bartlett was sung. This is replete in fine solos each of which were finely sung by the choir members.

GRACE ME. CHURCH.

The Grace M. E. church was crowded with people at both the regular services yesterday. The auditorium was beau- tifully garianded with palms and flow CTS. The cantata rendered by the choir was well reserved. The pastor preached on able sermon from Ps. 72:15, And He shall live After the sermon the entire congregation came forward to welcome Rev. 4. J. Smith and his family to the church for a fourth years pastorate. The reception was an ideal one to both pastor and people. Freed rom the burden of debt, with constant " increasing membership and continu- ally growing congregations. the Grace M. E. church faces one of the brightest outlooks for successful future in the history of the fiourishing society. Tn the evening the Sunday school gave their annual Easter concert. The pro- Sranme was most educa tional one and greatly appreciated by the large concourse of people who attended the services.

AT ST PAIII'S-

St. Pauls church was filled three times yesterday and the services were full of spirit and interest. The flowers were arranged in mass back of the al- tar and were very beautiful.

gramme arranged by the committee, of which Mrs F. ". Randall was chair man, was beautifully carried out, all the children speaking in a very pleas ing manner. The choir leader, Mir. Thomas Ackrill, managed the singing in masterly way. The pastor. Rev. Hen ry E. Hiler, spoke briefly to the chil- dren and gave in a simple way the req sons why all Christian people rejoice over the message that Easter brings.
 In the evening the choir rendered the cantata Death and Life." by Shelley, in such manner as to please all who were present. The excellent work that has been done by the quartette during the year has been much enjoyed, but never more than on this Easter Occa- sion. The pastor delivered a short ad- dress, in which he declared that the hope of the salvation of the. race is in the Risen Christ. Among other things he said:
 Wherever the Easter message goes this day with its revelation of hope beyond the grave, the refreshing streams of salvation are flowing and re- joicing the hearts of the Lords disci- pies. If this world should ever lose it's Easter hope the priceless treasures of Christianity would be lost to the human soul, but as long as the joy of the Risen Christ shall thrill our bosoms, the Day. spring from on high shall not vanish in the darkness of night, and the foun- tains of our Immanuel shall not cease to flow for the worlds thirst.
 How then shall we give the Easter hope to the world? For the blessed Gospel of the Risen Christ is on it's way to worldwide conquest. As the disci- pies of the Lord we have still to obey that great commission: Go ye into all the world and preach the Gospel to ev- cry creature This we may do by our lives and by our testimonies, by our prayers and by our sacrifices, by our songs and by our tears. We may never witness penitent souls in pagan lands bow at an altar of mercy and find the joy of sins forgiven, but we may lend that talent unto the Lord that shall in spire their salvation, and no more blessed work is done on this earth to- day than that which takes the money that is given to our churches and transforms it into clean and pure and beautiful character that shall hence forth for a time shine in Gods earthly temples and then pass into the heavens to beautify the courts of the celestial temple. Let us therefore be jealous in sending abroad everywhere the glad news of the Risen Christ and carry the Easter hope to all parts of the world"
