a Boy Planted.


stray Stories: Some time ago there was
a wonderful story in the European Jour
nails about certain grains Of ancient Egyp-
tian corn which had been planted in Ger
many and had come to life.
Inc grains, they said. had been found in
an Egyptian sa~rcophagus and had been
planted by a Dresden florist. Some davs
later the corn appeared above ground,
fnuch TO the surprise Of scientists. who did
not suppose that there was any life in
grains which were from 1900 to 5000 wears
ola. The corn. however, was certainly
growing and even the most incredulous
among them soon became convinced that
grams have a lease of life to which there
Is practically no limit.
Aias! A boy employed by the Dresden
lorlst mas now confessed that he planted
some other grains in the same place where
his master had planted the Egyptian ones
and only a few hours after the florist com
pieted his work. This was sad news for
the scientists and for the numerous Jour-
nalists who had written enthusiastically
about the miraculous qualities of the an
Client grains.

those who did not also come forward
With alacrity to acknowledge the boun-
ties Of beneficent Providence.
AS to the motive for the THANKSGIVING
festivals, 1t depends somewhat upon the
point Of view. For example, when Cen
eral Washington announced the first
national Thanksgiving in recognition OF
a return of peace after victories over
the British and the adoption of a con-
stitution for the United States in 1859
it is quite likely that a certain king
across the water, or, to be exact, George
III, was not enthused with the idea.
A proclamation Of Thanksgiving was
issued by President Madison in 1915, at
the close of our second war with Great
Britain. but it was not until Honest
Abe was In the presidential chair, in
1861, that the festivity took on a really
national cast and was universally
adopted as a legal holiday throughout
he length and breadth Of the Union.
Cor quite a generation of time, now, the
American people have been celebrating
h recurrence Of the last Thursday in
November as a day of Thanksgiving anG
prayer, and it certainly looksa as, though
they have more cogent reasons eact
year for the continuance OF the festi-
val. Thanksgiving, in fact, is perhaps
our sole anniversary of national char
acter that does not appeal to some spe.
cial sentiment, as s~elfishness or patriot
ism, lament for the dead or panderins
to the living, and can be universally
observed without heartburnings or mar
row minded motive. To the bountiful

But, according to historical annals,
the very Indians Of New England were
tnbued with the Thanksgiving habit,
and their annual feast, or green corn

centuries previous to the coming OF the
pilgrims. Not that we would depreci-

however, for, while the Indians may
have had a periodical event of that
character, they never succeeded in get

carpenter before he had preached a sermon The work at the bench had attracted the eye Of God. These men in the black cities of smoke and flame;
 these benighted ones in the under ground world; tens of thousands of
 toilers in towns and cities; labOrers. mechanics, artizans all-everyOne of them building the city and working for
 God and with Him.
 For the great majority of men re- ligiOn must be reduced to the terms of one common speech; it must be touch
 ed with the spirit of modern times.
 It must interpret and illuminate life; it must be a proposition in the con- crete and not a metaphysical abstrac- tion. Men building a world have 10
 time to spend in cloisters. In the greatest book age of the world toilers have no time for books but they do understand the master mind when it says: Whatsoever you do do it heart fly as unto the Lord" Here is the key to life of service: Self reverence; self knowledge; self control. These three alone lead to sovereign power" Scoop down you beetling mountain And rage that jutting cape; A world is on your anvil; Now snlite it into shape. What is this iron music Whose sound is borne afar?
 The hammers of the world-sniths Are beating out star! Concerning an edifice we are not in q hurry; for years to come the pulpit
 of this church will be wherever there 1 is cry of need; where souls are
 bound; where men are blind; where they are oppressed. In hall and thea ters and vacant lots; in churches; ill
 labor unions and wherever there is a
 call or claim. When we do get an edi-
 flee it will not be shut up six days 8
 week but will be a common meeting
 ground-a distinct asset to the whole
 and not a badge of special sanctity or
 the sacred clubhouse of privileged 1 few.
 Perhaps some day the people will build themselves a great house of
 prayer and set up in 1t great organ. i Perhaps the day may come when such
 house will be as necessary as a city 1 hall?

These have been on the market but season or two. and they have made their way to almost immediate favor.
 They are effective, lasting and inexpensive. Their chief attraction is that they can be had in almost any color. to harmonize with the color of the house or the back ground against which they are pro- .jscted. Another good thing about them is that you can see through them and air can circulate through them freely, but they are a per feet protection against curious eyes from the outer world.
