THANKSGIVING
SERVICE
Meeting At The B ptist Church
Largely Attended.
sermon BY Rev. J. w. sheean-A Fine
One.
From FrIday,s Banner.


The Union Thanksgiving Service
at the Baptist church yesterday was
largely attended and proved to be
the most intet esting one here in
commemoration of that event for
many years. The Baptist choir rem
aered very appropriate music, the
whole congregation taking part in
the grand old song America.
A fervent prayer was offered by
Rev. ]. B. Stanley, the temperance
evangelist Rev. j E. Butler gave
the scripture reading, being the l47th
Psalm and Rev H. N Spear read the
Thanksgiving proclamation OF both
the president and the governor.
The sermon by Rev. j. W. Sheean,
pastor of the NJ. E church was rare
tIeat to the large aud ence and one
which every citizen in Belding should
have heard His text was from the
10th verse of the Psalm read. He
hath not dealt so with any nation.
Mr.. Sheean is fine speaker and the
Methodist brethren are TO be con-
graduated in his choice by the bishop
TO this pastorate. Among other
things in his excellent address he
said No man who reads history cor
rectly can fail to see the divine pur
pose in our national life, viz, A Chris
tain Civilization. The accomplish
nents of this will be our lasting
greatness and glory.
America is Cod, destined heritage
for the development of great and
noble type of free, fearless, righteous
independent man ood.
The religious idea is central in our
civilization, there Is no lasting civil
iEation without it. Emerson said,
America is anot her uarue f0i oPPer-
tunityu Matthew Arnold said, "Am'
erica holds the key 10 the fnture
Mr. sheean enlarged on the {
thoughts in a very eloquent and logl
cal way and threw into 1t a ol' .
humor which was very pleasing.

His Temperance Talks Are All
Very Practical.

Sunday was surely a red letter day
for temperance and those who listen
ed to the glowing words of Rev. j. b
Stanley, relative TO the drink evil OF
this nation and the necessity for the
overthrow of the American saloon,
will have something to think of for a
long time TO come. He presented
arguments and facts that are incon-
trovertable and his remarks made a
deep impression on his hearers.
There was a strong vein of religious
thought running all through his I'D
dresses, making them essentially gos'
pei temperance.
More than 200 meu attended the
meeting In the afternoon, at the
Opera House and listened to his tax
exclusively to them, which was de-
livered in such practical and logical
way, as to be productive of good re-
suits.
The Opera House was jammed full
in the evening and Mr.. Stanley was
at his best. After prayer ny j w.
sseean, songs by the congregation,
and one by Mr.. Arnold, the audience
was treated to a lecture by Mr. Stan

and after two years she got divorce.
l met her last week for the first time
since that event. | was just leaving
Chicago by train when she entered the
car with her second husband. He didn't
know me, but her eyes lighted upon
me as soon as she entered. In the frac-
ton of second l had determined to
make the position embarrassing for
her and No. 2 by calling her Nell and
wishing her happiness, but l should
nave remembered that 1 never got
ahead of her. She came sweeping down
the aisle with a smile on her face and
CLINT in her eye, and as she reached
me she exclaimed:
Why, Jimmy, how do you do Who
would have thought of meeting YOU
here?'
And then turning to her husband.
she added:
Tommy, this is Jimmy, who used
to be our hired man.
Tommy looked at her in surprise
and gave me a cold nod, and I curled
up on the seat and wished I could die
of heart disease and be buried beside
