STT~ T this season of the year bar
 barians are offering up oblations,
 lbattons and sacrifices to their A spirits and gods for abundant re- turns of fishing and hunting and vimploring for another year of
 prosperity. The Yakuts, in West srn Siberia. are celebrating their annual harvest festival and offering up Abattons of kumyss, in oaken goblets. to the good spirits. In Mexico the Huichols and festival and offering up libations of the hikuA brew. in votive bowls. to the great deer and fire gods.
 The Esquimaux are drinking blood por- ridge to the spirits of whales and polar bears: the Chukchis and Koryaks are sacrificing reindeer and dogs to the spirits of those animals, and the Laplanders are drinking hbations of whey to their spirit protectors. America at this moment is harvesting the greatest crops in Its his- tory. yet nowhere do we read of festivals of praise to Almighty God for Ills won- derful favor to this most favored coun- try. Yet surely in the hearts of His sub 3ects and in such pulpits as are not closed during the heated term there must be some sort of outpouring of thankfulness for the enormous crops that will surely prevent financial distress and maintain our supremacy among nations.
 AS usual, Kansas sent out its call for twenty thousand men to assist in harvest  ing its vast grain crop. a call which to every American means plentiful prosperity for another year. Should Kansas fail to make the call. look out for a panic.
