Or reader you may be common Ia
borer' and usually considered more Of .
servant than ruler among men. II you
are such an one you belong to large
class Of Fellows the fruit OF whose lsbors
is not always estimated at its full market
value. II you are conscientious In the
exchange OF your brain and muscle for a
livelihood you are doing a commendable
service. The sentiment of the text does
not excuse you from a judicious regard
OF your employers interests bat it may
be 30 applied as to enjoin you not chafe
beneath your burdens nor fret because
your lot was not cast in another realm
of action. In concluding this phase OF
the subject let US observe for the bene-
| fit of all whatever their station or service,
that to work and not worry, trust and
not murmur, obey and not falter is large
ly the duty of man, and it will help US
when we are tired and overtaxed to keep
the injunction of the text il we recall
the tender appeal and promise OF Christ:
"Come unto me all ye that are weary and
heavy laden aud l will give you rest.
Take my yoke upon you and learn Of me
for am meek and lowly in heart and ye
shall find rest unto your souls"
"Be careful for nothing: but In every
thing by prayer and supplication with
Thanksgiving let your requests DC made
You readily see the idea is here ad-
vanced OF the propriety Of making kno
our wants unto God That idea is at
once consistent with the christians con-
ception of the AL Father. He believes that
Every good gift and every perfect gift is
| FROM above, and cometh down from the
Father of Lights" He recognizes that
Provisional Providence touches every
human need. Beholding the goodness
and beneyolence of God the heart OF
man Involuntarily responds and thanks
giving becomes q conspicuous part of
worship. We are approaching the spec
flied Day OF thanksgiving. Ii we are to
euter it in true spirit of observance we
must know to our own satisfaction that
we nave something to be thankful tor.
As members of d Nation we ought to
appreciate the general prosperity, unity,
and eminence our Nation sustains. The
civil peace that reigus beneath its shelf
ering wings. The atmosphere is clear,
the fire and smoke OF political combat
have cleared away. The heavy and light
CUES, big and little orators have ceased
to speak within the halls and streets OF
our cities and villages There are ru-
mors of a "land slide," heavy "snow
fall" etc., etc., aud what do these strange
calculations mean? This, il nothing
more, that while some political sspirants
are left behind in confusion, disappolnt-
ment and defeat that the people 10
large majority have said: ave have con.
fidence IN the Executive OF our national
affairs and are willing to trust the reins
of the chariot to his skill for Preslden-
tial Term"
True there are impending dangers and
threatening evils. Wrongs that should
be righted and rights that should be
recoe nlzed and projected. We are not
blind to these contingencies; aud mo
mentous demands. upon wise and able
craftsmanship. But We reflect that our
ship-of-state is huge one. her trapping
and rigging numerous and intricate We
are not surprised that there are some
knots and kinks in the cords OF her
tackle, yet it has pleased God to bring
her long way 10 her path across dark
and perilous seas we are thankful Tor
her present well being and trust that In
her successive manning He will see to it
that "living" and strong men are stat
ioned at the ropes and skillful pilot at
the wheel that she may continue her
voyage to the "Fair Havens" OF ideal
government without damage to herself
and cargo.
As citizens OF Nevada we are heirs Of
great common wealth. Notwithstand-
ing there are some wildernesses here the
guant wolf OF poverty Is seldom, ii ever
any where to be seen. Who can meas
ure the resources of Nevada. The cat
tie on thousand hills are hers and the
sheep Of equal grazing ground. Her
mineral deposits are OF great variety and
rich almost beyond comparison.
II it may yet please the Almighty to
give her rain or lead forward the en-.
deavors of men to water her thirsty arid
plains through the avenue OF canals or
adjust q screw in the mental gear OF IN
vention so that an inexpensive process
be discovered by which to give her drink
from the subtereanean reservoirs then
will her agricultural resources unfold
and she become "as the garden OF the
Lord, like the land OF Egypt, as thou
comest unto Zoar.r
"Be careful for nothing; but In every
thing by prayer and supplication with
thanksgiving let your requests be made
known unto God.
We wish we might now apply ourselves
to closer study of the text. But we
are reluctant to claim your attention
longer. We conclude by beseeching you
o man, o woman, that as you enter the
day Of national recognition for thanks
giving, that as you count your needs
nrooant and poestble future you will
