not less than So. In them were or
anges, bananas, apples, malaga grapes,
figs, nuts, cakes, boxes Of candies,
cakes of chocolates. cough drops, chew

other articles.
These bags were carefully carried to
the county house by committee on
Thanksgiving morning, and with the
aid of the keeper. his wife, and the do
mestics, assorted and distributed.
First, the bags were placed upon a
large table and the contents assorted
into baskets, pals and tubs. There
were bushels Of oranges and apples,
more than a bushel of bananas, pals
OF grapes, nuts and candies and other
things. Then 200 plates were spread
along the sides of the long corridor of
the hall. and one article from each was
placed upon each plate, till the plates
were heaping high and lusciously beau

tributiOn had found place.

He Completely sati.lies.

God is love! God is light! This ancient
message is also the most recent report of
our own personal experience. Oh, God Is
our home indeed! We can no more de-
scribe this consciousness to man who has
never possessed it than we can make a
foundling from a workhouse understand
the mysterious joys of an earthly Christian
home. Yes, we are at home with God. He
satisfies! He satisfies! It is He who gives
the completing touch to thought, to work,
to pleasure and to life. Without Him our
intellectual ladder has neither foundation
to stand upon below nor rest to lean
against above. Without Him our purposes
miss their best fruition and our joys their
perfume. He is our nome indeed, and we
know the unmistakable sign when we feel
the outstretched love Of our Father bend
ing over us.

by one, beginning at the head Of the
table, and passing around it, the whole
100 gave oral testimony to their graft
tude for the kindly consideration.
We sometimes say we cannot pray
and speak in prayer, meeting. If we
were incarcerated in the poor house
and some kindly friend remembered
us, we would speak. Our tongues
would not be tied. "God bless you,
sir, the longest day you live for your
thoughtfulness." "Say thank you for

seed such spread in my life before. /"

sions of gratitude we heard. Some of
them seemed like the yelling up Of the
great frozen depths-the melting again
into emotion Of hearts that had become
hard and flinty. The expression OF
their gratitude well-nigh broke ou1

Keep Moral Ideas Clear,

We need, above all things, to keep our
moral ideal clear and high. "Woe unto
him that puts light for darkness and dark
ness for light, sweet for bitter" etc. That
is, woe unto him that confounds moral dis
tinctions. Not our patriotism or our par
tisanship must blind us to truth. Neither
for ourselves nor our country nor our
party may we condone sin or falsehood or
meanness. If prophecies, chosen mes
senger of God, could 60 wrong, how easily
may we. Dean Hodges is just publishing

Saints A companion volume might be

ple" Bias is almost irresistible What

are apt to praise without looking too close
ly at its moral quality. So doing, we close
our insight, extinguish the light of God
kindled within us, and by and by we may
find ourselves walking in darkness rather
than light, perishing, perhaps, as Balaam
perished among the enemies of the Lord.

take something which would promote
the spirit of the day. The county
house. containing about 200 of the poor
and insane, was located two miles
from the town, and I conceived the
olan of having our society give them
genuine Thanksgiving treat. At the
first meeting Of the society / made the
suggestion. OF course, it interested
the young people, but-then there
came the difficulties. How could
twelve or fifteen young people. poor
ones at that, with burden already too
heavy to bear, contribute to the happi-
ness of 200? Expense, labor, time-all
the costly factors in such undertak-
ings, doomed up, and though bright
ewes sparkled and cheeks glowed at
the thought, the young people sadly
sheok their heads, fearing the under
taking beyond their ability. I had,
however, planned the matter in my
own mind, and having faith that we
would not be left to our own resources
In the matter, laid bare my plans,
and finally, by vote, committed the So
ciety to the undertaking.
The first thing we did, was to dele
gate person to go to the village mill
Ter to secure 200 eight-pound paper
bags instructing him to make known
to him, in detail our plans and pur-
\ pose. The miller became interested
Immediately, and when the Tay~for the
bags was rendered. .he refused to ac-
cept it, saying: s'No! no! I want a

to print fer us 200 slips Of paper like

SEASON OF GOOD CHEER

Thanksgiving Day an Occasion Fol
General Rejoicing.
Next Thursday, by proclamation pro-
vided, every civilized corner of this
country will throb with the thanks
giving spirit and resound with hymns
of praise for the bountiful blessings
of the year. The most sober celebra-
ton on the American Thanks
giving is yet an occasion for general
rejoicing and feasting. and it is al
ways heralded with joyous anticipa-
tons. And this years observance
promises to be most heartily enjoyed
by the great mass Of people through
out the land.
It is an occasion that opens the great.
broad heart Of the country to the dis
tress Of the unfortunate. when the MIL
lionaire is (sometimes) thankful he has
purse strings to unloosen, when the
financially comfortable. indulge in un-
usual luxuries, when one struggling
radesman is satisfied with medium
sized turkey, when the ragged child of
poverty gets only smell Of the sayory
dishes Of the day and philosoph phically
murmurs that he is thankful to be
alive, However, there are few unfor-
tunates unproXided for on this festive
anniversary. The inmates of hospitals,
jails, poorhouses and other public in
stitutions all fare generously, and even
the homeless outcast renews acQuain-
tance with edibles that have long
.been strangers to his stomach. Thanks
giving is day for pleasant family re.
Unions, when the widely scattered
members of once united household
gather at bountiful dinners of roast
turkey, plum pudding, mince and
pumpkin pies, etc.

Comes Ger us. at the murmur of thy name:
And once again we see them as thew came
Weary and heartsick, hushins their desires
For homes and kindred far across the sea,
That, without fear or hindrance. they
might raise
Daily to God their prayers and hymns of
praise,
And walk His paths in all humility.
We knew thee first in sixteen twenty-one:
The shores of bleak New England claim
thy birth;
And though thy cradle buried was in snow,
And chill November winds, with icy tone,
flushed thee to sleep, yet now with Joy
and mirth
We celebrate that day of long ago.
