| SHORT SERMON FOR THE DAY.
Debt That Is Owing to the Pilgrims
and the Pioneers.

PROV. xxix:1S-"Where there is no Wis.,
| ion. the people perish"
Thanksgiving day reminds us, year
by year, to look backward, count our
blessings and, with gratitude to the
Giver of every good gift, to look for.
ward with faith and courage to a still
better future, for the years are sure
ly bringing with them better things.
We think to-day not only of present
prosperity, but of the men who laid
the foundation for the great struc-
ture Of our national life. The Pill
grim Fathers of New England and
the Pioneer Fathers of California, diff
ferent as they were in character, had
many common traits, such as love of
liberty, dauntless determination and
especially the faculty of looking for
ward with faith and hopefulness.
They were not satisfied with the con-
dition Of affairs and they longed for
larger life. AS result of that dis
satisfaction, coupled with a capacity
for work and the power to see great
possibilities in the future, we inherit
the glorious realities of our present.
day lives.
Every people that emerges from
barbarism has before it vision Of
better things. A vision of better
things came to the founders of our
nation and state. We are grateful to
God for the vision of our fathers that
has been so largely realized in the
magnificent achievements of our ma
ton and in the glorious growth of our
state.
Has this vision of better things
ceased? If better things are possible,
we must make them ours. This vision
also will be realized. The church
shares this optimism. Her eyes see
the great work that is hers and her
hands are ready and her heart glad;
and the vision of righteousness which
alone truly and permanently exalts a
nation is urging her to larger efforts,
for well she knows there are no bet
ter things" without religion, which is
itself vision of God and duty and
an enlistment in his service.
There never has been an inventor
who has not had vision of what his
invention would be. But vision alone
does not accomplish much unless it
prompts to vigorous action. The in
ventor gees the possibility and then
works for it. Through years if neces,
sary, through many failures he perse.
veres, keeping the vision before him,
knowing that his success is not mat
ter of chance. No one who tries to
live without working can be called
manly. The Pilgrims and the Pioneers
were not shirkers, but workers. They
were men not afraid of any task.
Deserts and mountains and perils of
land or sea, instead of daunting their
brave hearts, added to their eager
ness to press on.

Table Decoration.

Scarlet ribbons lend themselves ad-
mirably to almost any form Of table
decoration, particularly If chrysanthe-
NUNS and wheat are the chief decora-
tons. A cornucopia of wheat, filed
with grapes and lying on a mat OF
mountain ashberries or small red APP
pies, is exceedingly pretty, and long
stalks Of wheat tied with ribbon the
shade Of the mat should be placed
diagonally across the ends Of the
table. II the table is round the CEN

The Fat Year

There's a wizard at work on the hilltops,
there's vanishing ghost In the
vale.
And red is the floor of the forest, and
loud is the pipe of the quail;
There's a desolate waste in the wheat
field, a whispering. tone in the corn;
But here by the barn, lo the full year
has enptied its plenteous horn;
And the faces of children are gladstone,
ard mothers sit long at the feast,
For God in his justice and mercy has
given good gifts to his least
There's a presage abroad on the prairies
IA triumph of fatuous fear
The sadness and sorcery smiling from
out the dead face of the year
There's a moan-wind awake in the night
time, blight from invisible hand, :,
A doom written large on mans power all
over the bountiful land
But the gran'ries are filled unto burst
ing;, the cattle are sleek in their
stalls.
And only the mem'ry of famine the
heart of the farmer appals.
And so. ere the winter shall whiten the
wide-rolling plain with its shroud
ed true, thanks shall cry upward
To the Giver of rain and of sunshine,
the Oliver of life to the seed,
The Infinite Father who never forsakes
where there's ultimate need
And with faith and loving obeisance,
with praise and a worshipful mind,
The toiler vows deep unto suffering, he,
too, will be tender and kind.
Thus. thus, shall the years pass to dark
ness. in glory and stately array,
One bringing its measure of famine, an
other its Thanksgiving day,
And the soul that looks out on the pas
sage shall learn to be patient and
wait.
Well knowing the law is eternal, though
sometimes the harvest is late;
And the lean and the fat years shall
perish and man shall go back unto
dust,
But. the Giver forever and ever will keep
to his care and his trust.

Why Don't You Pick

SUCCESSFUL business men through
out the country always do their buying
and selling through brokers to avoid
being squeezed and save time, trouble
and money. The people Of this country
must take hold Of these up-to-da
ideas If they expect success. We have
the best country in the world If our
citizens would only wake up and de-
velop it. Sticking to old-fashioned
ideas, such as continuing to fight the
war which was declared over in 1865,
Is entirely erroneous for peace, pleas
ure and happiness. When we settle
more. We are ready for something new.
We are improving in our schools, In
our methods Of farming. Why not try
to improve in all branches? Especial
ly in truthfulness and honesty, which
Is worse abused than any thing else in
our land. 1t Is our duty to try to attain
the highest state Of perfection. There
was one thing in former days better
than 1t Is now. We then often heard
1t remarked, His word Is as good as
his Bond" We can well afford to go
FIVE miles to shake hands with man
Of this type now because they are
weakens confidence. Practicing and
teaching truthfulness, honesty and in
dustry will be felt throughout succeed
ing generations. The Bible requires
us to give full measure In truthfulness
