1--WE are all born with an aversion
to something, and this aversion is a
thing we can no more direct than we
can fly by merely beating Oh the at
mosphere with our hands," George Nc
Pherson informs me.
History ia rich In the account OF
such instances. There IL Vincent the
painter, who would faint II the Otior
of n rose was waited to his nostrlls,
and the great German sportsman,
Vaugheim, would become positively Ill
II he even saw bit OF roast pig.
These aversions. often 80 entirely UNI
accountable, are curious things to
study. l became somewhat interested
In the subject year or 50 ago, and
have since that time been quietly
adding to my store Of Information on
this somewhat unusual topic by per-
sonal inquiries among my friends and
acquaintance.
Not one Of them did find without
his pet aversion, for the existence of
which he could give no good reason.
Generally the aversion was toward
some kind Of food, but not always.
One hated the color Of blue, and moth
ing depressed him more than being in
the company Of people who were, for
the most part, CARRIED in clothes Of
this hue. Another couldn't listen to
the music Of harp without becoming
irritated. while a third deteste<i lilies
to such a degree that he couldn't re-
main In the room where there was
one.
None Of the men who had these
aversions understood why he had
them. One man told me he couldn't
touch drop Of milk or cream without
becoming sick. yet he thought nothing
looked quite SO appetizing "a a glass
Of good rich cream. Often he had tried
to partake of It, but without success.
Parental influence will, Of course. be
urged as the reason for these aver
sions. but in the case Of the man who
couldn't touch milk or cream his
mother and father were both very
fond of milk. and another friend of
mine who couldn't eat a stra wberry
had parents who simply loved them"

and yet the dangers to national life are
{ quite us great now as at any previous
time in our history.
1t is cminently fitting that once
year our people should set apart day
for praise and thanksgiving To the Givcr
of Good, and at the same time that they
express their thankfulncss for the
abundant mercies received, should man
fully acknowledge their shortcomings,

now stands. We are not threatened by
foes from without The foes from
whom we should pray 10 be delivered
are our own passions, appetitcs, and
folies. and against these there is al

Therefore, | now set apart Thursday.
the thirtieth day of this November, as
Il day of thanksgiving for the past and
of prayer for the future and on that
day l ask that throughout the land the
people gather in their homes and places
of worship, and in rendering thanks

blessings of the past year, consecrate
themselves to a life Of cleanliness, hon
