The Thanksgiving sermon was preachesl
by Rev. I.u,her ID. Malone, aud was
leading feature Of the occasion. Among
other things treated by MIR, Malone,
were the following pertinent points.
Thanksgiving is season OF happy
cheer which should be made u holiday
a well a. holiday. The man who =
not found in the house OF the lord. at
least once on this day, or who does
not render to Him the gratitude that
belongs ~ the giver Of every go"d gift,
must have queer blea Of his nlation
Ia the universe aud to the TO dthat has
~howerei tn. blessings upon him for
the past twelve months. This Thank
giving day. will, however. bc marked
by many different forms of expressing
our thank. To great many people the
feature Of the day VIII b. the gathering
of thu family clans about the groanlng
board, while la othcrs they will I'LL the
lay rs the circumstances of which they
are apart will permit.
Over and above any ol these mate
rial expressions Thanksgiving j. prop
erly time Of praise aud good feeling,
a time OF clo-cr dependence upon God
and the elo-rr knitting Of the human
ties among friend. and families. Opii'
mism should have the right of way, not
that blind optimism which recognizes
the fact that evil does exist but does
nothing Ia eNterminate IL.
"Iiow unlike the optimitic palmiSt are
many of the people OF today. Benefits
far surprising tho-e Of tls Hebrew
poets are theirs but how poorly they
remember them. Not that the power Of
recollection is gone, but on memory
row OF hooks. they hang up nothing but
grlidges, slight, -ouows, di-appoint'
ments and the many di-agrreable thing.
Of life. Folks who love their God
with all their minds show bitter sense
in what they hang on memory hooks.
The speaker spoke of the numerous
thing. for which We should b. thankful
and especially emphasized the high eth.
ical standard of the people in the vari'
ou> parts Of the country along the r..
form line. He commended the action of
the Sheriff of Clat-op County in the
closing OF the dance hall, public gamb.
ling. etc. lie urged that the people not
be satisfied even with these hut to push
forward the good work in the future.
"1n reference. Ia the world movements
he said: In this great conflict lei Eng.
land stand for diplomacy, Ruria for
power. Germany for learning Italy for
art. France ion culture, and China for
numbers. But let u. remember that
bignes' is not sreayo''' that bulk is
not honor, that pAcr i, not virtue,
that wealth j. not world. Therefore,
let America stand Tor power, wealth
ant, learning. but whether she stand. for
these OF not, let rr stand first and fore.
most for character, for international and
uprrpolitical Justice, for the love of
mercy, and for the nearer dominion oi
