LOCAL AFFAIRS.
REASONS FOR THANKSGIVING.
SUGGESTED IN SERMON BY REV r. e.
DANFORTH AT THE CONGREGATION.
AL CHURCH, SUNDAY MORNING..

The audience at the Congregational
Sunday morning, enjoyed an
and uplifting discourse by
the pastor, Rev r. E. Danforth. He
chose for his text: Psalm 1O7:1, so
give thanks unto the Lord, for he is
good: for his mercy endureth forever"
Mr. Danforth said in part:
We will consider the spirit of thank
fulness to God, the goodness of the
Lord, and His everlasting mercy.
One of the reasons why birds are
such universal favorites is that they
are SO happy and thankful. Although
they may not know Of the existence of
God, they seem to be SO conscious Of
an all-pervading goodness in the world
Of nature that they cannot contain the
Joy which fills their little hearts but
must bubble over in song. / have seen
song sparrow sit on the highest twig
of an apple tree pouring forth most
joyous melodies when thunder and
lightning filled the heavens and rain
was drenching everything. So with
men, a cheerful person is received
gladly wherever he may go; in business,
in the church, at home, he is greeted
with pleasure. Success, or good luck
as many call it, attends the happy man
who always feels within his heart the
sense of gratitude to God for His great
goodness. Two doleful people meeting
one another make each other more
gloomy than before; but cheerful
heart entering company brings some
sunshine to all.
Since all good in the world comes
directly or Indirectly from God, we
should always direct our gratitude
toward Him. While being thankful
to others for their kindnesses and their
love, let us also thank God for having
put so much goodness into the world
Nine-tenths Of our prayers should be
prayers of gratitude, because we have
so much in this world to be thankful
for. How many common things" we
take as matter of course and forget
to be thankful for: The free oxygen so
plentifully supplied in the air, without
which we could not live; the water so
pure and SO easily obtained; the light
of day so essential to life and health;
the countless privileges of an enlight-
ened Christian civilization. Morning
and evening our prayers Of thanksgtv-

ing ascend to our Father, and at each

ing ascend to our Father, and at each
meal, as we see the products of the
fields spread before us, we are remind
ed of the kind care with which God
has blessed His fields with sunshine
and showers through many long days.
Our Christian religion teaches us that
God is exceedingly good, and that He
is everywhere and in all things. The
leading scientists of to-day look very
favorably upon the hypothesis Of
Helmholtz which states that all mat
ter is made of infinitesimal ethereal
vortex rings which are in constant
motion, continually bounding and re-
bounding upon one another, and the
only difference between an atom Of
lead and an atom of hydrogen is a diff
ference in the size of the rings and the
rapidity of their vibration. Now If
all things in the world are made Of the
same strange, mysterious ether and
made by the One Great Creator, it is
not difficult to conceive that through
all this unity there should be the all
pervading Spirit of the righteous,
loving Father.
That ellis mercy endureth forever"
we say we believe, and yet we are con-
tinually worrying lest things may go
wrong. The mother grieves anxiouslY
beside her sick child, when having
done all which medical science and
motherly care can do she should fasten
her faith and her hope upon God, who
hears the prayers of those who loving
ly put their trust in Him. The father
of family is anxious about the sup.
port for the family. We are all in
clined to say when things go well with
us cit is too good to last," when If we
would acknowledge that the blessings
come from God and earnestly hope
that they will continue to come from
Him, circumstances would go on from
good to better. Anyone can be
'lucky person" if they will understand
the principles of success in this world,
and putting themselves in harmony
with the laws of human success, 60 to
work tactfully, prudently and persist
emily, and then add to this a cheerful,
thankful heart, continually turning
sunny soul to God and sunny face to
man. Such a person is sure Of success,
both temporal and spiritual; success

Wen to he Barred From Work To-day
Other Employers Indorse the Move.
The threatened lockout OF the Rockmen
and Excavators' Union by the Contractors
Protective Association was tarted ahead
of time yesterday and between 10000 and
1900 men working on more than 100 build
ings and other contracts found themselves
out of work
The intention of tho Contractors Proteo-
tics Association was to declare a general
lockout of the 10000 members of the union
if more strikes were ordered No new
strikes had been called but a large number
of the contractors came to the conclusion
that the sooner the fight started in earnest
the better.
About seventy five or eighty OF the MEM
bers OF the association have locked out
their men, and the others are expected to
follow suit to-day or tomorrow. The
emergency committee of the association
will meet in day or two to fix date for
starting work with nom union men.
The contra ctors who closed their yards
notified the excavators on Monday evening
not to return to work to-day. That was a
surprise to the men. The sudden action
OF the employer, was fastened by the

and Patrick Norton. Secretary Eugene p.
Clark of the association made the follow ing
statement last evening:
Before the lockout was declared we were
assured Of the sympathy of the building
contra ctors The lockout may delay work
for time but the other building contra Ct ors
realized tie necessity of taking strong
measures at once.
There is general feeling among the
builders that to recognize unions OF un-
skilled trades is simply to invite strikes
As soon as the emergency committee fixes
a date for reorcning the yards the locked
ont men can get back il they return I'M
conditionally and il their places have not
been filed. This also applies to the rock
drillers. engineers. firemen, hoilerma kers
and men in other trades who went on sym
pathetic strikes"
Secretary Clark said that an agreement
was made with the teamsters because
they had to he we'll recommended and to be

John u. Van WOrmer's Warning nj the
Dinner OF the Public Accountants.

John r. Van Wormer, secretary OF the LIN

OF the New York Athletic Club. was the
principal speaker at the annual dinner OF
the New York State Society Of Certfca ted
Accountants at Delmonicos last evening,
and he talked about the queer times on which
we have fallen in the matter of commercial
morality.
Mr. Van Worrner was introduced by the
president of the society, Farquhar j. Mac
Rae. as president Of club which on one
occa sion had turned in an annual report
out Of which no accountant living had been
able to make head or tail.
"It's rather OF damper" Mr.. Van Wor-
mer said, "to be presented to body OF

that way But there is one thing to be said
about the New York Athletic Club. We
know the difference between our liabilities
and what's on the credit side of or account

time in some respects. We see the heads Of
