month to month and from year to year,
take it as whole and, looking back
wards. we can easily see the handiwork
of God 1t is impossible that man
should not find God in his own life and
tracing his goodness. he will find many
things TO be thankful for.
Let the mind consider the solar sys-
TEN, the cycle of the stars. the magni-
tude of it, the vastness of il all and
the benefcence of il and there is that
for which we are thankful. We have
but to start with our own selves and
look at the world outside of us. That
is sufficient
"Then there is the human mind, that
traces back to the forgotten years and
! leaps in imagination beyond the unborn
centuries. Let us but open our eyes
and we shall see that for which to be
| thankful in the wonderful works of
God. Think of that little brain hidden
away in that dark recess of the skull.
How it digs up the truth, how il delves
into science, yea, even creates science
Mr.. Edwards touched upon the moral
endowment of man, his intellectual en-
dowment and the power of faith to
: overcome even sickness, saying, "Some-
times, as Tolstoi has found it, it is not
among the wealthy or in the body of
strength that we find peace and happi'
ness. but down in the novels of the poor
and in the pain-racked body of the af-
licted we sometimes find the deepest
thankfulness and the most praise giving
spirit.
"You can hardly expect me to touch
on matters of local thankfulness. You
can not expect me to speak of the crops
of Hawaii. ] have come too recently
into your midst, but ] do want to sug-
gest to you some of the many blessings
that have come to our country as n
whole and to the world during the past
year, Among those mentioned by him
were the wave of reform which was
cleaning up the politics of the cities
and states and even getting into ma
tional politics; the increasing numbers
of the Independent voters who woulo
not be bound to any party corruptly
managed. The success of Folk or
Roosevelt and of the Philadelphia
ticket, the independence of Secretary
Taft who denounced openly the Repuo-
lean machine. the independence of
BRYAN who refused to vote the straight
Democratic ticket and other indications
of improvement in national AFFAIRS.
He spoke of the great success of Roose'
welt in the international peace negotla'
lions, the almost unprecedented treaty
between Sweden and Norway by which,
without bloodshed, the union was dis
solved and a treaty of amity signed by
which they agree to never hght each
other but to settle all matters through
The Hague tribunal and, if honor or in
voilable national rights demands war
they will even submit to The Hague the
question of whether or not the dispute
involves the national honor.

century that out of the nineteen most
important discoveries of the history OF

twenty most valuable inventions, thir
