Gratitude for Blessings and Promise Of Future Welfare

With hearts filled with hope for a
greater and grander San Francisco,
thousands Of the city's churchgoers
lifted their voices yesterday in CRATE
ful thanksgiving praises to the Giver
. Of all good gifts
Save for the union Of the various de-
nominations at such churches as were
spared by the earthquake and fire.
there was no note of the disaster In the
services dedicated to this most express
sive OF American holidays, and this
year especially significant to San Fran
ciscans. In keeping with the splendid
spirit Of helpfulness that has made the
people Of San Francisco marked by the
whole civilized world since the awful
april days, denominational barriers
were thrown down, and the people of
diverse sectarian faiths Joined their
anthems and their prayers in a remark
able series Of Thanksgiving services
lt was a general giving Of praise and
thanks. All creeds believing in the
great God Jehovah bowed the knee in
humble but glad appreciation Of his
mercy and bounty.
Nowhere was there faltering note
Of Encouragement. The sermons rang
true with the sublime courage of the
people Of San Francisco and their re-
ligious faith IN the city's future. The
songs OF praise thrilled grandly with
the purpose Of the people, on whose
races shone the light of a hone that

STRENGTH FROM ADVERSELY
Rev. DIR. Moore Talks ON Reasons for
Giving Thanks.

Rev. Thomas Werner Moore DID
professor Of systematic theology in the
Presbyterian Theological Seminary at
San Anselmo, preached the Thanks
giving day sermon in Calvary Presby
terian Church at the union service on
the subject, "One Great Ground for
Thanksgiving"
His text was from Romans, viii:2s.
I'VE know that to them who love God
all things work together for good. even
to them who are called according to
his purpose"
Tie introduced himself by saying
that although as a stranger 1t might
seem rash for him to presume to speak
to the people of San Francisco about
Thanksgiving, not having passed with
them through the horrible experiences
of the past year, yet that year had
been to him also the most disastrous
of his life-one in which he had been
called on to surrender what he would
not have hesitated for the fraction of a
second to prefer to ten times all that
San Francisco held in all her glory.
had the choice been presented to him.
Yet / can rejoice and thank God
and can call on you to do So" he
said. Il do not ask you to give thanks
because it might have been worse
That is a poor thing to say to one
who finds it hard to conceive how
things could be worse. A negation is
The San Francisco call., 1906-11-30

poor foundation for structure Of
praise. Nor do 1 ask you to rejoice
merely because you have so much left
more precious than all you have lost
dear child, a husband, an unbroken
family. But | ask you to rejoice on the
deeper and better and stronger ground
that, if you love God all things are
working good for you even now. This
is ground of thanksgiving which no
vicissitude can touch"
The speaker gave two reasons why
his hearers could rejoice in this great
fact: Because If a man has put himself
into line with Gods purpose for him,
namely, to make him like Christ God
is making all things in that mans life
work together to that end. And surely
the "summum bonum." the greatest con-
ceivable good-for any man Is that he
should become like to the Son of God.
1--WE can we'll rejoice" he added,
that our lives are thus ordered in all
things by God and that we are not
the playthings of chance or of blind
forces.
THE other reason for rejoicing in
this truth is that if the heart is pos
sessed by love to God, then the man
himself will be able to turn every
sort of experience into a source of
spiritual good. Love is the great aIem-
W
man will make adversity work to his
good. Adversely will be only a curse
to the hard, rebellious, restive heart
like rain in winter, which covers parts
of the earth with a hard coating of ice.
But where there is love to God ad-
versity like rain on summer soil,
softens and mellows the heart and
makes it fruitful.
Prosperity is far more dangerous
than adversely Adversity is the lion
which comes roaring against a man
and stirs all his manhood to resistance
and conquest. Prosperity is a Delilah
which lulls him to sleep in her lap and
often leaves him shorn of his strength
and manhood. Prosperity slays its ten
thousands where adversity slays its
thousands. Yet the heart that loves
God will make prosperity also means
Of spiritual good. Even temptation will
be turned into an occasion for strength
ening the soul In good where love to
God is. Instead of inclining the heart
to evil. temptation will cause
stronger revulsion against evil when
it appeals to one whose heart is full
of love. Had British emissaries ap-
preached Washington instead of
Benedict Arnold with traitorous pro-
posals, how his whole soul would have
revolted and have clung closer than
ever to his beloved country! The diff
ference was caused by love"

SPIRIT OF HOPEFULNESS
Rev. Mr.. Hayes Speaks at Trinity Oh
Promises of Future


There was large congregation in
Trinity Church at Bush and Cough
streets, Rev. F. W. Clampett rector
union service of Trinity, All Saints
st. Peters, St. Pauls, Church of the
Good Samaritan and Church of the
Holy Innocents was held there. The
music was by the choir of Trinity
Church and the sermon by Rev. w. Z.
Hayes of All Saints Church, who spoke
on "Hopefulness for the Future He
said in part:
"Thankfulness for the past implies
hope for the future. If a man has
nothing to look forward to, the bless
fngs he has enjoyed in the past bring
him but little satisfaction. 1t is the
present and the future that stimulate
the spirit of thanksgiving. No argu-
ment is necessary to prove the de-
STABILITY of hopefulness, but not every
man realizes that the privilege of
hoping is never taken from him, nor
does he realize the effect that the
habit of hopefulness exerts upon him
self and others
Rev DR.. Hayes then spoke of the
wrongs that have to be rfghted and
of the necessity of grit to cope with
conditions and of obtaining faith by
becoming more interested in what we
are than in what we have. Faith, he
said, must be obtained from the indi-
vfdual presence of the holy spirit, for
God had not absolutely abandoned US
in these days of trial. In conclusion
he said:
When your faith. so far as this
world is concerned. grows dim. there
is always left the faith in Immortality.
Whatever else we may lose in life, moth
ing can deprive us of that hopefulness.

purity. our hopefuIness can never be

NEED MORAL EARTHQUAKE
Rabbi Nieto Says Peoples Conscience
Wants Good Shaking Up

A large congregation was present at
the union Thanksg giving services in the
Bush-street Synagogue yesterday.
Rabbi Bernard Kaplan, NJ. A, oflciated
at the services. a feature of which
was an eloquent sermon delivered by
Rabbi J. Nieto An augmented choir
rendered music under the direction OF
Rev. M. Solomon, cantor OF the Congre-
cation Ohabai Shalome.
Rabbi Nietos address was devoted to
the proper motives which should ac-
tuate San Franciscans in rendering
thinks to the Creator for benefits re-
ceived during the year. He declared
for any material success they may have
achieved. but also for the spiritual up
lifting which it might be theirs to
experience.
I like this day of Thanksg giving"
said DR.. Nieto, because ii affords us
an opportunity to think of something
else besides the almighty dollar, which
some Of US are thinking of all the
time. This is a day when other and
more lofty thoughts should animate US,
and when we should consider more than
mere worldly possessions. which do not
always bring true happiness. Poor men
often have greater cause for thanks
giving than millionaires, because they
rejoice in the affections of family, of
friendship, and think more of honor
and reputation than the sordid chase
after wealth.
Money fails to buy character or rep
utation, although everything now
adays is measured by money or from
financial point of view. We are in
need of a mental and moral shaking up
on the lines of the physical upheaval
this community was subjected to on
April is. majority OF us have not
regained our mental or moral equilib-
rium-al moral standards seem to have
been set at naught since that fateful
day. and 1t is time that we set our
selves right on that score. We must
reconstruct our moral structure and re-
establish our religious idealism. Get
rid of that false habit of estimating
wealth as above everything else. 1t
is your own fault If you do not strive
to attain moral excellence and upright
ness.
You must accomplish deeds of char
ity and benevolence. In these Thanks
giving services if we could only thank
God for the knowledge of good deeds
done and Of righteous acts performed,
how much better off we would be- We
should consider money a little less and
morals a little more.
Let higher order of civic virtue
and probity mark the life of every Jew
in this city. Be free from even a suS-
picion Of wrongdoing. Steer a straight
course in order to maintain for our
city a reputation OF honesty and up
rightness instead of a reputation Of
power and riches"
The choir, under the direction of F.
Dellpianne, organist. rendered Praise
the Lord" by Rendegger, and Psalm
100 by Rice. Miss Helen Heath sang
I VIII Extol Thee by Costa, and
Frank Enslow sang 'Hallelujah" by
Erlanger. The choir consisted of Miss
Heath. Mrs. B. Apple, Mrs. c. Coblentz,
Misses B. Cahen, H. Green, B. Pursch
B. Allenberg, sopranos; Mrs. A. Silver
man. drs. L. Lazarus, Misses s. Loeb

TWO ALARMS FOR FIRE CAUSE
EXCITEMENT AMONG RESIDENTS
Flames Damage Peters Home on Pine
street to Exte7t of Fifteen
Hundred Dollars

Fire at the home of ]. c. Peters at
2514 Pine street early last evening
caused $500 damage to the building.
For time the flames threatened to
extend to the adjoining residences and
the Crocker Old Ladies' Home. The
blaze started in the rear of the house
in a room occupied by Dora Peters, who
was absent. There was some excite
ment in the neighborhood as result
of the fire. The department was handi-
capped seriously by the hose bursting.
Two alarms were turned in. one of
them being from distance. some pass

furthermore" there is a natural
fitness in such a separation. Races
so widely separated in traditions, GUS
toms and moral training as the Cau-
casian and Mongolian do not blend
harmoniously when brought into ia
miliar associations as equal. IT is
difficult for the Caucasian, with CEN
turies of high moral and religious in
struction behind him, not to feel that
his opportunities have placed him be-
yond the position possible to those
who are just entering a civilization
similar to our own. This natural
prejudice, If it be such, will doubtless
be overcome in the process of time

RUSSIA THANkF Ill;
FEWER BOMBS

ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. 2s.--The
Strana today quoted Premier Stolypin
as commenting optimistically in re-
cent conversation on the decrease of
disorder in the empire and as hailing
as a happy augury the fact that the
new Parliament will be of such char
acter that the problems before the
Russian Government may be regarded
as approaching a settlement. The Pre-
mier was further quoted as declaring
that the Government would not hesi-
tate to dissolve Parliament even the
day after its convocation IL it mani
tested an intention of adopting OBJ
structive tactics and neglecting con-
structive work.
Contrasting the present situation
with the condition of affairs at the end
of 1905, the Premier attributed the
wave of disorder and the armed revolt
of that year to the indecision and lack
of confidence in the administration then
in power.
The Constitutional Democrats, who
anticipate a retention OF their pre-
ponderance in Parliament. have al
ready outlined their tactics and have
determined to devote the first part of
the session exclusively to parliament
ary work and endeavor to carry
reform of the system of To-
cal administration, the enactment of
universal suffrage and other indis-
pensable legislation before locking
horns with the Government in the
great struggle for responsible Min
istry and a full parliamentary govern
ment. They wish to avoid provoking
a rupture with the Government until
the reforms on which they will appeal
to the country are enacted and are
opposed to flood of fruitless interpret
lations, to which much of the time and
energy of the first Parliament were
devoted.
