To you person ally the sign of the drawing near of the kingdom is the open hand. The hand that reaches toward you with love. Tiny hands of little people fresh from a life in the spiritual realms we do not see. Large hands that men who toll and suffer greatly extend to you. Clean hands of youths and maids who do not comprehend, but love. God gives us signs in street and home and store The sign of the giving hand, the receiving hand that also gives unseen gifts The sign of the kindly glance, the smiling face, the quiet sympathy, the supporting arm when all is dimmed with tears.

When thou makest feast, said Jesus, do not be anxious to get only fashionable folk, but invite those who have need of you-the un- fortunate, those you can help. If you do this you shall have joy from the Father. Heed well this advice. When you make your feast, bring to it those who have need of you. Perhaps your own relatives will more than fill your table. Bring to it those who have need, not of turkey dinners, but of your spiritual bread and wine. So crushed, so maimed so halt and blind are some whom God meant should in this life be beautiful and strong, that no feast can be to them so welcome as the feast of kindly. helpful love and gentle compassion. Defects of tenn per are as hard to bear as defects of bone, the bound and crooked thought is as much an afflicton as the bound and crooked limb. In your thankful ness be careful to manifest your grat

Out of floods of troplC heat the great earth rolls, and the cool November days make the heart glad as the work of the summer is revealed to us. By day the great autumn sun is shedding glory upon the world 1t loves; by night the glowing stars are flashing messages of might and splendor to man, while above, the great. encircling Milky Way sends to us impulses for good beyond our deepest guess, With the haryests of the nation overtiowing the great treasuries of the farms, and the growing millions of the new race looking forward to winter Of achievement as successful as the sea s0n of growth, we may feel the life of all the earth within our veins.
 The season is the millennial dawn, not only for the year. but for the cen tnries. Truth forever on the noun tains watching till the day begun" has seemed to mock us, but in the glad messages of peace, of education, of liberty, of awakening life in lands that sat in darkness We may read this autumn as never UtIOfS COHHE HidtIOu of the prophecies and fore warnings Of the seers who study star and soul As though some fortunate star far off, had begun to shine faintly upon us 20 centuries ago and now, having come near after billions of miles of journey ings, were giving us the impulse to become at one with God, so the soul of all mankind is quickened and the great Babylon is fallen, and the King dom of the Spirit is established, even amid the rising dust of it's desolation.
 Darkened is that mind that has not felt the influences of the New Day. Out of a land where a century O. two ago savage men were the only people, there comes today the voice of the mightiest sons of the mightiest people.
 Not poets dream is this new age of golden promise. It was brought forth with tears and crucifixions in the long ago, when the plains of Pales- tine were cold with winter winds. It was struggled for when men and wom-

en gave their blood as a testimony to the dominance of the spiritual. when the long hours of the dark ages were marked by the fagots that burned, when the later light was upheld by church reformers, and the singers who sang alone with God. Now Truth, the Spirit of Freedom, has gained for H. self captains and kings and mighty men of war and peace. It is en throned in council chambers and is dictating peace at The Hague and ia many a land, for the people, weary ot the cruelty of kingcraft and the ancient forms, are already dead.
 In such an environment the family life is being transmitted. He who does not love shall not build a home; she who is not established in love shall go forth" Is the decree of the purifying thought which unseeing men and women are panie-stricken as they face Our households seem to crumble, but the Master builds again and the charmed life of goodness shall make every desolate heart bright and like an altar stone when ioNe Aas made the work complete.
 Verify I say unto you that many prophets and kings have prayed to see these things, and have not seen them. You. who walk carelessly in the com mon day are permitted to even now behoH q mystery of God. The spirit is abroad in human hearts, and the turmoil that many deplore is the call or the Angel of the Morning. The Thanksgiving day of the myriad years has come.
 Did you look to see the better day dawn with trumpeters upon the hills and archangels in the valleys with host in purple and scarlet and gold coming with glittering spears amid the clouds of heaven? The kingdom cometh not with observation You shall see it's hosts in the streets Of the city as they go about their work in the consciousness that they are not as driven cattle but are dwellers with the Christ, heirs of God from the be ginning, saintly in their final nature, reyerent in their aspirations bound to the perfection which is absolute joy

DRIVEN INTO THE OPEN.
When ope Read Was Convtnced '
 Was Up Against Fate'

Opie Read is a good story teller. Everybody knows it, and this proves it:
 How many platformists, at the close of an evening, have had some fond parent tell them of little Mary, aged eight, or little Willie, aged nine-a real prodigy, who could re- cite, sing or play divinely? Few who travel from course to course have escaped these future hopes ot overzealous parents and friends. Opie Read has met his share.
 At the close of one of Reads even- ings a proud father and mother in- troduced themselves to the novelist and asked if he could not hear their little prodigy Mary recite Ill the morning.
 Of course MT. Read would be very glad 10 hear the future star, but was so sorry that he had to catch the carly morning train.
 The Fathcr-But the train doesn go till 11;30.
 Mr. Rcad-Yes, l know, but l am compelled to take the early morning freight.
 The Fafhcr-That is fast freight. and doesn't stop here.
 Mr Rcad-Well, it will stop for me. You see, I have to catch 1t to get to my next date. The superin- tendent is an old friend of mine. l wrote him and received a reply to- day that he had wired the agent that the train would stop, and to allow me 10 get aboard.
 The Father-I don't see how that can be. I'm the agent, and nobody has wired me.
 Mr. Read-To tell you the truth, I'm a liar. Bring the little girl around to the hotel at 9:30.-The Lyeeumtc.

RULES FOR HEALTH.

Three simple helps to health: {: Hold the body erect if standing, sit- ting or walking Fill the lungs full of air at constant intervals, which improves the circulation. Masticate all food thoroughly and slowly.
 When you are tired you are apt to shrink from the very exercise you need. A warm bath will do much to restore wearied muscles. A tired girl Is not a tired-out girl. It will not hurt you to get tired, but dc not trespass further on your vitality

Reasons for Gratitude.

In reviewing the history of tho country since the Thanksgiving day when Massasoit was willing there should be peace in his part or the world, a multitude of things are re- called for which thanks are due. The growth of this republic. it's wealth and power, have astonished all nations. Few countries so young ever achieved such worldwide fame. On this holi- day, therefore, the entire population should feel like giving thanks for the blessings they have received.

Thanksgiving Day the
 Oldest Of Our Holidays.
First Enjoined as Religious as Well as Civic Obligation, the Spirit of
 the Season Remains.

It is season of gladsome tradl- tions. Far away as are our lives from those of the little band of co!onists of Massachusetts Bay who reverently es- tablished a day of thanksgiving for mercies which to us seem no more than the commonplaces of a meagre existence, the spirit of the occasion survives.
 Through all the vicissitudes of our national development, Thanksgiving day has been preserved as peculiarly the New England memorial. For gen. erations it had a sectional observance and a limited significance. It was not until the white heat of the civil war fused our people of all sections into a nation homogeneous, that the New England Thanksgiving was made that Of the whole country.
 Since the first proclamation by the president, calling for the observance of day of thanks for the preserva- ton of the union of the states, the cus- tom has been maintained; the genera ton of to-day knows it in this char. acter alone.
 This is the oldest of our holidays. Tn the early times of sectarian intol- erapce, when church and state were joined in the rule of Massachusetts, there was no Christmas under the law. Observance of the natal day of the Prince of Peace was discouraged. if not absolutely prohibited, by harsh enactments. But the recognition of the day of thanksgiving was enjoined as a religious as well as civic obi. gation.
 All this is changed in the growth of our people our wealth, our nation, to the stature which we see to- day. Our whole people unite in the giy. ing of thanks; and if the religious ele- ment is given less prominence in the forms with which the day is observed. in the hearts of all there is a no less reverent gratitude for the benefac- tions with which the Power which rules the universe has crowned the life of people and of individuals in this happy age.
 We must be glad, every one of us. that we live today. The condition of humanity is not perfect; there are cruel exceptions to universal human felicity; but the advance has not only been great but steady and full of mar. vicious promise for the race. And as for the immediate present, we have only to compare existing conditions of physical comfort of intellectual i'm, provement, of moral and social uplift. ing, with those enjoyed by our prede cessors, to feel a wave of congratula- tion surge over our hearts.
 Personally, many of us may feel that fortune. or providence, has dealt harshly with us during the past year. There have been dsappointments, perhaps grieyous afiiictions, whose pain is not yet dulled. Let such sum. mon up the resources of the faith that sustained the men of the first Thanks giving days. who felt as well as be- lieved that whom the Lord loveth, them he chasteneth;" and let all look forward straight into the future wher the sun shines with glory and a gracious warmth unknown to the race of mankind at any period before this favored century.

ODD NEW ZEALAND BIRDS.
The Honey Eater Acts Like Preach.
 CT ard Locks the Part.

The honey eater is one of the com- monest and at the same time hand- somest of the New Zealand birds. The neck is ornamentcd with frill of curly feathers Of a graanish color with white ernters and he throat is adorned with q tuft of white feathers, which has gained for 1t the popular name of "parsoa bjrl,' an appellation appropriate not only be- cause of the decoration bnt because of the resemblance of its peculiar at- titudes when singing 10 the gcsticu- Iatons judglgod in by cyuherant lec- turers when wishing 10 drive home their points. The bird Is an cxcel- lent mimic and can be taught 10 re- peat short sentences with eXtraor- dinary cloarncss and also 10 whistle short songs quite as well as a parrot.
 The late Sir Walter Butler tells the amusing story that he was once addressing large meeting of na- tiyes on a matter of considerable political importance and had been urging his views with all the earn c,mcss that the subject demanded when immediately on the conclusion of the speech and before the old chief to whom his arguments were chiefly addressed had time to reply honey cater, whose ncttcd cage hung to a rafter overhead, responded in a clear, emphatic way: "Tito," (falscl.
 The circumstances naturally caused much mcrrimcnt among his audience and quite upset the gravity of the venerable old chief. "Fricnd," :" he said, laughing, your arguments are very good, but my mokai is a very Wise bird and he is not yet con. vineed.' '
