Can You Be Thankful

For your disappointments?
For your defeats?
For your losses? -
For your pain?
For your testings?
For your hindrances?
For your enemies?
For your care?
For your burdens?
Yes. There is an alchemy which
can transmute all these leaden
things into golden blessings. Our
light affection, which is but for a mo-
ment, worketh for us far more ex-
ceeding and eternal weight of glory;
while we look at the things
which are not seen.

Another interesting Thanksgiving
service was held in Old Scituate on
December %, 1886. The authority
for this mention is the church record,
as follows;
"In We Westinghouse, beginning

then more large in prayer, after that

is worthy of emulation. On the 18th
OF the following October services
were conducted in the same manner.
In the year 1912 Governor William
Shirley proclaimed two services. In
1746, when the French feet had
threatened the colony, "a fast day OF
Thanksgiving" was held in Eye old

was voted that the last Thursday in
November be set apart for day Of
Thanksgiving. Thus we have a ma

con the eve Of the new year the ter
rible deed was accomplished. The death
Of Steunenberg was a shock not only to
his home community, to the state over
which he had ruled, but to the entire
nation. 1t was for this act-the killing
of Frank Steunenberg by Harry Orch
ard, with the assistance of Jack Simp-
kins and at the instigation of William
d. Haywood, Charles II. Meyer and
George A. Pettibone, that this trial has
been had" declared the prosecutor, who
then continued:
And after we consider all the evil
dence, how can we arrive at any other
conclusion than that Orchard was ac-
tuated by a desire to serve his employ
ers and to earn more money by his mis-
deeds?"
As connecting Haywood, Meyer and
Pettibone directly with Orchard at the
time Of the killing of Steunenberg, Mr..
Hawley read the letter which reached
Orchard in the Jail at Caldwell and
which Orchard testified was in the
handwriting of George A. Pettibone
The letter read:
That was sent to Jack for you and
should reach you soon.
At this same time Haywood admitted
sending a draft for sI00ato Jack Simp-
kins, saying the latter had left the
money with him when he started out
on a prospecting trip.
Nearing the close of his address, Mr..

rush of the federation attorneys to de-
fend Harry Orchard. He told of the
