Mr.. Hyde took his text from Genesis l2:2-
And I make of thee a great nation. l Will
bless thee and make thy name great and
thou shalt be a blessing"
In part he said:
I'm Abraham, God was working out the
plan of a great nation. The nation that
took it's rise in Him was to be a great
nation with a great blessing from God out
Of which was to come a great blessing to
the world and what God inausurated in
the life OF Abraham that will He complete.
"A glance backward through the fast re-
ceeding centuries reveals the upward trend
OF nations. Each succeeding age as pro-
fame and sacred history will corroborate,
Is an advancement over the preceding one
and history will repeat itself. likewise, In
the succeeding generations. We believe
with Tennyson that
Through the ages one increasing purpose
runs,
And the thoughts of man are widened with
the process of the sun
there is one far-off divine event toward
which the whole creation moves. Progress
Is in the nature of things. 1t is the spirit
If the heavens within the wheels of our
human activities. In all the centuries
which have gone before God has been con-
irving to make our nation what she is,
the land of the free, the home of the
brave Here God is working out the theory
Of nations. Ours is to be a great nation
with great blessings from God out of which
is to come a great blessing to the world.
This is the faith of optimism justified by
a national record unparalleled in the his
tory of nations.
He who has studied the record cannot
fail to see .the providence of God in the
building of the republic. From the Begin
ming of the men who helped to shape the
national destiny have been men of faith.
1t was their rare spiritual vision that made
our fathers first among the architects OF
state. 1t was spiritual passion that
changed a fraticidal war into a battle
of freedom. 1t vas spiritual power thai
made the Cuban war humanitarian rather
than a war Of conquest.
III the centuries have taught us any.
thing 1t is that God founded this republic
to first apprehend, then enjoy and Their
give to a sin cursed and priest ridden worlt
civil and religious liberty. So deeply i'm
bedded in this truth in the grain of oul
national history thdt the corroslon o.
time will not be able to face it."

greatest OF these is love" In part he said:
I'VE have in these words the philosophy
OF life. II does not matter what blessings
are bestowed on us IL we haven't the
heart to appreciate them. Faith and hope
and love are the elements that fill life
with thankfulness and gratitude, They are
the foundation of the nations condition.
The nations greatness depends on the in

OF our principles. We are fundamentally a
nation Of faith. We have great hope in

MORAL uPLIFT IN THE NATION
Subject of Thanks in sermon by REV.
John Spyker.

SUBJECT OF Thanks In sermon by rev
John spyker.
Reminding his hearers that this country
has been visited with no pestilence, war,
anarchistic upheaval, earthquake or
calamity within the last year, but on the
other hand had experienced a great moral
uphft. has enjoyed peace and prosperity
and been especially law-abiding, Rev.
John Spyker, pastor Of Trinity Methodist
church. in a sermon at union service held
Thanksgiving morning in the North Pres
byterian church gave reasons why the
American people should be thankful. The
minister took his text from 1 Chronicles
16:s1-Si:
Let the heavens be glad and let the
earth rejoice, and let men say among
nations, the Lord reigneth.
Let the sea rear, and the fulness thereof;
Then shall the tree OF the wood sing out
at the presence of the Lord, because lie
cometh to judge the earth.
On, give thanks unto the Lord, for lie IS
good, for His mercy endureth forever.
Beginning with the discovery of America,
Mr.. spyker traced the hand of God down
through the centuries, through the battles
with Indians and foreign nations, in the
colonization and upbullding Of the nation,
to the present time when, as the minister
said. God has given us the greatest nation
on earth.
"If man will cast about to find things to
question his sense of gratitude, he will be
given greater range of thought and breadth
of mind said Mr.. spyker. And IL he
will stop long enough midst the busy hurry
and activity Of life to take one conslderate
look at nature and the immensely of his
Creator, he will know more OF the inn
measurable goodness of God and His
thoushtfulness OF him.
The text is an expression OF a great
heart. Thanksgiving is a necessity. Any
thing is a necessity which has a good use
which nothing else can supply. The
original idea of Thanksgiving is two fold;
first. to render thanks to God for past
blessings received; second, to beseech
the throne OF grace for future preservation
and guidance. This being true, the Ameri-
can people today can give thanks on this
Thanksgiving day whole-heartedly and
truthfully, for nave we not received many
blessings? Look back and see and you
will find naught of hardship and want,
pestilence and war, disaster and destruc-
ton. But you VIII find peace, prosperity,
joyfulness and happiness"

MONTGOMERY COUNTY LEADS
 STATE IN CAPITAL CASES

Montgomery county furnishes to the State more convicts than any of the other sixty-six counties, according to officials who keep tab on such statis- tics. There are two, other counties. Jefferson and Mobile. whose feed bills and the number of whose prisoners exceed those of Montgomery. but the most of their prisoners are guilty of minor offenses, and become county convicts. But for capital cases, and for more fragrant feIonies, Montgom- cry county leads the State.
 Not 8 record of surpassiug merit, but stiIl the convicts prove a source of considerable revenue to the State, and Montgomery county furnishes more revenue through this channel than any other.
 The Information came out Friday, when thirty-one prisoners were sem fenced and the largest docket of cap- ital cases of years was practically concluded.
 Most of Montgomery county's pris- oners are negroes, and are leased, when physically capacitated. to labor in the mines about Birmingham. or on farms, throughout their terms of sen tence.

Seniors of Barnes School Show Elo-

 The liveliest school boy debate of the year thus far was that held by the Senior Club of the Barnes School yesterday morning. The subject was one of real interest, and though rather technical for school boys, it was dis cussed in a masterly manner. The arr guments advanced by each young man showed thought and inquiry, and the replies exhibited tact and readiness in rejoinder.
 To BeIser, perhaps. belongs the chief honor. but Marlborough. strassburger and May all were eloquent and logi- cal.
 The subject was: Resolved. that the public funds for school purposes should be devoted exclusively to the common schools" Affirmative. Tar brough, J. Jamison and Belser: Neg ative, Strassburger, May ana Finn. The afflrmatives won.
