Communion Wine

published at the request OF the Lexington
Woman's Christian Temperance Union)
The Rev. o. W. Scott OF Fitchburg,
Mass, says:
The obeervant pastor has opportuni'
ty to note the customs Of communi-
cants during the administration Of the
Lords Supper.
This have noted; that reformed
men," who are communicates, are
usually shy of the cup" if they think
1t contains fermented wine.
readily recall the case OF such a
one, taking the cup from my hand. He
was COMMUNICATE. but not In the de-
nomination which | represented. AS
usual we were ueing unfermented vine.
This l announced during the prellIni-
nary service. The. brother took the cup
without hesitation, and slipped its con-
tents with the rest.
Later he said to me, II do not dare
sip the contents or the cup at my own
church, because fermented wine is used.
dare not Taste 1t, lest the old appe
tite be again aroused, and l be over
come"
Other similar cases could be cited,
but this one sufficiently emphasizes the
necessity and duty of using, at the
communion service, only unfermented
juice of the grape, that all may be safe,
in no wise tempted.
And is it not clear, that careful and
unpreiudiced study Of the manners and
customs Of Bible times confirms the
fact that uufermented wine was that
made by our Savior at Cana, and the
wine, also, used in the establishment
of the Lords Supper

Movement to Erect Monument
at "Bloody Angler

a. oAOOoy <1hkhC
The following dispatch was sent out
from Richmond several days ago:
A movement has bsen set on foot in
Spottsylvania county for the erection
of handsome monument at "Blcody
Angle" to the memory, jointly, Of Gen.
eral Robert E. Lee, conmander-in-
chief Of the Confederate army, and
General U. s. Grant, commando
chief of the Union forces, during the
Civil War, and there is every likelihood
that the Confederates OF the South will
approve Of the plan.
The entire affair Is as yet in embryo,
although some funds have been raised
by private individuals. Interviews
with veterans OF both sides show that
there would be no opposition to the
movement.
Among those interviewed on this
subject is Judge George l.. Christian.
a Confederate, and one of the most
prominent attorneys In this city. II
see no especial reason why monument
should not be erected at Bloody Angle
Jointly to the memory of Generals Lee
and Grant. This, especially, as those
two opposed each other in this conflict
during the Civil War. There were
great men, Confederate and Unionists,
concedlDg this point"

William ]. Bryan

AS for Bryan, in his third defeat, II
must be said that he is one Of the most
forceful figures in American politics OF
this generation.
He has stamped the impression of
his personality on the policies not only
OF his own party, but OF the opposition
as few men have ever done before.
Principles he made popular have
been taken up by Roosevelt and by
Taft and, though he is not the chosen
instrument, If these principles are put
into effect he will deserve much OF the
credit.
Defeated, he has attained a triumph
such as is accomplished but seldom in
any nations history.
He has been the voice crying In the
wilderness, a prophet speaking from
the mountain top, and though the peo-
ple have rejected him, they will never
recede from the high principles to
which he has pointed the way.-Cleve-
land (Ohio) Press.

THANKSGIVING THOUGHTS


Once again, in the mad rush for
gain and position, the people OF
the United States are called on to
halt and for a day, discarding
business and pleasure, and devo.e
themselves to meditation and wor-
ship. The day is set apart by the
President of the United States as a
a time for returning thanks for the
many temporal blessings that have
been ours during the preceding
twelve months. ALI kinds of labor
have been rewarded, the earth has
yielded fruitful harvests, our
country Is at peace with all the
world, our flag is honored and re-
spected in all lands, pestilence and
famine are absent from our bor-
ders. These are blessings for which
the nation should be thankful.
AS individuals, we claim our
country as a goodly heritage, we
are possessed of friends, of measur-
able prosperity, of public health
and domestic happiness; We enjoy
the privilege and opportunity of
working OUT our individual desti
nies, and the laws of our land, in
large measure, permit the widest
freedom consistent with the rights
of others.
Thanksgiving Dsr has an in
teresting history. The first ma
tional Thanksgiving was proclaim
ed by George Washington, at the
request of Congress, who recon-
mend ito the people of the United
States a day of public thanksgiv-
ing and prayer. Several of the
Presidents allowed the custom of
issuing Thanksgiving proclama-
tions to lapse. President Lincoln
restored the custom, and Thanks
giving Day: November, 1885, was
more generally and more heartily
observed than any which had pre-.
coded it. Since that time the an
nual Thanksgiving hae been an in
stitution In our history.
Many nations have followed the
custom of celebrating festal days
after the gathering of the autumn
hsrvests. Long before the white
race came to America the Indians
held a festal day in the autumn,
and Toasted ON roasted deer and
bear, boiled maize and stewed
pumpkin. The Jewish Feast Of
the Tabernacles occurred annually
at the end of the harvest season,
the lngathering of fruits, of corn,
of wine and of oil. Greece and
Rome, likewise, celebrated harvest
festivals.
