Lecture Monday Night

It is not often that the people of
Laclede are privileged to have a
chautauqua speaker in the winter
season. However, they will
have this opportunity next Monday
night when Mrs. Nellie Burger will
lecture at the Methodist church
under the auspices of the local W.
G. T. U. Mrs. Burger is claimed
to be one of the best speakers in
the country, and her success as a
chautauqua lecturer justifies the
claim. That she is a woman of
most unusual intellectual ability is
proved by the fact that last year
the Mexican government appointed
her to make out a course in tenn
perance instruction for the Mexican
schools. It is rare treat to have
Mrs. Burger with us and the citi-
zens are urged to avail themselves
of the opportunity of hearing her.

Class Reception ]

The annual reception for class

humorous reading by Mrs. Irene
Welsh, a question contest with q
peanut penalty and a telegram
writing and drawing contest occu-
pied the time until a seasonable
hour, when delicious refreshments
were served in four courses. DIR.
and Mrs. Standby are royal enter.
tainers and membership in class
nine is considered an honored
privilege.

N. e. Church Notes

The music for the Christmas
cafltata is here. Let's get busy
and make the Christmas time the
happiest Of all the year.
We were not quite up to the
average last Sunday in Sabbath
school, either in attendance or
collection. Misses Burnside and
and Hininger Of Hale were visitors
in DR.. Standly's class. The teach
ers of classes 4 and 5 were absent
on account Of sickness.
Don't forget the lecture of Mrs.
Nellie Burger at the Methodist
church Monday night. Mrs. Bur-
ger is a national organizer Of the
Woman's Christian Temperance
Union and has spent year in
Mexico, the land that is attracting
the world S attention by it's political
misrule.
Mrs. McGrew and family, who
recently removed to Chillicothe,
have moved their church member
ship to that place. The pastor
recently received the certificates Of
membership of Brother David Perry
and family from Mattoon, Ill. Mr..
Perry last spring purchased one of
Linn county's choice farms, which
he has greatly improved. We well
come them to the fellowship of the
church in Laclede.
A self-appointed committee rep
resenting three of the churches in
the city met last Sunday afternoon
at the Methodist church and ar
ranged the following program for
Thanksgiving. Services will be
held at the Baptist church at ten
o'clock Thanksgiving morning, the
sermon to be preached by the Rev.
VIM. Sissons Of the Presbyterian
church. T. M. Elliott will read
the presidents proclamation. The
scripture lesson will be read by DIR.
2. T. Standby. The music will be
in charge of j. Ell. Wilson of the
Christian church, Miss Eunice
Thompson presiding at the organ.

Some Evening Rsyeriss.

are awaiting with loving hearts and
glad anticipations the Homecoming
of the children and grandchildren.
And now they gather at the famil-
lar firesides and around the bounti-
fully laden tables-happy, unbrok-
en- groups. All! what sweet mem
ories cluster around those bygone,
neve-to-be. forgotten days! But
the scene changes. The family
circles have been broken into by
death. Fathers and mothers and
lperchance some to whom they had
extended Thanksgiving greetings
in their earthly. homes have gone
to the Home above. Where there
were glad reunions there are now
Vacant rooms, each made a
sacred place
By echo of a missing voice, or
dream of vanished face"
Thanksgiving! Again the kalei-
doscope is turned, and what con-
trasts are revealed to us-glimpses
of the morrow! OF homes where
plenty and good cheer abound.
Of country homes, where notes of
preparation have been sounding
for weeks, and table and pantry
and cellar are full to everfowing
with Thanksgiving fxin's, where
the big logs are blazing merrily in
the old-fashioned fireplace, where
Thanksgiving is the day of the
year. Of city homes, where wealth
and luxury preside over daintily
appointed tables and costly viands.
Of homes where poverty, if not
grim want, dwells, whose tables
bear but the semblance of feast.
Of homes blighted by crime or the
curse of drink, where even the
words home" and "Thanksgiv-
ing" seem but a hollow mockery.
We look into homes full of mirth
and glee"-homes where serene old
age and happy childhood are found
hand in hand-homes where family
circles are complete. But we see
other homes where vacant chairs
tell the sad story of loss and be-
reavement. May He who in the
past has given His grace to the
sorrowing" grant unto all such
from the highest to the lowliest-
the. garment of praise for the
spirit of heaviness" on this Thanks
giving day!
The earliest recorded Thanksgiv-
ing day was observed in this coun-
try in 1921, when the first fruits of
weary toll were harvested by the
Plymouth colony. Bradford sent
out men to get wild fowl to help
out the feast and, full of gratitude
for their preservation and for the
scanty harvest they had wrung
from the unwilling stony soil, these
brave ancestors of ours lifted up
their hearts and voices in thankful
ness to God. Brave men they
were, and hopeful, full Of endur-
ance and indomitable force and
energy. Food was scanty, perils
threatened on every side, and yet
these faithful pioneers were ready
to praise God for his goodness and
Let us give thanks with all our
hearts, forgetting for one day the
,ross-purposes, the strife, untiring
and unrequited disap-
of life; let us draw a
ong, deep draught from the peren-
nal fount of real. sincere gratitude
md our whole being will overflow
With a new, strange life, a gladness

cut and sting and make all who
hear them unhappy; worse than
that we sometimes blame the Lord
for our troubles. Is it right? We
know that it is a wicked way of
looking at it, and we know it when
we stop to think about it. The
fact is, good share of the misery
we have in this world comes from
our own wrongdoing. We SOW
tares and forget that there will
ever be a harvest. After work.
ing all the year and then to have
the crops turn out badly Is dis

we done as well as we might! Did
we plow and SOW good seed, if not
how can we expect good crops? 1t
