GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.

Chicago Aug Wheat was quiet
nearly all day. but the undertone was
one OF weakness, although at times mod
crate hrmness was manifested as a
result of covering by shorts The dull
ness was chiefly due to the reluctance
of many traders to open new accounts
pending the government report due on
Monday. The market opened fairly firm,
owing to strength Of coarse grains. par
ticularly corn, but soon eased off again
On renewed profit taking. Some con-
gestion developed in September on COW
ering by shorts and that option was rela-
lively stronger than the more distant
deliveries. September sold between $3.50
and $1005s. The close was easy, with
September at sl.00.
Hot. dry weather in the corn belt
prompted active covering by shorts In
the corn market. which resulted in a
strong tone throughout the entire day.
September ranged between b3f4c and 641sc-
The close was strong. with prices only
d trifle below the high marks, Septem-
Der being at 641sq64lIc.

sible for considerable strength in oats.

thanksgiving from all who believe
that the hand of Divinity touch.
es the affairs of men:
THANKSGIVING DAY.
Next week day has been appoint
| to long esta blished custom, which we
are invited to devote specially to
thanksgiving for the many blessings
which we have received from God dur
ing the year.
In temporal blessings we have
abundant cause to be grateful to God.
True, we have had our trials and suf-
ferings, some more, some less: though
see, and shall see more clearly here
after, to have been blessings in dis
guise. But we have had much happi-
! ness and comfort in spite of these
trials. Surely we ought not to pass
these by unnoticed.
In the common affairs of life our
industry and skill would avail moth
ing if God did not come to our as
sistance. If our work or business
prospers it is due to Him: it is his
free gift. All the conveniences OF
modern life, which we pride ourselves
so much on. are the fruits of his power
and skill which he lends us It is he
who shines on us, not only by the sun
and moon, but also in those lights
which we think we ourselves produce;
it is he who sends our telegrap phic
messages for us, who carries US where
we will in our steamers and railway
trains.
These perpetual and ordinary CON-
forts of life, in which we all share, as
we'll as our very life itself, are God S
gifts. And besides these, are there
not more blessings which we can see
if we look back on the year. Have
we thanked him for all these? If not,
let US then really make this a time to
atone for past neglect. A time of
thanksgiving in deed as we'll as in
name.
REV. l.. BRONES.
Why celebrate thanksgiving day?
The reasons calling us to engage in
the observance of thanksgiving day
are so many, varied, lofty, command
ing, as to make it difficult even to
enumerate them, without being able to
specify particulars or to do them JUS
tice. Shall we speak of the years
golden harvests and prolific corn
fields that yielded their millions of
bushels, affording not only bread
enough for ourselves, but for the
famishing of other lands? Shall we
be the more thankful for the vast sums
of money which have been given by
our people, either individually or COL
lectively, for endowing colleges and
building and sustaining churches?
Here we touch the real goal of our
thanksgiving festival. 1t should not
end in mere social reunions and self
righteous gratul ations as to our pros
perity, but should culminate rather
in q renewed and grateful Offering Of
our souls and our substance to the
service of God our maker and Christ
our Redeemer. How far shall evil
dence my thankfulness by benevolence
during the coming year? According
'ly o. this question 10 answered will

have great reason to be thankful: for
existence, and the health we enjoy:
for comfortable homes and the happy
association of kind friends: the priv
ilege of living in America and the
great northwest, where God gives
such great and visible prosperity;
for Gods choicest gift of his son; for
full salvation, the light of his gospel
and the hope of eternal life, that all
may enjoy who will. We should show
our thankfulness to God and our fell

Psalm 100. We should thank God
for his goodness, mercy and truth.
His goodness-Fruitful seaeons, rich
harvests; preservation of religious
liberty and the glorious gift of separ-

from devastating plaques and war.
Spiritual-Through the means of
grace (word and sacraments) he has
pardoned our sins, strengthened our
faith, cheered our hearts, comforted
our spirits.
His mercy-Though seeing man
"dead in trepasses and sim he had
mercy on him, and sent his only be-
gotten Son into the world, that who
soever believeth in Him shall not
perish but have everlasting life.'
His truth i. e. His worldwide mil

your gratitude and hear, read mark,

If there is one thing more than
another for which the people of the
United States ought to be profoundly
thankful, it is the growth in moral
sentiment made by this country in re-
cent years. l say this in spite of, or
rather because of, the awful revela-
tions of graft and dishonesty that
have recently been made to the pub
lie. Here things have always been
practiced by men in high circles, but
it is only in these recent years that
they have been revealed to the public
and halt called upon them. And the
very fact that graft, dishonesty and
corruption are being uncovered and
condemned; the very fact that the per-
petrators of these evils are being
prosecuted, demonstrates beyond the
shadow of . doubt that the people Of
this republic are out of sympathy with
this sort Of thing. The moral tone

| have been asked to give, very
briefly, reasons "why we should be
thankful" There are SO many things
for which we should render thanks
to the 'giver of all good gifts, that
to SO enumerate as to omit none would
take more space than is allotted me.
First, in the physical world, comes
the blessing of health. He who has
it would not part with it for all the
treasures of the universe. Then there
follows close upon it the abundant
harvest OF all grain and vegeta bles,
given without stint to maintain that
health. The combiation making the
artisan strong to labor: giving peace
and prosperity throughout the world.
Upon these the rest depends.
The greatest of all reasons why we
should be thankful is that $50 God
loved the world that he gave his only
begotten son, to the end that all that
believe in him should not perish, but
have everlasting life If we unfeign-
edly believe, our belief will be shown
forth in our lives, and the prophecy
of the psalmist will then come to pass:
"Tbat our sons may grow up as
young plants:
That our daughters may be as the
polished corners of the temple:
That our garners may be full and
pl lenteous with all manner of store:
That our sheep may bring forth
thousands and ten thousands in our
streets:
That our oxen may be strong to
labor:
That there be no decay, no leading
into captivity, and no complaining in
our streets. Happy are the people
that are in such case:
Yea, blessed are the people who
have the Lord for their Cod
