Christian Endeavor Lesson for Noven.
her 21. The Blessing Of a Thank
fu Heart, Neh. s;s-f2. Written by
Eli c. Trumbower, Jr.
Thanksgiving Day Is almost on us
once more with visions Of roast tur-
key and cranberry sauce. But with all
our good times and our good things 70
eat we must not forget the real mean
ing OF the day. We. a Christian ma
tion. have set this day aside to thank
God for all the blessings He has show
cred down upon us. We are too prone
to take the good things OF life for
granted and just worry about our
crosses. This is not right. and Is not
Chrlstian~lixe. God has given us SO
much that we. may well thank Him for

When we get into trouble the first
thing we do is 70 ask God 10 help ms

Mrs. W. S. Holt of Portland, Will Do

gushing i'm Jail-Mrs. Holt Says
Chinks Often Falsely Accuse Wo-
men.

Mrs. w. s. Holt of the Woman's
North Board of Missions, arrived in
the city last night from Portland,
having come to the aid Of the Chi
nese woman who is being held in the
county Jail on the charge of robbery.
She was called over the telephone by
Mrs. Gooy, who has known her for
some time, and to whom unfortunate
Chinese women generally turn in the
time of need. The missionary speaks
Chinese fluently and has heard the
story Of the Chinawoman, whom she
thinks has been made the victim of a
conspiracy.
It is a common thing, she says, for
the male Chinese to take an advan-
tage of the weaker sex, who are to
them only chattels. Similar instan-
ces have occurred in Portland and
the missionary thinks that this Is
only a plot to rob her Of her money
and at the same time get rid of her
while her husband is away. Charles
| Carter has been obtained as her at
torney and her trial will come up as
soon as arrangements can be made.

closely while he dwelt in detail upon
the simple life of Lincoln and his
greatness as a citizen and statesman.
In closing he said:
IF Illinois was thought to be Am
erica because it was the home OF
Abraham Lincoln, America may be
thought to be the world because it is
his birth place. and the theater on
which he displayed his marvellous
gifts, wrought out his great designs,
and achieved the results that made
him great, his country greater. and
his century the grandest of all its
predecessors. and secured imperish-
able fame for himself, his country
men and his country.
"If Gladstone was the greatest
Englishman of the 18th century,
Abraham Lincoln was the greatest
American of the century, and the year
1909 was the golden year of that CEN
tury.
He was American born, American
in instincts, American in generous
impulses, American in chivalry and
patriotism, and the greatest products
of American Christian civilization
and he was great, and is entitled to
the eminent distinction of being call
er "The Great American"

Now there is no possibility for those
rings not coming in to the central Of

operators. who are quicker to answer
when call Is rung IN. | understand
that other lines in the country districts
