GREAT SIN OF INGRATITUDE
CARDINAL GIBBONS URGES HIS
HEARERS TO BE THANKFUL.
Give Praise for Adversely, He Says,
as Well as for Prosperity and
Temporal Favors.

l. T I'M o r E. November S-"Be
thankful to God for all blessings, for af-
fiictions, for poverty, for trials and tribu-
latiOns. Is we'll as for prosperity and
good health, and let us raise our voices
and repeat with the angels in Heaven:
'Benediction and honor and praise to God
forever and forever. amen"
From the pulpit OF the cathedral Car
dinal Gibbons spoke thus yesterday in his
annual Thanksgiving sermon.
There is no sin more odious OF hateful
to God than the sin of ingratitude." de-
clared the cardinal. God cried out
against the ingratitude of the Israelites.
and He is today crying out against the in
gratitude of modern men. The OK submits
to its master and allows the yoke to be
placed upon IL. But we, who are servants
of the Great Master, will not allow the
yoke of Christianity to be placed upon us
worldly desires.
A Laudable Custom.
THE observance of Thanksgiving day is
time-honored and laudable custom. Be-
cause of it's being a day of public worship
in this country. 1t cannot help bringing
down countless blessings upon us. Every
natural favor we have is a blessing from
God. and 1t is incumbent upon YOU
brethren, to render thanks to the AL
mighty for whatever is done for you.
We should be thankful for our exist
ence. Life is a merited blessing conferred
upon us. and you should not only be
thankful for that life God has bestowed
upon you, but also for the preservation of
that life.
Some. they say. have little to be thank
full for: they declare their health is bad.
they are in straitened circumstances
while others have good health, enjoy an
abundance of good things and occupy ex-
allied positions. But, my brethren. YOU
should be thankful to God not only for
prosperity, but for adversely and for the
bitter cup OF sorrow that He may raise to
your lips.
Gratitude for Adversely.
This may seem homogeneous and para
doxical. but 1t Is true. And when the day
of Judgment comes you will thank God a
thousand times more for the adversely.
poral favors.
when the day of Thanksgiving comes
this month. and even every day. be thank
full to God for what you are and for your
existence; pour forth thanks to Almighty
God.
"All our prayers and good works should
begin with a prayer OF Thanksgiving to
God. A prayer OF Thanksgiving Is the
most effective prayer. IL is only just,
meet. right and proper at all times to give
thanks to God. Do not. my brethren.

Addresses by Commissioner Macfar-

ward-Program Of Interest.

Tonight is the night. Convention Hall
is the place. And never In It's history was
the big hall more beautifully dressed than
ii is TO greet the opening tonight OF the
food show of the Retail Grocers' Protec-
tive Association. From floor to ceiling
the interior of the building IS artistically
draped in gold and white. which Is the
general color scheme selected by the deco
rator in charge. The booths are so nearly
uniform in design that they present a
harmonious whole, exceedingly attractive
to the eye. The exhibits are all in place
and nothing remains but the fall of
President Meader's gavel to set the show
going. And the gavel will fall promptly
at 100 o'clock tonight.
For several weeks members of the asso-
citation have been working hard to make
the show success, and If the compete
ness OF their preparations indicates any
thing they will have every reason to be
proud OF what they have done 1t Is a
Washington affair, pure and simple. and
one calculated to give a great deal of
pleasure and instruction to the WASH
ington public. The chairman Of the COM
mittee on arrangements Is the secretary
OF the association. Perry p. Patrick Mr.
Patrick has directed most of the work of
preparation and has worked hard from
Principal Speakers.
The principal speakers whom President
Meader will introduce tonight are Com
missioner Mcfarland, DR.. Harvey w.
Wiley, chief Of the bureau of chemistry
Of the Department of Agriculture, and DR..
w. c. Woodward the District health Of
fcer. The presence OF these officials indi-
Gates the character of the exhibition Dr.
Wiley accepted the invitation to speak
with the proviso that nothing but such
foodstuffs as meet with the requirements
of the pure food law were shown The
members of the Retail Grocers Associa-
ton had no difficulty in assuring the gov
eminent chemist that he need have no
fear on that score.
In speaking OF the show today President
Meader said:
The exhibits which we have brought to
Washington are all of the greatest in
terest to the public. There never was a
time when food was greater topic of dis
cussion than at the present. These dem
onstrations will add much to the fund of
human knowledge on the attributes of
food. Ii is the desire of each and every
member Of the GrOcers Association that
Its patrons should be fully informed as to
the quality of the food they eat, how 1t
is made. and under what circumstances.
1t makes for better understanding all
around.
