a HYMN OF THANKSGIVING.
Ne thank Thee. Fa her, for the years.
Thy love has shared our hopes and
fears.
We bless Thee for Thy guiding hand
Which points MS toward the promised
land.
Thy cloud by day Thy fire by night
Have clearly shown the path that's
right:
our marching orders from Thy Word
Have made us sure. Thus saith the
Lord"
We bless Thee for a faith that knows
The reason for its hearts repose;
We praise Thee for a I've that bears
The burden Of our sins and cares
Abide with u.s. o Christ in God
Thou who has travelled on our road:
BE with Thy church for years to come,
And daily cheer our journey home.
Rev. Charles NJ. Sheldon, d. d.

good woman OF intelligence said
why don't these people save FOR

why doesn't a man save for rain,
day, when he is earning ten or twelv,
dollars a week and he has family
to support. Statistics show that out

! the income OF four millions Of thes,
families is less than $4OO a year.
Ten dollars is what my friend thinks
a reasonable amount to pay for a hat

$40 a wek should not provide for his
