THANKSGIVING DAY
Canada's Day Of Thanks a Month Ear
Iier Than In the United States.

For some reason better known to
the Canadians themselves than to the
people on this side of the line, our
Canadian cousins celebrated their
THANKSGIVING a month or more earlier
than we do. 1t may be that the Cana
dian turkey had become impatient, ana
sounded a note of warning, or 1t may
be that the frost on the pumpkin" de-
olared itself. But whatever the reason,
their Thanksgiving day is past, 1t may
have been that the reasons for giving
thanks so much earlier than we do
were pushing themselves so hard and
so fast that the Canadians were
ashamed to postpone the event. They
have had reasons, and good ones, too,
tor giving thanks Their great broad
areas of prairie land have yielded in
abundance, and here, by the way, 1t Is
not uninteresting to the friends OF
the millions of Americans who have
made their home in Canada during the
past few years to know that they have
participated most generously in the
cutting of the melon" Probably the
western portion of Canada, comprising
the provinces of Manitoba, Saskatche-
wan and Alberta, have the greatest.
reason of any of the provinces to ex-
press in the most enthusiastic manner
their gratitude. The results in the
line of production give ample reason
for devout thanksgiving to Providence.
hoe n nthprC
SO far as the total increase in the coun-
try's wealth is concerned. There is no
question that Providence was espe-
cially generous. The weather cond1-
lions were perfect, and during the
ripening and harvesting period, there
was nothing to interfere. And now 1t
was we'll it was so, for with demand
for labor that could not be supplied,
there was the greatest danger, but
with suitable weather the garnering OF
the grain has been successfully accom-
piished. There have been low gen.
eral averages, but these are account
ed for by the fact that farmers were
Indifferent, relying altogether upon
what a good soil would do. There
will be no more low averages though,
for this year has shown what good,
careful farming will do. 1t will pro-
duce 100 million bushels of wheat from
seven million acres, and 1t will pro-
duce a splendid lot of oats, yielding
anywhere from 80 to 100 bushels per
acre. This on land that has cost but
from $40 to SIS per acre-many farm
ers have realized sufficient from this
years crop to pay the entire cost of
their farms. The Toronto Globe says:
The whole population of the West
rejoices in the bounty of Providence,
and sends out message of gratitude
and appreciation of the favors which
have been bestowed on the country.
The cheerfulness which has abounded
with industry during the past six
months has not obliterated the concep-
ton of the source from which the
blessings have flown, and the good
feeling is combined with a spirit of
thankfulness for the privilege of living
in so fruitful a land. The misfortunes
of the past are practically forgotten,
because there Is great cause to con-
template with satisfaction the COM
forts of the present Thanksgiving
should be season of unusual en-
thusiasm."

Exonerated the Crowd.

Somebody's got my pocketbook!'
piped shrill, agonized voice in the
crowded street car, and a hump shoul-
dered, watery eyed man with a ginger
colored beard on his chin jumped up
and began convulsively clapping his
hands on his various pockets
.'Sit down, yon fool!" exclaimed the
portly, resolute matron by his side, as
sisting him by a vigorous pull on his
coattail .'Ive got it. j knew you'd
lose it if didn't take it. You'd lose
your head IL it wasn't fastened on
your shoulders"
Meekly he sat down.
Raising his head presently, he gave
comprehensive glance around the
car and said in the same shrill voice:
II beg everybody's pardon"
For which voluntary acknowledge
ment that he no longer considered
everybody in the car a pickpocket he
was rewarded by the CLASSY and unan-
imous stare.

GIBBONS ON SCIENCE AND RELIGION.

that these have had visible effect upon any department
of his church And yet the very fact that necessity was

THE church fosters and encourages every department
of science but just because she the friend of true SCIENCE
she opposed all false pretensions of science There is
much difference between true and false science there
is between authority and despotsm, liberty and license"
So declares Cardinal Gibbons in his interview. And
since when has the Catholic Church become the friend OF
Science! Since when has the Catholic Church fOstered
and encouraged Science! When Science in its in
fancy still in its swaddng Clothes did the Catholic Church
foster and encourage the babe! If howe By burning
with green wood and by torurng those who did FOSTER
encourage and teach it! The browning glory of Science
came in the century last past when it demonstrated the
ndestructibity of NATTER and for this the Church has
forgiven Science because it took its personal god out
of the universe and established the law of and effect
as against special creation Neither Cardinal Gibbons
his church, would foster and any department OF
science unless it could be shown that by so doing the
church would derive material aid and benefit therefrom
The Cardinal goes far as to admit this when he
said, further:
'When she (the church, hears man or woman adj

doctrines of revelation,with the existence of Cod for

Here may we the dogmatsm of the church persons
fed Place before a man like Cardinal Gibbons any fact,
no matter how certain may be its demonstrations and it
is in the slightest conflict with his ideas of revelation, he
will ignore the fact refuse to receive it, and still refuse
to critically examine his alleged revelation But what
revelation has any god made? And to whom revealed!

Bible contains the and substance of gods revelation

been teaching false science, and it is still teaching it until
this day. 1t has been and is the policy and purpose
of the church comfort science to make fit far
