the mysteries of God" we are to be

WE SHOULD BE THANKFUL.
By Rev. Ernst .

By Rev. Ernst A. Tappert
Pay Me that thou owest.-Matt
| 1928.
We are about to celebrate two i'm
portant events in the history of ou,
country, and especially of our city
the discovery of the Hudson river
| which brought about the founding O.
| New York, and the invention of thu
| steamboat, which contributed largely
to the uphu.iding Of our metropolis ant
| the country.
Tie commission in charge of the eel
ebration has, among other recommen
dations, very appropriately issued s
call for religious celebration. VIII,
should We as Christians celebrate IL
our churches such events? Becaus,
| we recognize in them the loving kind.
| ness of God and the extraordinary
blessings which He has thereby be
slowed upon us, and because we know
| that He wants us to be sensible Of Hi
benefits and mindful of what st. Pau
says:
Offer unto God thsnksgivfngs ant
pay thy vows unto the Most High
Hence the demand of the Almighty
which sounds into our joyous celebra
lions. Pay Me that thou owest'
To the average Christian the thought
scarcely ever occurs that he should b,
thankful for the common blessings o.
life. Who ever thanks for the air h,
breathes, for the water he drinks, fol
the sunshine he enjoys? And what ap
plies to these common blessings Is tru,
of the special privileges we enjoy al
nation. Who is thankful for tn,
good and fertile soil of America, which
God blesses with more abundance thar
any other part Of the globe? Who ap
preciates the liberties and opportuni
ties which this country so literally
offers to all?
The half-starved immigrant general
ly does Coming from a barren land
from under the severest oppression
America seems to him the Canaan o.
milk and honey, the land Of glorious
liberty. Our own people often remain
unconscious of what we have, unthank
full for their great privilege We ar,
a people Of great self-respect; bur
where self-respect is not coupled with
self-knowledge it breeds conceit, ant
truly there are many so self-conceitet
that they look with qualification upoI
the wonderful accomplishments of om
country and say: 1--WE are the PEG
ple!" But they forget to give prais,
and honor to Him who of His lovinl
kindness has SO aoundantly blessed oul
country and now demands in return
PAY Me that thou owest!"
May, then, the retrospect Of a glo
rious past inspire us to work for
more glorious future. May the JUS
pride over our accomplishments mo-
blind us to our shortcomings and ma!

crash came it was discovered that Sc per
cent of the securities held were those
of Walsh properties. OF the $4,000, 900
deposits. S16,000,000 were represented
by the paper and securities of the Walsh
enterprises.
Grounds for the Appeal.
Walsh's appeal contended that the
trial court erred in it's rulings in regard
to the showing of criminal intent, citing
the case of the United States vs. Hib-
bard in the appellate court. In its an
swering brief, the government insisted
that the cases were in no wise alike,
and declared that the instructions given
by Judge Anderson in the Walsh case
were taken with scarcely the change Of
word from an instruction approved by
the United States supreme court in the
case of Agnew VS.. United States.
In connection with the attack made
upon the verdict of the jury because of
the attitude Of Juror Palmer, the gov
eminent brief showed that all of the
jurors, except one who is in Florida, and
Mr.. Palmer after the trial signed aft
davits showing that Mr. Palmer reached
his verdict freely and without any undue
influence. The government further con-
tended that when the jury was polled,
Palmer acknowledged that the verdict
was his, and at that time there was no
exception taken by counsel of Mr..
Walsh to the verdict, and no request
was made that the jury be sent out for
further elaboration. 1t was also pointed
out that Immediately after the jury was
discharged that Mr.. Palmer said to one
of the counsel for the government, [
know Mr.. Walsh is guilty, but / hate to
send an old gray haired man to the peni-

Appeal from Order DENYING Writ of
Habeas Corpus Heard Before
Court of Appeals

ALBANY, n. Y. Oct. 6.-The fight to
obtain liberty for Harry X. Thaw was
resumed before the court of appeals on
an appeal from an order of Justice Mills
Of White Plains, denying a writ of ha-
beas corpus. Thaw's counsel contended
that Thaw's commitment was made un-
der an act which is unconstitutional in
that it deprived Thaw of liberty without
due process of law. 1t was also contend
ed that Thaw was committed to a Grim
NAL institution after he had been ac-
quilted, and that he is not now under a
criminal charge. 1t was further argued
that Thaw was entitled to have Jury
pass upon his mental condition and that
he is sane now.
