Thanksgiving A Home Feast

Thanksgiving is as old as the
ages, and is one of the noblest
qualities enshrined in the human
breast. Noah builded an alter
and thanked God for the preser-
walton of himself and his family
from the flood. And all through
the history of our race we read
of thanksgiving for victory IN bat
tie. for salvation from pestllence
or famine or danger, for harvests
and for peace. 1t seems as though
the universal heart recognizes IN
herently great Giver of all good
and naturally look up to HIM
and give thanks.
But now it is over our Amerl-
can Thanksgiving we are most IN
terested now-the thing which
seems to sail down to us through
the years, since the Pilgrims first
gave thanks when, after their
first harvest in 1921, Governor
bradford sent four men out fowl
ing that they might after a more
special manner rejoice together.
What a contrast between then and
now, and how little it would seem
they had to be thankful for com
pared with what we have, but
they thanked God for it and for
the hope of the future.
This great feast of Thanksglv-
ing, SO peculiarly American in its
genius, was not made to order.
1t was a gradual growth. Not
every year did the New England
colonists observe it until 1850,
and in the country at large it wa
only occasionally kept, and that
for special causes, until President
Lincoln established it as an an
nual feast.
Thanksgiving is peculiarly a
home feast, a gathering Of the
families together again. Let Am
erica preserve her Thanksgiving
Day for ever, a shrine before
which the fires never go out. AnC
dis we gather around our OWE
good table, let us remember some
homeless or E0or or lnbefrlendef
on, 1t viii brighten our own ~
well as their Thanksgiving.

When kind old lady, in walking

All right" replied the youngster,
reinquishing the stick.
Getting down on her knees the old
lady, by dint of much stretching and
careful manipulation, 81 tIally worked
the machine toward .le fence and at
last had the satisfaction of seeing the
little boy grasp it with eager fingers.
Now she said, you must be more
careful and not let it get away with
you again"

POLICE WOMEN IN THE WEST
Cities of Portland and Seattle Are
Said to Have Found the lnno-
walton Satisfactory.

The cities of the west are never
afraid of innovations, says the ST
Paul Dispatch. This is one explana-
ton Of the existence of police women
in Portland and Seattle. The other eI
PLANTATION must be found in the fact
that these cities have discovered that
police women are needed in the bust,
ness OF maintaining orGer and solv-
ing problems of order in the large
cities. The old theory that men are
the criminals and must be policed by
MEN is giving way before the fact that
there do appear from time to time
women criminals, and especially be-
fore the fact that women can be saved
before crime fixes them permanently
in its possession.
In Portland there Is a woman on
the police force who has done efficient
work in connection with the Young
Women's Christian association - an
other vital factor in large towns in the
ordering of the city She had also

At the family home on the Fuller place near Carlisle on Tuesday, March 29th 1910, oc- cured the death of Mrs. Bertha Whitaker Wife of J. w. Whit taker. Mrs. Whitaker leaves beside her husband, five chil- dren ranging in age from two to sixteen years, a mother and two brothers to mourn her loss.
 Mrs. Whitaker was a devoted wife and mother, happy and cheerful in her everyday domes- tic life. To her mother she was more than a daughter; she was a companion and a comfort, think ing always of her mother and sparing her all that was in her power. To her brothers she was loving sister.
 At an early age she gave her heart to Christ and has ever since been devoted to her church and her God, working earnestly in her masters service.
 After a brave fight for life for many weeks the frail body gave up the eager spirit and she passed to her eternal reward. The remains were taken to Anti och where in the presence of the relatives and loving friends she was laid to rest. The sympathy of the entire community is with the family in their bereavement.
