Union Thanksgiving Service
Sermon by Rev. j. NJ. Frost.

The Union Thanksgiving day service,
Thursday forenoon, at the First Baptist
church was well attended and much
enjoyed. Rev. c. d. Sanders of the
lutheran church read the Scripture
lesson. Rev F. 5. Hartley of the Free
Baptist church offered prayer The
sermon was delivered by Rev j. Nj
Frost of the Pleasant Street Methodist
Episcopal church. His subject was:
Gratitude, Its Duty and Privilege"
He began by saying THE conserya-
ton of our festivals as we'll as our
forests is one of the great concerns
of a progressive civilization and it is
upon the church that this responsible
ity rests. The proclamation which calls
us together illustrates an ideal coop
Grafton Of church and State. 1t is the
church which must define the essen
tial Thanksgiving on which the perpe-
tuty Of the festival depends.
THE Hon. Richmond p Hobson
says: TT is an axiom of history that
when the average citizen falls below q
certain minimum of character then
local self-government becomes impos-
sible.' We may safely assert that
gratitude Is that minimum When
Benedict Arnold lost his gratitude
nothing was too sacred for>him to de-
'stroy I hate ingratitude,' said Shake
speare more than lying, vainless bah
bling, drunkenness or any faint of
vice
we welcome this proclamation from
the Executives of State and nation as
conservators of gratitude.
First: Gratitude and customs are
not always the best of friends. When
gratitude becomes limited and circum-
scribed by custom then it needs watch
ing. Custom and cobwebs are coinci-
dent. One involves, then evolves the
other. Hence, the need of the Thanks
giving sermon.
Mr.. Frost enumerated the following
as some of the cobwebs: The dead
hand of the historic past, the mere
command to be grateful, superficial
gratitude that make hvpocrites, ph9ri-
sees and Journalists, together with the
gratitude which is materialistic and

Barbarities by
Arabs and Turks

Washington Nov. 30-Stones of almost
incredible barbarities practiced by Arab.
and Turks are contained in dispatches
received at the Italian embassy here. Il
a dispatch received, today. from Rome
the Italian minister o. foreign affairs
describes alleged atrocities practieed OF
the Italian wounded which include cru
eifxon and burial alive. Women. it i.
said, take part in the preparation OF
these cruelties.
The dispatch, whica is signed by sig.
nor San Giuliano, minister Of foreign
affairs, follows:
Near the Mosque Of Han. where The
medical post of the 27th battalion of Ber-
saglieri had been located, and in it's vi
cinity. % bodies of cur soldiers were
found. They were horribly mutilated
crucifed, with their threats cut open
impaled torn to pieces, and dismember-
ed. Amongst them there was the body
of surgeon lieutenant.
In the Arabs cemetery. near the
place where the fourth company of
Bersaglicri was located, seven bodies
of Bersaglieri We're discovered. They
had been inferred alive, with the heads
these shows that ne had been terribly
tortured 1t showed many shots and
dagger wounds; the eyes had been
pulled out and threaded and the eye
lids sewn to the brows. This body
shows terrible spasmodic contractions.
Another one had one arm out of the
earth from which the hand had been
cut off. The body of Bersaglieri had
been torn TO pieces.
"A captains cap had been found.
It's owner was identified by Corporal
Pasqual, who escaped miraculously,
only after remaining over, four hours
in a ditch. He testified that amongst
the feroeious i'll treating hordes were
Turks and women. The Military Engi-
neer Corps took photogra phs."
The dispatch also confirms the with
drawal of the italian troops from
Hennf. This. it is said, was necessary,
because the Turks had polluted the

gotten gains with the social leper and
libertine, and criminals untouched as
vet by the law. Gladness is not graft
tudo; the Thanksgiving spirit is So
tender and so easily grieved that 1
sometimes am jealous lest so good Il
thing as politics should overwhelm II
or patriotism. with its laudation of
men and land and product should
eclipse it.
Second: Gratitude and adversely
seem almost inseparable. Thanksgiving
is really the festival of the poor.
When David said My cup runnetn
over he was not in affiuenee but af-
flieted, prosecuted, hunted, forsaken
and ready to die.
Third: Gratitude does not depend
upon our possessions. There is moth
ing materialistie or monopolistic or
socialistic about the words of St. Paul
in the text In the province of God IL
was never intended that life should
consist in the abundance OF the things
which VIC possess. Mere possessions
are often the cataract over that soufs
vision shutting out the larger views
of life. Until Cardinal Wolsey lost
his all he never came to his own and
to his' God"
1.-THE secret of gratitude lies in own
ership. Some possess more than they
own. The diving king had to admit to
his court fool that he could not deliy-
or a needle to a friend on the other
side Of the grave. For while he pos
sessed II. it was not his, he did not
own it, it was not a part Of himself.
Fifth: The menu of the feast Of
gratitude Our text enumerates the Va
ricus course of the festival. All things
are yours, whether Paul. or Appolos,
or Cephas. the world, life. death,
things present and things to come
all are yours because Of the Christ of
ratitu6e in the heart of our relation
to the father"
In conclusion, Mr.. Frost said; "Our
greatest foe is discomfort arising
from looking on the dark side, which,
while it NAV contain something worth
discovery. is in vain to look upon, be-
cause il cannot be seen nut with the
vision of the souls wealth

A CLOSE SHAVE.
Splitting on Sidewalk Almost Costs
Man THANKSGIVING Turkey.

The joy of sidewalk expectoration
or a Thanksgiving turkey dinner, one
or the other for S. being the alterna-
tive before him. John McInnes. 81
years old, of Charlestown Mass
through the kindness of Judge Muir
ray of the municipal court, Wednes-
day, secured both for his five-spot.
McInnes walked in front of the
North station, Boston, Wednesday
morning, with SIS note in his pocket
He WAS on his way to the market to
buy his turkey. He smaeked his lips
at the Thought of turkey meat, tender
white and tender dark, and all the
fixin's. The smacking stimulated saliV-
alton. and McInnes, oblivious of con-
sequences, in vision of Thursday
heaping table. did spit upon the side
walk.
Joe Clancy, Boston's humorous po-
licelnan, famed far and wide for his
wit, his eagle eye for spitters and for
his generous heart, saw the dastardly
act. There was for him but the per
Torrance of his duty. He brought Nc.
Innes to court.
After MeInnes had pleaded guilty
Officer CLANCY said TO Judge Murray
This man seems to be a decent sor'
of person, and unfortunately all the
money he has is S. for his Thanks
giving dinner. Now, if he pays a fine
he won't have any dinner, and he was
on his way to buy one when he spat.
Judge Murray then said:
My man, you were doing most
goodly thing in going to buy a Thanks
giving turkey. l place your case on
file. fer l do not want you and your
family to be denied heaping table to-
morrow
Now take care not to spit again
between the court house and your
home. I sincerely hope you enjoy your
Thanksgiving dinner"
And McInnes went on his way, a
happy man, with an exalted opinion OF
true Justice and, of the law
