union THANKSGIVING
SERVICE.
REV. W. H.. HETRICK EXPLAINS TRUE
MEANING OF THE Day CONT CASTS
PRESENT 0BSERVANCES NTH PAST.

Enter into His gates with Thanks
giving and into His courts with praise:
be thankful unto Him and bless His
name. "-Ps4 100:4
Among other things Rev. VIM. FL
Hetrick, Pastor of Grace Lutheran
church this city in addressing the
union Thanksgiving congregation
said: I'VE feel this il a day to wor-
ship God We would not only feast in
our comfortable homes, gather with
our Joyous friends about the bounties
OF the fields, enter into the merri-
ment of pleasure and jollity, but we
would likewise come before His pres
ence with Thanksgiving and render
unto Him His dues. We believe we
can enjoy the day all the better when
it has thus been sanctified with right
full devotion and seasoned with de-
serving prayer.
The day takes On a hallowed joy
which the goddess, the selfish, the
ungrateful cannot appreciate because
the darkness of this world has blind
ed their eyes. But the earth becomes
q better earth to us because we be-
lieve God Is in it. The good things
to feast upon are the more valued and
enjoyed in the higher thought that
God has provided them and made us
the recipients Of them.
lit seems to us that that phase Of
Thanksgiving Day which would spend
it godlessly, apart from any act Of
worship, divorced from prayer and
taken up entirely with self-indulgent
recreation, feasting and pleasure, is
+rN nvr1 nh he
of this national occasion and degrade
it into a mere travesty on gratitude,
Upon whom are we to acknowledge
our Thanksgiving but unto God, and
surely this cannot be done more &C
ceptably and in more BETTING and
appropriate way, than by seeking Him
where He may be found and calling
upon Him while Tie is near; which is
only another way OF saying that the
sanctuary il the way or HIS appoint
ment and the proper place to express
our gratitude unto Him.
What must we think Of the graft
tude OF a nation which sees only the
holiday aspect of such a day as this,
rushing wildly into places of amuse-
ments, past the open doors Of the
church, where God waits In vain for
the worship of those whom He has SO
richly blessed? II America really pro-
-foundly grateful today under such
goddess Indifference and infidelity to
religion?
We are setting up the worship OF
Mammon And it seems to us nothing
shows it quite SO plainly as the way in
which a day such as this is observed,
when contrasted with the religious
fervor and reverent spirit of our col
onial forefathers who gathered them
selves into places of worship and
thanked God for free country free
institutions, and the inalienable right
to worship God unmolested.
What must God think of us when
He looks down upon our favored
land, our untold prosperity, our reek-
ing plenty, and swollen wealth, to find
us running amuck into unbridled
license, into sensual qualification, into
the ripping folly OF unhallowed
amusements, on day when He is to
be supplicated and thanked as the
Author of our liberties, and the Bene-
factor Of our blessRgs?"

GOVERNOR WILL NOT
CALL EXTRA SESSION
PEOPLE OF OKLAHOMA HAVE
HAD ENOUGH LEGISLATION, HE
sAYS-sTANO COMMENDED.

Since Governor Lee Cruce has taken
the position that the conviction OF
two election inspectors in federal
court at End does not create an emer-
sency urgent enough 10 cal a special
session of 1he legislature for the pur-
pose of amending the election laws Of
the state 50 one election may be held
for state officers and another for CON
greesmen, he has received a large
number of letters commencing him for
the course he has taken, and his re
fusal to call a special session for po-
litical purposes.
In but one instance has the COVER
nor received a letter favoring the spe
Cial session and condemnng his ac-
ton, and from the tenor of all other
communications he is more convinced
than ever that the people do not wan!
the legislature called, in spite of all
the protestations offered to that ef
feet by the state democratic central
committee.
Il believe the people of this state
have had enough of legislation, and
are heartily opposed to- another meet
ing of the lawmakers" said Governor
Cruce, Wednesday.
The one letter which the Governor
received urging that the legislature be
called gave as a reason the necessity
OF passing a law separating the state
and national elections, 50 that negroes
my he prevented from voting az the
state election.
This state went democratic by more
than. 10000 at the first state election,
when the negroes were free to vote,
at The next election, it will simply be
because they have not made good, and
this do not believe" is the argument
OF the governor in reply to arguments
in favor of the dual election law,
He contends, further, that a call for
a special session on purely political
grounds will act as a boomerang to
the party in power, as it always has
done, and that the democrats would
suffer by such a partisan move.
In fact the governors way of look
ing at the question is virtually the
same as when he made state
ment some time ago, declaring that
there will be no special session. -
