Baltimore and the Preparations Made
For the National Democratic Convention

Baltimore. June 1.-THE same en-
ergy that the citizens of Baltimore dis
played in going after the democratic
national convention is evident in the
preparations that have been made
here for the comfort and entertain
ment of the convention guests and
the convenience of the political lead
ers and delegates who will name the
party's next candidate for president
AS soon as Baltimore was chosen for
the convention city, the Maryland leg
islature authorized the city to expend
$55. 900 in repairing and relighting
and decorating streets and buildings.
This was exclusive of the $4,000 ap-
propriated for remodeling the Fifth
Regiment armory, where the delegates
will assemble.
ington to lay the advantages of Balti-
more before the democratic national
committee was composed largely of
bankers and business men. One of
their first arguments was the presen-
tation of certified check for 100000
as guarantee that Baltimore would
do all that 1t promised. The commit
tee agreed to furnish one of the best
convention halls in the country. to re-
saw fit and to do everything in their
power to oil the intricate mechanism
of the convention routine and look
after the convenience not only Of the
delegates but also of the guests from
all parts of the country who would
attend.
Preparations to fulfil these prom
ises and go even further have been
carried out here by means Of thorough
organization. The first step. after the
meeting Of the convention here was
assured, was the appointment Of a
citizens committee Of 900, which was
divided into subcommittee. and to
each of these was delegated a certain
part Of the work. At the head of the
whole organization is the Hon. Rob-
ert Grain and Mayor Preston, the lat
ter by virtue of his office and Mr.,
Grain as chairman Of the executive
committee of the citizens general or

ical reactions--the free endowment of
God upon the universe-were worth
millions to the company for extracting
the values from the ores. And there
was the ore itself, free to the man
who first uncovered it. 1t IL in the
simple and the common that we find
our greatest values. But these are the
very things for which we fail to feel
or express our gratitude. Even Gods
grace in the religion of Jesus Christ
is common, ana yet IL we only had our
eyes open to see. we would account 1t
the pearl of greatest price.
And now while we have mentioned
oil these gracious benefits in the spirit
of Thanksgiving to God. l believe 1t to
be true that the great majority of our
countrymen are unthankful. We ver-
lily are guilty ourselves.
Couses Of Ingratitude.
May it not be worth while for us
to inquire the causes OF this widespread
ingratitude to God? We ourselves are
greatly the losers because Of our un-
thankfulness.
Canon Liddon has given us an an
alysis of the inquiry and gives me
Tic tHicc IcdSOiiS WHICH pTSSeul u
you.
THE first reason for thankfulness is
in this: We do not see the Oliver. Yer
lily God hides himself. Unlike vulgar
human benefactors He does not OBJ
trude his person upon us until we are
perforce led to thank Him. God is
In hiding behind His secondary causes,
behind the winds. the rain, the laws
of gravity. the skill Of physicians, be-
hind remedial and supplying agencies
that can be effective and operative
only with His blessing. Behind all
that is beneficient is the Fathers
will.
THE second reason is that we do
not see the value of His gifts. Only
one leper out of 10 returned TO thank
Christ for the healing that came to
him as he journeycd away from
Christ. The other nine probably
thought that even though they had re-
ceiyed the coveted health. still as they
looked about it was only what the great
majority of, their fellow countrymen
had. But shall we let the universal
ity Of Gods benefcence make US into
ingrates. The few who were saved
from the Titanic gave devoutest thanks
for their salvation from a watery grave.
They forgot to give thanks en- former

THANKS DUE FOR

"Thankfulness and IN
thankfulness" Theme Of
Rev. Quickenden at IN
ion Thanksgiving Service.

"Thankfulness and Unthankfulness,'
was the theme of the Thanksgiving
sermon preached this morning by Rev.
Henry Quickenden. pastor of the South
Boise Presbyterian church, at the UNI
ion Thanksgiving service at the First
Baptist church. He chose his text from
the one hundred and third psalm,
BLESS the Lord o My Soul and Forget
Not All His Benefits" He spoke Of
the bountiful harvests Of the last year.
the great cause for thanksgiving
throughout this country, but showed
that the greatest cause for thanksgiv-
Ing was because Of the simpler things
in life.
The Baptist church was crowded and
while the services were simple they
were impressive. Several beautiful Sc
lections were rendered by the choir and
the service was closed by the singing
OF the national hymn. America"
The sermon by Rev.. Quickenden is
given in part as follows:
To-day we shall turn our gaze away
from the doleful and despairing; today
we shall not revert to the dangerous
paths over which we have come and
the toilsome marches we have had
over flinty ways, and through deserts
and by the bitter waters. Today we
are called upon to count our blessings.
not our woes, not our dismal forebod-
ings The minor note will be reserved
for other days and other places. This
house for us today is the house of
praise, one part Of which shall be
thanksgiving. And if God shall only
be pleased to attune our discordant
souls there shall be with us at this
season the note Of harmony. Crate
full retrospect will be ours and looking
forward into the unknown days and
unknown ways, we shall enter them az.
by faith and hope, knowing that the
same God who has led us hitherto shall
still lead on DER moor and fen DER crag
and torrent till the night is done
This was the faith Of Newman in
Gods goodness and this, too, please
God, shall be our faith also. We have
not travelled the future, but God has,
and He will be the same God he was
to his people in their yesterdays. The
years to come are His, not ours; and
in the hands of a bountiful and gra-
cious God we can safely and thank
fully and confidently place our des-
tiny. The past has been we'll with
us even though perchance the hand Of
discipline may have been upon US for
our good.

occasions when they with thousands
aboard had been kept safe to the har-
Dor landing. So do we treat God when
He makes His good gifts universal.
They, seem cheap to us because they
are common and universal. Do we COM
pei God to give less in order to make
us grateful and appreciative?
"A third reason Is that we do not
see the use of giving thanks. 1t does
not on the surface appeal to the util-
itarian within us. We can see the use
of prayer. We want something and
we can have it by asking God for 1t.
But after we have received His gifts
what is the use or profit to us in ex-
pressing our gratitude. God does not
want to be paid for His bounty by
our poor thanks.
But there is good that comes to
us through the habit of thankfulness.
As Liddon remarks, 'Thankfulness is
the frank acknowledgement of truth
A man develops his real manhood only
as he readily acknowledges every truth
that Is related to his life. Thankful
ness is recognition of debt we owe
to God for the blessings of the past.
Paul tells us that the heather heart

God they glorified Him not as God,
neither were thankful Such moral
darkness comes to every man who does
not learn to thank the author of His
benefactions.
"No wonder the psalmist who wrote
the one-hundred- and third psalm made
II urgent upon himself to forget not
all the benefits He knew the prone
ness of human nature and the result
ant deterioration of manhood. We need
this day and others like 1t in which
to cultivate this grace. The American
people are in danger Of thinking that
they by their own right arm have got

We shall perish miserably from the
earth If we do not look to Him for
the best we hope for and thank Him

Tho Common Things.
But after all is said about special
bounties and mercies. it still remains
as the greater thing to say that the
common and the simple things Of life
constitute our greatest cause for
thanksgiving. The exceptional and che
unusual impress us as causes for
thanksgiving and our dull hearts seem
to say that il Gods gifts were less
common and less universal we would
praise Him more. The value Of the
simple and the common was impressed
upon me by q visit to the Anaconda

gether there had cost the corporation

smelter that what was of mos: value

They shook the depths of the desert

These were the people that gave us
this Thanksgiving service. They had
grace enough to thank God that for
the winter they had a peck of corn
apiece. Such thanksgiving puts us to
shame. But what Is more by far, they
gave us the truth that Jesus Christ
alone is the head of the church, that
the Bible is the sole rule of faith and
practice, that the church is an inde-
pendent organization ruled by the peo-
pie under God. They were anxious
about the training Of their children in
the ways Of God, and they were eager
to spread the gospel to remote parts.
