We hare reason To be grateful 70:
the way IN which our charitable in
gtitutiong have 5een sustained. The
suin. that cares for the aged and
inflrrn and helpless, finds its highest
sngpiratioz in TIE love Of God anc
In the teaching and example oil
Christ. So common vas the neg
lect and oppression Of these classes
in Isaiaa's time that he predicted
an alleviation OF their suferinga
when the Messiah shculj come Je
sus read his prophecy in the syna-
gogue al Nazareth The Spirit OF
the Lord is upon me because ne
hath annointed me to preach the
gospel to the poor, he hath sent me
to heal the broken hearted TO preach
deliyerance to the captive and re-
covery Of sight TO the blind, to sci
at liberty them that are bruised 10
proclaim the acceptable year OF the
Lord and he said this day is this
scripture fulfilled in your ears. we
have seen the progressive fllfill-
ment OF this prophecy in the grow
Ing liberty Of the subject classes.
We see IL in the many institutions
for the care OF the helpless and Toy
the alleviation OF suffering and for
the enlightenment OF the benighted |
and we can still say, this day is
this scripture fulfilled" We live
in an age Of fulfilling prophecy, and
ten thousand charitable institutions /
lift their domes and spires heaven
ward On this glad Thanksgiving daT
and testify that Isaiah ras an in
spired prophet and that Jesus IS the
promised Messiah.
We have reason too foi gratitude
IN the progress Of the church.
While one line Of Christian activ-
itv may take a slump. some other
line is stimulated While church
attendance may rave SLIGHTLY fallen
Off the Sunday School has had pro-
digious development missionary en-
terprire has been marvelously quick
cned and extended.
Christianity was small in its be-
ginning, compared to a grain OF
mustard, to a little stone cut out
Of the mountain without lands, to a
little lcaven which a woman too''
and hid in three measures OF meal |
All these figures teach the small
beginning Of the church. But thn
mustard seed grew, the little stone
became a mountain, the whole lump
Was leayened. All these figures teach
the gradual growth and final tri-
umph OF the church in the world.
Christianity was put into a world
