The whereabouts OF George s.

remains a mystery So far as can
be learned no tidings have been re-
ceived concerning him and the mys-

impossible TO get any trace, If re-
ports are to be given due credit.

the city checking UP the accounts, is
still at work, but no report has been
given ont. The safe remains closed,
but it is understood that 1t will be
opened tonight, even should drastic
methods have to be resorted to.
There is considerable comment
heard on the streets and many rea
sons are offered for his strange dis
appearance, and some of them ap-
pear very good ones. MIR, BarrIs
friends are making a thorough inves-
tigation and hope to soon clear up
the mystery.

shops, at the loom, in the marts Of
trade, the "tricia round and the
common task" have claimed our
thought and our energies. Today at
the command of the President of the
United States and the Governor Of
this state We cease our daily tasks
and stop to rest. and think, and
praise We have been living in the
valley amid the noise and din of
business through the year. today we
climb to the summit Of the year, and
from its hilltop Of vision We think
of the gifts and catch a glimpse Of
the Giyer.
True thanksgiving is rooted and
grounded in mediation. We are OF
ten unthankful not because we are OF
necessity ungrateful but because we
are minimizing. Think and thank
are from the same root; they are
twin flowers upon the same stem.
When we begin to think, to ponder,
to mediate, to contemplate, to turn
over in our minds Gods infinite mer-
cies our hearts are naturally, newt
ably filled with deep and abiding
thanksgiving. Read the psalms care
fully and you will see that this is
the spirit of the psalmists. When
they began to mediate they began
to extol; as soon as they began TO
ponder, they began to praise; and
when they began to consider, they
began to consecrate. We are living
in one of the most fertile valleys OF
the world God has richly endowed
it. Wonderful limestone formations;
beautiful landscapes; prolific or
chards; fertile fields; splendid home

flowers. How good our Creator has
been to our section of the country
Yes, 1t is ours. We have taken it
as our right. 1t is part Of our
common life, we never think about
it. When you begin to think about
it, you begin to thank. Let us stop
today and think, and "offer to God
