Thanksgiving Day

giving the first ever appointed by a
governor in an authoritative way. on
February 22 1881. there occurred in
Boston the first Thanksgiving ceiebfa-
tion of which any written account re-
mains among the colonial archives. The
first regular Thanksgiving proclamation
was printed In Massachusetts, in 1871.
The first Thanksgiving proclamation
ever issued by a president of the United
States was by George Washington In
1855. From Massachusetts the custom
spread 20 the other colonies. In 1880 the
governor OF Nv York appointed a day
for public thanksgiving, and other north
ern states quickly followed.
In the south Thanksgiving day was
practically unknown till about 1856. when
Governor John Of Virginia urged the
observance Of the day In letter 10 the
legislature; but the idea met with hot
opposition. on the ground that II was
New England superstition" aud the
wiped ont by the civil war. In 1854 Presi-
dent Lincoln issued a Thanksgiving
proclamation. which was followed by the
governors of most OF the states and We
may say that since that year Thanks
giving has been an annual holiday
throughout the entire country.
About the institution as Il exists to-
day there is nothing sectarian or sec
tional, but over the entire union the day
is observed by all Americans alike as the
time for family reunion. good cheer and
general rejoicing and gratitude.

Rev. George H.

May 10th will be the fifth ami versary of the beginning of his charge at the church in Colmar.
 Pastor StrouSe has had a missionary experience in two fields, Africa and In dia, has filled student pastorates while in college and theological seminary. and has. had one settled pastorate before coming to the church here. He grad uated at Peddie Institute in the class of 1902, and then attended Lafayette college but left there before gradua- tion to go to the mission field on the west coast of Africa Here he spent a year. His oldest child, now boy of g, was born in Africa. Upon his re- turn from Africa. Rev. MT. Strouse at tended Crozier Theological seminary. and, graduating there in the fall Of 1907, took and passed his exa ninations under the American Board at Boston, and received an appointment to India. He was at Calcutta and also at Assam, and was stationed at NoWgong, in the shadow of the Himalayas. but was compelled to abandon the station after a month on account of the health of Mrs. Strouse. Returning to this coun- try, he was called to the pastorate at Colmar, having another call at the same time to a church in Philadelphia, but preferring the Colmar charge. where he has since been and where his labors have met with marked success.

VIGOROUS SERMON
 BY LENTEN PREACHER.
The Reality of He'll Was the Theme of Rev. J. B. Kelly at St. Patrick's Church.

Rev. J. B. Kelly, O. P. of New Ha- ven was the speaker at the largely at tended evening vesper service held at St. Patrick's church Sunday evening. The Reality of Hell was his subject, and he spoke in part as follows: From the beginning of time to Jesus Christ and from the day of Christ to the present, handed down from age to
 age and from generation to generation,
 has been the realization of a future place of torment to receive the souls of the damned, and amid all the here
 sies which have assailed the church,
 prove this dogma. If one does but
 read the religious systems of all the
 people of the world for all time, one
 --il' find in each one a hell in some
 form.
 Punishment Everlasting.
 The torments of hell are everlasting.
 According to Christ. on the last day the Mighty Judge of all shall say to
 the evil: Depart from me into ever lasting fire" The soul consents to wickedness with full knowledge of it's evil. The soul tramples knowingly the precious blood of Christ, shed on the cross for this very soul. He is patient with sinners here, reserving punish ment until the hereafter. God was ter rib1e when he destroyed all save Noah and his ark, terrible when he sent down the fire of heaven on Sodom and Gomorrah, but S1l this Is as nothing to the chaStisement reserved for the wicked in the world to come.
 When the final day comes the scales fall from the eyes and the sinner knows his loss and will turn to Him. But 1t is too late. He refused to rec ognize his Master in life and meets no sympathy in death. One may forget Him in the pleasures of this world, but man is made for God, and without Him life is unbaerahle. What does man re- ceive when he leages God? When the day comes he finds himself rejected by God, burning with a desire which can never be satisfied. His desires are shut up within him; he feels pain Of lpss and remorse We must put forth en- ergetic, assiduous effort to save our souls. As the Master said, Keep My They are easy, yet broad is the way that leadeth to de- struction, and many there be that en- ter therein They do little or nothing for their salvation. They will deplore it forever and ever. Souls racked with reuorse will cry What would it have cost to have kept the ents and lived a good and virtuous life Be- hold the cause of my loss. Fool that 1 am! Had I but done as much for my souls salvation as I have done for my own damnation!" The one despised by the. sinner on earth will be with the saints in heaven while the sinner raves in hell.
 Be prudent and provident, and be not numbered among these poor un- fortunates. If thou wilt enter into eternal life, keep the commandments God has given to every man the means of saving his soul. Use them carefully and scrupulously; then will you avoid eternal ruin and enter into the life eternal with our Lord.
