Review SOC Per Year

Ii is the custom of many news
papers to offer premiums oc-
casionally in order To acquire a
larger subscription list. Differ
ent articles that run the gamut
from books TO household utensils
are thus held out as inducements
by various publications. The
Review has decided to inaugurate
a campaign for a larger subscrip-
tion list in ST, Johns. Owing to
the closeness of times and cor
responding scarcity of the coin
of the realm. instead of Offering
premiums, the Review will be
sent TO any address i'm st. Johns
at one-half price. on fifty cents
per year, which we believe will
be more appreciated than a pre-
mium would be. This reduction
in price will hold good only until
January first. Present subScrib-
ers may avail themselves of the
bargain rate also by paving up
arrears, if any exist, and fifty |
cents for one year in advance.
Every home i'm st Johns should
receive the Review each week. !
L is a duty every citizen owes |
o the community, because the |
arger the subscription list the
letter paper, and the better the
,aper the more benefit il will be
o the community. Take advan-
age of the bargain rate, and |

Thanksgiving Services

Thanksgiving Day was very
iittingly closed with a union
meeting of the churches of st.
Johns. The service was held in
the United Evangelical church:
Rev. w. f.. Ingalls, preached the
sermon. There was a full house
and a hearty spirit of good will
prevailed. Every one seemed to
be thankful that the churches
are becoming a unit i'm the battle
for righteousness. Rev. Ingalls,
came before us with clean cut
convictions and the courage TO
back them. The following is an
excerpt of what be brought i'm
his message:
Thanksgiving has two aspects.
one personal. the other national
having its origin in the blessings
of providence 10 the nation 29l
years ago considered from every
side its reaches are vast. II com.
prehends "A nation and It's de-
pendence upon God. A fine ob.
servance of the day calls into
being the finest optimism. and
IL is only the religiously disposed
that can be optimists. A thank
ful spirit is essentially Christian.
We think there is undue con-
sideration of the gift and not
enough of the giver. To apprc-
ciate the gift fully we must con-
slider the giyer. The highest
and finest and best spirit of
Thanksgiving cannot be based
upon the "loaVes and fishes"
Some things have happened
during the past year over which
we do not rejoice, perhaps be.
cause we do not know the Divine !
plan and purpose fully.
The great floods i'm Ohio. I'm. |

which we can be thankful: thank
