through the stamping on the sticks, for every

Dynamite is easily obtained by criminals, al

A REAL. THANKSGIVING

Is not this a year for giving real
thanks for our many benefits and sue
cesses? When practically all Europe
is at war when starvation, hunger
and cold is sapping the likelihood from
so many thousands OF mankind cam
not we find many things to be really
thankful for?
AS the psalmist of old admonished
the hosts to offer unto God thanks
giving and pay their VOWS unto the
Most High so should we seek to
please Him with our thanksgiving.
Thank God for everything within
you that bids you remember Him
Belief in God is a real blessing 1t is
our sacred duty TO pause for at least
one day in the year in the eager rush
for wealth and pleasure, to remember
in thanksgiving, the giver Of all good
things.
We should praise Him with a crate
full heart for the many blessings and
mercies we have received while mil
lions suffer privation and other mil
Ions mourn their dead.
Thanksgiving day is dstinctively
American, and a stronger note Of
gratitude should appear this year than
ever before.
Half of the worlds population is
involved in war we are blessed with
peace. HarVests in many countries
have been devastated; while to us
mammoth crops have been given. In
other lands there are few homes
which have not sent father, son or
brother To the battle front, many Of
them never to return
In our favored land happy flresides
remain undisturbed and unbroken
enjoying the blessings Of an abound
ing harvest and uninterrupted peace
why should not all the people Of
America assemble in their places Of
worship and devoutly give thanks to
Almighty God?
The war has turned the people Of
Europe to the churches in hordes. In
time Of great danger the mind of
guidance and help. Should those
who have been favored with unnum-
bered blessings, be slower in giving
God thanks than those in distress are
in calling for help?
With the growing tendency to make
the annual Thanksgiving a Weekend
holiday time, more people absent
themselves from church than ever be-
fore. Yet there has never been
time when people needed the help of
the church and its influence more
than i'm this year of 1914
Why not observe Thanksgiving this
year by crowding the churches in a
spirit OF reverence and true devotion?

King football will be the center of

Day when the local High School

defying group OF pigskin punters

history of Ionia county football has
aroused so much interest and enthuS-
iasm as the approaching battle for
county honors to be staged here
Thursday at three o'clock and every
thing points TO a record breaking at
tendance.
All Interested in the welfare Of High
School athletics should manifest their
good will by their presence at the
game. Athletic relations between the
two contending high schools are warm
and cordial, and fast clean, but
stubbornly fought game may be eX-
pected. Both aggregations have had
an unusually successful season. The
interest in the coming contest has
been manifested by the Portland citi-

prcciates the loyal support given in

dition for the battle. Every Belding

pany the gridiron hopefuls TO BeldinS

Bedding authorities consider them
selves fortunate in securing Coach
Helmer Of the Central Normal School
to referee the game, especially SO
when we consider that Helmer was
later asked To ofliciate at the Detroit
Central-Flint game. at Detroit on
the same day. However Helmer has
consented to come to Belding, and it
is expected that an NJ. \. c man will
act as umpire Or. s. a. Horning,
secretary Of the board Of education
of Portland, and 7. w. Peck of the
local board OF education will act as
linesmen. The game will be called

GRAIN EXPORTS

Notwithstanding the war in Eu-
rope American grain dealers have
since July l sent over two hundred
million dollars worth of cereals TO
the nations across the water which
means that an era Of business pros
perity is in sight for this country dur
ing the coming year. II is essential
that the people OF Europe have flour
and other foodstuffs and as long as
the seas are controlled by the navies
Of the allies there will be an open
market for the products Of this coun-
try. There may be some risk to be
run in getting these commodities
across the ocean. but it will be worth
while TO take the chance, For the
next few years the United States will
be the granary Of the world and this
commercial advantage must be made
the most Of by the business interests
of the country What is true Of the
grain trade is true Of a great many
other branches and Americans must
get busy and keep busy while the
harvest is good. This is no time To
back and wait for prosperity to come
when il stands at the ports of the ma
ton waiting to be admitted. The
door must be opened and it does not
require much courage or effort to
perform the feat. American genius
is far greater than that of any other
nation if directed in the right chan
ucls and this fact must be borne in
mind by the people who are wanting
more business in various lines. This
is the golden opportunity that has
been awaited by business interests Of
the United States and there should be
no halt in making the most OF the
chance that the present war is offer
ing.

TO be expected that Christianity had
leavened the whole lump of civiliZa-
ton. The leaven is working, however.
The very fact that the charge Of a
failure is made against Christianity
because of the present war proves that
a different feeling has come into the
world concerning war. And Christian
ity is responsible for this feeling.
We are not aware that any other
religion was ever indicted on a charge
of permitting a war The Roman
citizen certainly did not accuse his
gods of such a crime. Indeed the
Roman had god OF war.
The very fact that Christianity has
been charged with the responsibility
OF the war is in itself an admission
Of the fact that Christianity has made
itself felt in the world.
