ACKNOWLEDGED BLESSINGS

Frorns time immemorial il has been q
custom of the human race, civilized and
uncivilized, at the termination of the
harvest season, whatever that harvest
may have been-the increase from the
fields, or the orchards, or the vineyards,
or the fiocks-to set aside one day in
which to express thanks, and offer sac
rifices Of gratitude, to the great Great
or for His uniform beneficience to man.
kind.
Thanksgiving in the United States
this year takes on an intense signif-
canoe because of the exceptional bless
ing we enjoy in comparison with the
rest of the world. "Magnifcent" is
the only word that covers the harvests
that bave been reaped from fields, and
orchards, and vineyards, and flocks, and
mines, and forests, and fisheries. Great
has been the increase in material
wealth.
Peace and prosperity are daily guests
of the American people.
Mexico. our neighbor to the south,
is bathed in the blood of revolution and
anarchy.
All Europe is torn with the terrors,
destruction and horrors of the most
fearful war mankind has ever known.
South America is in the agony of fl
nancial depression and crop failure.
Nations of Asia are depressed; fam
inc stalks through their land.
In America-Peace, Prosperity, Con-
tentment.
A trade journal. after carefully in
voicing matters in our nation and other
countries of the earth, finds the sched-
ule above as a portion of the reasons
for rejoicing and thanksgiving on part
of the peace-loving people of the Unit
ed States.
Locally, we have much to be thankful
for. We are blessed with community
healthfulness, little poverty, abundant
crops, spirit of neighborly interest in
each other that makes for best things
in life. Thankful, lien, we should be,
for Benefactor of love and mercy.

RR$S ~ EH who even in
hWXWWTx6&G stormy times of
hN&NERsSHM possible or actual
persecution were
exhorted to be Of good cheer and to
count up their mercies." Paul's
words are not only hortatory, but
also mandatory. 1t is the duty OF
the Christian, amid all vicissitudes,
to be thankful. A believer is never
justified in forgetting Gods benefits
to him. He is expected to figure out
every now and then the sum of the
divine favors that have been shown
to him, or what might be called the
statistics Of salvation. 1t is true that
divine mercies have been innumer-
able, and cannot be tabulated with
anything like completeness; yet the
Christian believer is exhorted to
dwell upon these mercies in thought
and to render vivid to his mind, by
frequent reflection, so many of the
visitations of divine favor as he can
discern providentially unfolded in
his past life.
There is, then, a duty of thanks
giving. Praise is the expected thing.
gratitude is demanded. God is dis
appointed, and even angered, when
men receive his gifts without return
ing thanks. The Lord is gracious,
but that is no reason why the chill
dren of men should be ungraciously
thankless. Thanksgiving is a part
of the code of duty of a Christian, it
is an integral portion of the deca-
logue of moral action. II is not a
kind of extra service, or superfuous
activity added on to the body of duty
otherwise complete, but is of the
warp and wool of the Christians OBJ
legation. BE thankful" was not the
idle, chance remark of a sentimental
apostle, but is the New Testament in
depreciation Of the Old Testament
burden of blessing.
But II thankfulness Is a duty, II is
none the less on that account a grace.
II 1t is not optional, it may certainly
be ornamental The fact that a
thing or trait is demanded by the
moral law does not render the sacri-
Ace Of that thing or the exhibition
ST that trait any the less noble or
lovely. The grace of gratitude in
particular is a peculiarly lovely yfr,
tue. There is even, we may say, an
aesthetic quality to thankfulness.
praise is comely for the upright"

SAID the PsaImIst, VINO was an au-
thority on the beauty of holiness.
Even the world appreciates the aes-
thetic value of gratitude-as well as
its earning power, acquisitive of fu-
ture favors, as a practical asset of
life-and poets in all ages have sung
of the charm Of grateful spirit, the
nobility Of a responsive nature. Even

much more richly endowed and
blessed, should do at least as much,
and express his Thank you'll" both
by the testimony of the lips and the
generous actions of the life.
Thanksgiving day is a proper and
convenient occasion for considering
both the duty and the grace of graft
tude to the great Giver of all good.
But Thanksgiving day is not simply
for the abstract discussion of general
ideas present in thought or stirring
the emotions. This day does-or
should-have a direct governing re-
lation to the ministries of the hand
and the unfolding of the wallet. a..
When it is celebrated in the spirit cs
the scriptural exhortation to thank
fulness. II becomes a time of rejoic-
ing in the truest, fullest sense, be-
cause 1t joins praise to God with prac-
teal ministry to the poor and unfor-
tunate. Thanksgiving should issue
In, Thanksgiving. Praise should be-
come practice. Gratitude must be-
come temper and tendency of the
life. So will God be glorified and
gratified, and men, by their cordial
and constant recognition Of his good
ness, be lifted in the scale Of being
and be the better fitted to receive
from heaven more favors still.-Rev.

LAWSON IS LATEST
ADDITION TO TEAM
Cincinnati Man Will Cover
One Section of Outfield
For Kenney.

The vacancy in the Richmond base
ball lineup that has been bothering
Manager kenney for some time has
been filled, according to a letter from
the leader OF the Quaker team. "Cy'
Lawson, who halls from Cincy, is the
latest addition to the Richmond ma
chine. Lawson will cover a section of
Garden at the local park
Lawson has worked up quite a rep
around this section of the bush. Cy
is recognized as one of the best field
ers in and about the Ohio metropolis,
and is expected to strengthen the local
nine considerably. Lawson could be
in the big circuits if it were not for
the fact that his chief failing happens
to be a desire to be free from a bind
ing contract.
With the addition Of this latest re-
cruit, the Outf1eld of the Richmond
team looks strong. Merkle and Shep-
pard, who will cover the other stands
in the field are both fieldeTs of known
quantity. Merkle played on the Rich
mond team last season and proved
satisfactory, Will Sheppard held down
fielding job on the Covington team
that proven to be the fastest seen
here last summer.

SCHOOLS BASEBALL
TEAM TO PRACTICE
AT ATHLETIC PARK

All high school baseball games will
be played at Athletic park hereafter.
This was the decision of the directors
of the Richmond Baseball association
at their meeting last night. COM
munication from Manager Draper says
that practice games would be held
between the Middleborough team and
the high school nine next month.
The practice of holding high school
games at the playground in years
past has been unsatisfactory. AL
thought the diamond there is in fair
condition, the grounds are in no way
as capable of staging fast play as at
the ball park. Trouble in the way of
admission to the play grounds has al
ways occurred.
The matter of practice games with
the marlborough nine is satisfac-
tory to the members of the high
school nine. By this means the local
boys will have the advantage of work
ing with men who have had expert
ence in the game for years The prac-
tice games will start as soon as ORA
per and his men reach the city, which
will be some time about the first of
April.

CLUB To ENTERTAIN
.SEM|-PRO MANAGERS
Baseball Men Discuss Plans
For Meeting Here on April
5.

Plans for the entertainment of the
visiting managers of semi-pro teams
that will meet here April 5, were dis
cussed at the meeting of the directors
Of the Richmond Baseball club last
night
No committees were appointed at
the meeting but the men who will
have charge of the different lines of
work will be named soon. Inasmuch
as baseball men of approximately
twenty-five different teams will be
here for the meeting, the local club
hackers plan to show the visitors real
Quaker hospitality.
The matter of advertising was
taken up at the meeting. The direc-
tors have decided to use the large
colored Autographs that are used in
the larger cities. The lithos are in
the form of a poster and represent
prominent stars of the game. The
posters are done in many colors and
are attractive.
The question as to whether or not
the park should be turned over to the
Eagles lodge for their carnival was
taken up. The carnival would be held
the latter part of May, at the time
the baseball season would be in full
swing and it is thought that the shows
would interfere with the playing of
scheduled games. The club, however,
has the matter under consideration.
