A Glorious Day.

1t was glorious holiday. Every
body who had measure of health and
contentment found it so. 1t was
holiday fit for the sentiment of the dav,
from the heavy boar frost of the early
hours to the last hour in the cycle of
the twentY-four. Such Thanksgiving
Day affords, and this one pre- eminently
did, the setting TOR genuine satisfac-
ton.
Who cared anything about the world
and its wars yesterday? The fuses
that 90 on around the domestic board of
the Old World were not echoed about
the board of Uncle Sam. Here benig-
nancy reigned. And when the people
wended home from the churches
throughout the county they were all in
clined to inter into the grace before
meat with real reverence. The doXol-
ogv was sung in many hearts and the
spirit and praise was in all homes.
There were many social events of the
day and whether they took the form of
outdoor sports or indoor receptions,
they were of the delightful nature that
give comfort and pleasure without
alloy.
So the day has passed, its record has
entered into pleasant recollection and
i1 will be marked as a day of superior
pleasantness whether nationally con-
sidered in the range of blessings or
from the point of view of the comfort

THE PEOPLES FORUM.
Giving.

The blessednesss of giving differs
from the pleasure of it. A real salts
faction follows giving to benevolence.
You feel it is a good thing. A person
with good heart esteems it privilege
to give.
Two ragged urchins met in the street
One had an apple. He was larger and
could have kept the apple if he chose
to do so. But he did not want to be
asked to share with his friend, so he
offered him a bite. AS the small boy S
eyes grew big with expectation, the
big boys heart grew larger with gener-
osity. So he said bite bigger Billy, bite
bigger. That was the true spirit of
charity. The spirit of Christ is take
more. The end and aim of giving is to
make others happy, to glorifY Christ.
1t is natural to give and nature pats US
on the back when we obey her., She is
no robber. but DEGREES that they who
bless others shall be blessed
The fact that Christ gave Himself is
a stimulus to giving. One feels that
his gift makes him kin with his Master
He knows that it is not only the will of
Christ, but it is like Him.
To copy Him is privilege. There is
real happiness in that. There is vast
deal of satisfaction in knowing that
Jesus would be working In the same
line, if He were here to work, as He
used to. Whom do you help when you
feed the poor? Christ. Whom do you
visit when you visit the sick? The
church is helped, missions sustained,
the cause Of right assisted and all for
the Master.
The blessedness of giving is that it is
for and to Christ. The secret of true
giving is in His ''inasmuch" We do it
for His sake. 1t is objected that the
1.-THE is too much.
In the face of dying world, is 1t?

A NEW DEMOCRATIC PROPOSITION
Failing To Raise Revenue The Party
In Power Shifts,

Washington. D. c., Nov 30. ma
tlonal preparedness and national rev.
nues are two problems that go hand in
hand.
the Democratic administration
proposes the one when it has utterly
failed to solve Inc other"
These are conclusions reached by Rep
.resentative Frederick Il. GiIlett of
Massachusetts, ranking minority mem
Der OF the Appropriations Committee.
His statement has greater significance
when it is remembered that for weeks
Mr.. Giilett has been in daily conference
with both Democrats and Republicans
Of the House in an effort to improve the
present system of financing government
appropriations.
The question of revenues is the
most difficult problem the Democratic
party must face when Congress meets"
said Mr. Gillett. Republicans have
always claimed that lack of business
efici sncY was an inherent and newt
able defect in every Democratic ad-
ministration. That theory has been
abundantlY Illustrated since March 4.
1913.
"Dilatoriness. vascillation, change Of
plans and deficits have marked the
Democratic fiscal policy. A constant
excess of expenditures over receipts has
been shown by Treasury statements.
Furthermore, the sudden change in the
firm Of statements adopted on the first
Of October, whether made for that pur-
pose or not, had the effect of prevent
ing easy comparisons and unfairly
swelling the apparent Treasury balance.
Now the Presidents going torecom-
mend enormous appropriations for the
army and navy. The serious problem
will be how to paw them. In the past
Republicans have been allowed no voice
in these matters. Plans have been
formulated by a Democratic sub,com
mittee, endorsed by a Democratic
caucus, and passed by a Democratic
majority kept SOLID by the pressure of
party tyranny and administration pat
ronage.
whether the same system will pre-
vail in the coming session will depend,
| suppose, upon the harmony in the
Democratic ranks and the necessities
Of the administration. At all events |
think the funds Necessary Cor the pro-
gram should be raised by taxation and
not by the sale of bonds. The proposed
expenditures for national defense should
not be shifted on to our successors, but
should be paid from current revenues.
This involves cutting off our Injuries
| and pruning down our necessities on the
one hand, and increasing our income on
the other.
1t involves surveying the field from
business and not from a political or
sectional viewpoint and that is where
fear Democratic failure. Unless the
party can meet the situation with better
business foresight and efficiency than
it has so far displayed, thecurrent drift
toward the Republican party will be-
come a landslide"

away the spontanclty of giving, where
as God loves a cheerful giver.
Both the amount and the spirit of
giving must be scriptural. If it is His
law to give one tenth, to fall below is
unscriptural and SO a coveteous spirit is
no excuse for one who falls below.
We are not under law, says one. Are
christians exempt from natural law or
from the moral laws of God? If We
walk over a preceipice We'll be hurt.
If man uses steam he must comply
with the laws that regulate and control
it. Can a christian covet and be blame
less; or steal and be sinless, or murder
and be faultless? His guilt is even
greater.
The standard of righteousness was
advanced under Christ. More Is requir-
ed Of US than of those who know not
Christ.
We are under the law as a standard
of Righteousness, but not under its re-
wards and penalties as motive of
obedience.
The love of Christ is our motive.
However it is not a Mosaic law, and
so abolished by Christ any more than
the Sabbath. Abraham paid to this
hundreds of years before Moses. So
did Jacob and the patriarchs, so did the
early church and the church fattens.
They and the early church councils re-
cognized the obligation of teaching. 1t
was thus until the dark ages, when the
usages of the church were alienated and
prevented.
1t is further objected that it is i'm
possible to do this on the farm. That
is not so hard-It is all money received
for products. Cash value of what the
family uses, and cash value Of what you
get by barter or exchange. Deduct
what you pay for hired help and for in
terest on any balance due on your farm.
All income of a professional man is
his net income. All income of working
manis his.
If in business. deduct business ex-
penses, which are not personal or for
the family. Should l deduct insurance?
If it is on your goods or stock IN bust
ness YES, but not on property. Should
l deduct taxes, no; house rent? yes if it
is in your business, not otherwise Sup
pose the farm increases in value. Take
no account of it until you sell, then
1.-THE what you receive.
If you exchange farm products for
articles, estimate the cash value of
what you receive.
1.-THE only our income, not capital.
But one claims he gives now until he
feels it. Then give until you don't
feel it.
Some however are close and closer
and others more generous by nature.
Tlthing is the only standard that has
ever stood the test or proved salts
factory. 1t is the minimum Many a
man who is systematic in his business,
ignores system in his offerings for
benevolence. If men conducted their
business as they do the Lords they
would be bankrupt in year. The curse
of the church is her hap-hazard way of
giving.
Tithing is emphasized in the Bible and
should be preached and practiced.

Up the rough road | come,
Over the darkling field
Through leafless trees revealed,

AS those bright easements glow
Warm in the dark, l know
What word it is they send
Sheltering walls await
Him who comes, dark and late,
Safe to his journeys end.

Feet on that far-lit track,
Though they be chilled and numb,
That place alone is mine.

Those are the lights of home.

CARS RUN
ON P. R. R. MAIN LINE
Break in Cable Prevents Complete
Official Test Yesterday; Record
Fifty Miles an Hour

A break in the mechanism control
ling the current interrupted the first
test of the new electrified road of the
Philadelphia Division of the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad.
Before the break occurred a train
of electric cars had been successfully
run from Bryn Mawr to Overlook and
return, carrying a large number of
railroad engineers and officials, who
expressed themselves as well pleased
with the manner in which the train
operated. Numerous tests were made
and everything was found to be satis-
factory, so far as the cars were con-
cerned.
As the train was about to make
another trip, the power was suddenly
shut OFF The feed wires became dead
and the officials could not understand
what was the matter. Linemen were
dispatched and discovered a break in
the feed wires below Bryn Mawr They
announced that it could be repaired in
an hour. but the guests of the railroad
could not wait, so the tests were de-
clared Off for the day.
The first run over the road was de-
clared by the engineers to have been
great success, meeting their high
est expectations. The train gave eX-
nibitions of its speed. showing that it
could run easily at 30 miles an hour
and stop very suddenly. Tests in
stopping and starting were made at
points along the line, and there was
not a hitch.
