ORIGIN OF DAY OF THANKSGlv-
ING IS SUBJECT OF SERMON
Continued from page u

of the psalmi>t. hut who can read them
without the conviction that they embody
for IL am injunction To praise that We
would DO well To heed!
ITO my mind the ideas of praise aud
Thanksgiving are in>cparablv %conioined.
Praise i thanksgiving. and thanksgiving i
praise. We pcru-e the pSalter and dis
cover the oft repeated command, 'Prai~c
Ne the Lord" We dclyc deeper and We find
that the KEYNOTE of the book i IN that
word praise. Sometimes IL %cnioin~ a duty,
again il voices the highest emotions Of the
human heart. This being true tbe inquiry
will naturally arise. WHY must man be-
commanded at all to praise Godn The
command was necessary becausc the most
prevalent sin of humanity i ingratitudc.
We see this truth amply illustrated in
%lsrael'> relations to God. In Psalms LOG
such significant expressions az these oc-
eur: they remembered not the multitude of
thy mercieS: they soon forgat his works !
they soon forgat God their Savior

fine STALLION
HORSE HEAVEN RANCHER PUR-
CHASES HANDSOME YOUNG
SHIRE COLT

Kennewick's draft industry received
a big boost this week when c. E. Nico-
son, of Horse Heaven, returned from
Wilbur with "Lcrd Victor" a hand
some two-year-old registered shire
stallion, which he purchased of the
breeder, G. NJ. Wilson. The colt is
from the same stud and of the same
breeding as Armour Jim" which the
Hamilton Supply company bought of
Mr.. Wilson last year.
When Mr.. Nicoson decided to go in
to the fine horse business right he
started out to purchase the best horse
he could find. He visited many of the
ranchers Of the valley and was so well
pleased with the fine qualities of "Ar-
mour Jim's" colts that he decided to
buy, if possible, q horse of the same
breeding. As a result he has the win
ner Of the blue ribbons at the Inter-
State Fair Of 1914, the blue ribbon
and the purple Junior Champion tro-
ply at the fine stock show in Lewiston
last fall. He thinks he has a better
horse than Hamilton, but Hamilton
thinks otherwise.
The hats Of local farmers and horse
men, however, are of to Hamilton and
Nicoson, who it is conceded are laying
the foundation for one of the most
profitable industries the valley will
ever have.
