and owns, in a very literal way every
bit of property; that Jehovah was the
God of Israel, Israel the people of
Jehovah; and that Israel was de-
pendenl upon God for everything
for property, for happiness, and for
life itself-and the custom of bring
ing their first fruits as thank Offer
ing shows this national characteristics
These words of David express this
national feeling of gratitude toward
God. and dependency upon Him, and,
gong further. express the conscious
ness of the need to give expression to
this feeling. To have a man arise in
the public congregation and pour out
make an impression. even in these ma
terial days. Too many Christians are
too busy gathering in the blessings of
life to express their gratitude by a tes-
tlmony, and they let the calamity
howers. the pessimists. the groaners
and complainers claim and hold the
public attention
In contrast with this attitude is that
shown by our forefathers who first set
tied this country. 1t is said that once,
in time of great despondency among
the hrst settlers of New England, it
was proposed in one of their public
assemblies to proclaim a fast. An old
farmer arose and. reproving them for
provoking heaven with their COM
plants, reviewed their mercies and
showed them how much they had to
be thankful for. Then he proposed that
instead of appointing a day for fasting,
they should appoint day for thanks
giving. This was accordingly done. and
thus was started a custom which has
become national annual event.
In order to maintain the right atti-
tude toward God and our brother man,
whether as individuals or as an or
ganization Of individuals. political. re-
iigious or ethnic we should count our
many blessings not in comparison
with the blessings of others. but with
the simple gratitude which only sees
the love of the Giver of His gifts,
and we should make our public testi-
mony or declaration of our grateful
ness as witness to others of our sin
cerity

NEWS OF STEELTON
CRAWFORD 'SDEATHCAUSED
BY A FRACTURED SKULL
Tilted Platform and Pluned Down
Steep Roof to Ground, Distance
of About Forty-f Feet

Elmer Crawford, structural iron
worker, employed by the Pennsylvania
Steel Company, was instantly killed
yesterday afternoon when he lost his
balance on seaffold, slid down the
steep roof over the casting house at the
new blast furnace and dropped to the
ground, a distance of nearly forty y-rve
feet, fraeturing his skull.
Crawford was employed in riveting
the metal sheeting forming the roof
over the casting shed. In doing this
work he and another man stood on a
scaffold supported by ropes fastened to
the cone of the roof. When the section
on which the men were working had
been completed, Crawford S companion
descended from the seaffold, while the
former made preparations to change the
swinging platform to another part OF
the roof.
1t was while doing this that one end
of the seaffold tilted, causing the man
10 fall forward and being unable to
grasp anything TO which he could hold.
his body plunged over the roof and to
the ground, his head coming in con-
tact with a railway track hich had
just been laid. He was picked up oy
fellow employees and conveyed TO the
local hospital, but was found TO be dead
before that institution was reached.
Crawford, with his wife and fom
children, resided at Market and Lumber
streets. Highspire.
