Thanksgiving

From the time of the landing of
the Pilgrim Fathers, Americans
have been accustomed to set
aside one day in the year wherein
to review the past year and take stock
of the dealings of Providence with us
as a people.
What was at first the spontaneous
expression of grateful hearts soon he
came fixed. a custom, and as the
years sped this custom became fixed,
until today it assumes the sacrednesS
Of permanent institution.
This season is again with us. The
fruits of the broad acres of our fair
domain have been garnered in. The
warehouses; and granerieS are fairly
bursting with their contents and pros
perity sets guest at almost every fire
side.
Our President and the governors OF
the various states have designated the
dav on which the people shall express
to bountiful Creator their gratitude
for these blessings.
And to the many positive and mat
erial blessings which have been ours,
there is added on this occasion the es-
pecial blessing that we as people have
escaped the madness that has fallen
as blight upon our neighborS and
kinSmen across the waters. The mag
nitude of that blessing we cannot al
this time begin to estimate.
But while we have these palpable
blessings for which to be thankful,
we have other things for which to ex.
press our gratitude, and these antedate
and underlie our present happiness
and prosperity our peace and safety.
We have to be thankful that back in
the days when our nation was being
born, land of heroes, than whom
the world has never produced greater
had impression upon their hearts to
lay the foundations of that
nation upon the only possible
true and lasting base-the Father
hood of an omnipotent God and the
brotherhood of man.
And over and above all else, we
have to be thankful that meocifuI
God has so moulded the hearts and
lives of tee people of this nation that
we are enabled to look above and be
yond self and see for ourselves the
great principles of eternal truth and
Justice that must ultimately rule the
whole earth; that we are enabled to
grasp the truth that an injury to our
selves, and that kindness to our
follows calls down a benedietion up
on our own heads.
So that the one supreme blessing
for which we should at this season
return thanks, is the fact thar oul
God has enabled us as a people tC
to know and to do the Right.
And let our prayer be. that il may
ever be thus with this people.

HANS WAGNER
Adds Another Record to His
Long List of Notable
Achievements.

Although Honus Wagner is one Of
the oldest of the active professional
baseball clan, having Just celebrated
his forty-second birthday, he Is still
making records. With three other
members OF the Pittshurg team he
claims to be the first to start train
ing for the 1916 season. Late last
month. during a thaw spell. Wagner
met 0uttielder Hinchman. Pitcher Ma
naux, and Manager Callahan at the
club office. The spring like weather
caused the talk to turn toward base
ball play and the upshot was that the
quartet slipped out to Forbes field and
INDUCED in short session in batting
and throwing. Wagner states that
this is the earliest date that he has
ever begun training in his many years
in the big leagues.
