But More Especially for the Old
Is the Season of
Thanksgiving.

christmas to the young, Thanks
i giving to the old"
The saying, like most bits Of
folk lore, says the Delineator, has its
roots in common fact of living. Youth
does not tend toward gratitude. 1t Goes
not tend toward .ntrospection. 1t does
not tend toward sense of proportion.
And it is these tendencies that must
unite to make the thankful heart.
Not that young people Go not love
Thanksgiving. They do. And country
children love it more than city chill
dren, and children of servantiess fam
well-to-do. The reason is obvious.
Thanksgiving day to child is Il feast
day, and half the joy Of q feast Is in
its preparation.
What simply reared, country bred
grown-up would give up the memory
Of Thanksgiving day ut hoIne, for all
the present comfort of French cook
and an elaborate MENACE?
First, there was the business Of the
turkey. A turkey was no ordinary.
every Sunday in the winter bird in
those days. Turkey twice a year was
the rule, on Thanksgiving day and
Christmas; on New Years day, goose
or duck.
The turkey was chosen anxiously.
while mother polled it's breastbOne, fa-
their commented on the length and
color OF the pinfeathcrs. The after
noon before Thanksgiving school al
ways "let out" early, in time for broth
er to fly into the kitchen and SINCE
the turkey and for sister to break up
the bread crusts carefully saved for
weeks. Mother stuffed the turkey. Sis
ter threaded the darning needle that
sewed in the stutiing, brother carried
the bird to the cellar to owait to1nor-
rows oven.
Then there were the first cranber-
ries of the season, the first nuts, the
first pumpkin pies.
Thanksgiving day was always cold
and cloudy, and about mid-afternoon,
when one had reached the state Of
coma from overeating, it began to
snow.
Mother always asked schoolteacher
to dinner, and always some bachelor
of the neighborhood. And always some
dear neighbor or friend, or once. grand
mother, and once, little sister, had died
during the year, and one noticed 1t
more than ever at the Thanksgiving
dinner.
After dinner all the women folks and
the girls gathered in the kitchen to
wash dishes, and the men folks and
the boys went out to look at the
stock.
1t is for memories like these that
older people are thankful, for these
and other blessings. For the simple,
homely facts of living; for the oppor-
tunity to serve with hand and mind
those that we love; for happy yester-
days spent with those who loved us
and are gone; for strength to see and
hear and think and work, and for an
occasional, bit. Of leisure in which to
dream; these make our older Thanks
giving day.

Mans Need of Revelation.

The question may arise in some
minds, Does man need a revelation from
God? We must answer yes. by all
means, he does. But what do we mean
by Revelation? 1t is the communi-
cation of truth to the mind. that could
not otherwise be discovered.
Rationalists-Th who get their
religious opinions from reason or the
understanding, as opposed to revela-
ton. As a system it makes rational
power the ultimate test Of truth.
RationalIsts say no, we do not need
revelation for it is inconsistent with
the nature of God and His revelation
to the world, to suppose that He inter
feres by direct agency the in course of
events.
God having created the world and
endowed His creatures with attributes
and properties has done all that is con-
sistent with His nature. He does not
intefere by any immediate agency in
the producing of effects. These they
say belong to the efficiency of second
causes. But they say, admit the meta
physical possibility of such Intervention
tits still morally impossible because
that would imply imperfection in God.
If his work needs supervision, or his
interference. it must be imperfect,
hence God is either deficient in wisdom
or power.
This, however. is against the testi-
mony of our moral nature. We are
conscious of being related to God and
that relation implies that we are con-
stantlY in the presence of God who
takes cognizance of our acts, orders
our circumstances and interposes for
our correction or protection. He is
God not far off but near by, in whom
we live and move and have our being
who counts the very hairs of our head
and who notes the fall of sparrow.
The common consciousness of men is
opposed to the theory that nature is
sufficient. This is evident from the
fact that all nations enlightened and
barbarous- conceive of God as able to
take notice of human affairs and to re-
veal Himself to his creatures.
The argumens from the scriptures,
while it is of no weight to the Ration
alists, is convincing to the Christian.
The God of the Bible is everywhere
present with His works and acts upon
them when, where and as He pleases.
But while the teachings of natural
theology are trust worthy, they are not
sufficient. They appeal to the Imagi-
nation, exciting wonder, awe and re-
veal the being, wisdom and power of
God, yet tie knowledge derived from

legal title more than fquatter's right,
until some years after the Revolutionary
War when order began to be restored.
Some one, who occupied the land at the
time, laid warrant on the same, and
obtained patent from the State of
Maryland for a tract of land called
"Grimm's Point" being on both sides
of the Yough river, and containing some
300 acres of land.
About the year 1874, the Grimm's
Point farm was owned by one Jacob
Spicher, who at that time made trans
fer of the same to Andrew and Joshua
Friend, my grandfather and my father.
The land was at once divided into
three farms, my father and my uncle
Jonathan occupying the farms on the
west side of the river, and Coleman
Friend occupying the east side.
The old Grimm home fell to the por-
ton of Joshua M. Friend who was a
young married man with one child, my
elder brother. And there in log house
which stood on the site of the old Grimm
cabin, and by that same spring these
eyes of mine first saw the light of day,
on the morning of the 18th of March,
lS47, and there spent the years of my
early life, Many time have picked
the chestnuts that grew and ripened uD-
on that same old chestnut tree that
stood by the side of the lower spring."
and which was pointed out as the scene
of Grimm's and Lapinton's scene with
the huge panther.
And as, has been observed. Truth
is more wonderful than fictin," l now
have special treat for the reader and
with this will close.
In my boyhood days there were still
to be found wolves and panthers, and
bears in the dense woods around US,
and about the years 1860 1863 there was
a pair of big gray wolves that infested
the cove, near where the lumber town
of Kendall was afterward built, and in
the winter time they were known to
Kill great many sheep for different
farmers in reach of the place and those
animals were so cunning that they
never could be caught. Now comes
the interesting part of my story.
On the Ord of May, 1868, when l was
Is years old. was out with my gun in
that part of the woods. 1t was Satur-
day afternoon of beautiful sunlit day,
when after a continuous barking of my
dog, | came mp to where he was, and
found him on the sunny side of that
very identical 'Lapinton's Rock glee-
fully barking over nest of five young
wolves which he and | succeeded in
killing without one of them getting
away. For this days work | was re-
warded by the State of Maryland with
500 90 which my father obtained in
cash the following July. Would any
body for moment wonder that | for
one will never forget the old Lapinton
Rock?

Nail Reaches Oakland By Freight.
Yours truly,
JOHANNES.

To the Editor of The Repu 5lican.
We often read of and hear of the
constant coming of newlwords to meet
new conditions which if compiled to-
gether would no doubt make quite
long list within very short while and
after hearing the term freight mail"
used upon our streets on numerous &C.
casions we were very much surprised
to find that to Oakland evidently be-
longs the distinction of adding a new
phrase to the already lengthy list.
The explanation it-seems is this:
After the arrival of mail train during
the day time it has been the custom at
the post Office to close the windows
until all of the mail received from that
train has been distributed to the boxes
but because our people find mail in their
boxes at all hours of the day when
they have visited, them once or more
times since the last regular mail train
came IN they have evidently come to
the conclusion that the only way it
could arrive is by freight therefore the
expression freight MALI or mail by
freight" which e-hears jocularly used
so frequently.

His works would not lead fallen men TO
! salvation. The deductions of reason
cannot reveal the fact that any sinner
can be saved, nor the conditions on
which such may be saved.
The Bible refers to the works of
nature as manifestations of the perfec-
ton of God and assert it plainly at the
same time-Psalm 1914; 94:8-1O; Acts
l4:15-17. Paul asserts the clearness of
this revelation in Romans 1:19 q. The
unwritten revelation or the revelation
OF nature while it is trustworthy is not
infallible. O The teaching of God
through the structure of the human
mind is faulty or imperfect by reason
of depravity.
That is to say, sin has so darkened
the intellect that there is no longer the
clear perception of truth that character
ICES the angels and which Adam possess
ed before the fall. Again, sin gives a
bias to the will against the truth. so
that where it is accurately perceived,
there is an effort to get rid of it. That
Is, men know that God is holy, yet they
do not like to retain this knowledge of
Him in their minds, Romans LIS.
Sin also weakens the powers of in
tentlons; vice debihtates the spiritual
and rational faculties by giving strength
to the sensuous natures. 1t is a part
OF the punishment for sin that God
wlthdraws, for time, his common
grace so that there is little or no in
tultive perceptiye of moral truth the
mind is left to sin. Hence they are
given up to uncIeanness, Rom. 1:24, and
to reprobate mind Rom. 1:2S.
An unwritten revelation is not in
fallinle because of the limitations of
the human mind. Natural religion is
no more trustworthy than the human
intellect, but the human intellect can't
be infallible unless preserved from all
error by the extraordinary exertion of
Divine power.
Unwrltten revelation is also made
quate to the needs of man as a sinner.
because 1t does not include those truths
which srelate to redemption. 1t has
nothing concerning mercy. 1t reveals
only stern law, strict justice Paul
says that the wrath, not the compassion
OF God, is taught to men in the work.
lngs of conscience. This is the lack of
all natural religions of mankind. Men
like to talk about comparative religions.
They say that Buddhism and Confucianism
are coordinate with christianity, be-
cause they teach the Golden Rule, and
other principles of Ethics. That proves
nothing. The distinguishing character
of christianity is not that it teaches
sound Ethics, bat that it is the offer of
mercy through a mediator, 1t Is a
radical change of human nature.
Christianity isgospel, pure and simple,
not law, while Buddhism and Conf
cianism so far as they teach truth, are
law, not gospel.
Can they secure forgiveness for sins?
There is no regeneration. no pardon in
any religion save in christianity, hence
we can never admit that it is merly one
among several religions. 1t is an ex-
elusive religion for man, because it is
e--only redemptive religion for him.
1t is evident then if man is to know how
to obtain the forgiveness he so much
needs he must have revelation other
then that in nature.
In our next, we shall consider the
written revelation

JOHANNES.
