SPIRIT OF THANKSGIVING
 SERMON BY DIR. EDMONDS

.4The world is full of things for which all of ps should be thankful. despite the many things on the horizon of the day that try the soul and make it appear that God is forgetful" said Dr. Henry M. Ed monds, pastor of the Independent Pres byterian church, Sunday morning at the Temple Ernanu-El, where he delivered a very instructive sermon pr. Edmonds snoke on the subject of "The Spirit of Jhanksriving," and selected his text from inc 1osth Psalm, third verse "Oh, give thanks unto Jehovah.
 .'rhe spirit of thanksgiving is contem- nlatiye." said pr. Edmonds. "Frequently the only difference between happiness ana 1Juhappiness is our attitude toward sit- uation. One might receive a bundle rom SSod and not be happy because of his or

Scaw ren FIke.

Scaw Fell Pike, Cumberland's
mountain summit, is to be the prop
erty of Englishmen in perpetuity. The
highest hill Of England is the very
noble gift made by Lord Leconfield
to the men of Cumbria who fought in
the war, and as token Of gratitude
to those who gave their lives for the
cause of the worlds liberty. Truly
a gift in the spirit Of Ruskin and one
which causes the Manchester Guard
ian to utter deepest appreciation-a
gift, it says, through which "even we
common people may get momentary
entry into the ecstasies Of the poets
and see the earth and everything in
1t mystically appareled with the glory
and the freshness of a dream" Scaw
Fell Pike has the venerable distinction
Of being among the most ancient
mountains of Europe, outdistancing
the Alps in point Of years.

PROBABLY THOUGHT A LOT
But Really, Under the Circumstances,
There Was Nothing the Actor
Manager Could Say.

The late Oscar Hammerstein, who
had genius for advertising his theat-
rical enterprises, used to tell story
about an English actor-manager's at
tempt to follow his example.
"My conferee," Mr.. Hammerstein
would say. twas having a new thea
ter built in London. Casting about
for some good way to advertise it, he
decided that an admirable scheme
would be to have the workmen while
Wcavating for the foundation come
ACROSS Roman antiquities. So he stole
down to the operation at dead Of night
and deposited a number Of costly, gen.
uine Roman antiquities just below the
surface Of the spot being excavated.
'"The next morning he arrived in
haste to hear the news Of the great
find and report 1t to the journals. See
ing that the men had already dug well
below his hidden treasure, he said:
"'Good morning. foreman. Any
thing interesting this morning?

Boom in Lobsters.

Very extensive lobster catches are
reported of the eastern coast Of Can
ada. Recently the boats were taking
these faster than the factories could
pack them. The catch was divided
over the various canning factories. One
boat, belonging to a well-known fleet,
took as many as 400 fish. A resident
Of Escuminac reports that he put
1900 live Holsters, which he was un-
able to pack at the time, into a boat
which he had transformed into a cage,
and sunk it in order to keep the fish
alive until such time as he could use

Third army championships were de-
eided last season, but the ground at
that time was not in as good con-

ground, a quarter-mile clnder track,
with 22O yard straightaway, and out

part is ring for horse shows and nine

Suitable bleachers to accommodate
4O00 spectators have been built, and
there also are large number Of prop
srly equipped dressing rooms with
showers, rubbing tables and store
rooms.
Not only at Coblenz are there
grounds available for the soldiers, but

Carlson took the crowd off its feet
when he caught Goodale's 30-yard for

ran the rest of the distance for the
first score of the game. Casey then
kicked off to Bloss, who ran the ball
back to Stevens 40-yard line. Goodale
threw another pass to Carlson. who

Tech seemed to weaken under the
strain, and In the second period Wy

went over.
In the third period Lehigh resumed

the ball to the 15-yard line, where a

brought the second touchdown.
Tech stitfened after the second score
and had the ball in Lehigh's territory
