THANKSGIVING.

This is the day especially set
apart for the giving TO God OF
Thinks for all OF the blessings we
have received during the past
twelve mouths. IL Is the dav on
which we should pause long
enough TO realize just how great
these blessings have been and 10
forget the trials which naturally
have come during the passage OF
time.
Union services will be held to-
day in the Polk Street Methodist
church. We are sure that tn,
church will not be able to hold
the vast crowds who will attend
There an added touch OF solemn
~ will be given the occasion.
Since 1864 the President has
set apart one day for the purpose
of giving Enthusiastically the
last Thursday IN November-and
the governors OF states have fol-
lowed in emphasizing the need ior
revereut observance.
The observance OF this custom
should tend to make Us more
thoughtful and more appreciativc
of daily blessings as they are re.
ceived.

"Yes yes. hut surely YOU need

Preaching" again came tn,
answer
Henry Ward Beecher was not a
