THANKSGIVING SERMONETTES
By J. Petty Ezell,
minister, Christian church,

The Bible declares that "every good
and every perfect gift is from above
coming down from the Father OF
light, etc." Jas. Ill. He has and
is demonstrating his wonderful love
to each of us in countless and i'm.
mutable ways and is exercising the
sovereignty of his own rights and
askig the least that even common
courtesy would demand, not consider
ing justice, reason and equity, when
he says unto his children, BE we
thankful" (Col. 3:15.)
And when we consider the fiery
trials unto which this world subjects
us, It's burdens and groanings, it's
sighs, it's heart-aches, it's tears, it's
clouds, its shadows and it storms. we
are thankful to Behold what man
ner of love the Father hath bestowed
upon us that we should be called
children of God" Il Jno. 3:1.) And
if children, then heirs; heirs of God,
and joint heirs with Christ, (Rom. 8:
16) to dwell in his house, his church,
Q Tim. 3:15) with God as our Father,
who is merciful, full of pity and of
tender compassion, (Jas. SID the
Father of Mercies, and God of all
comfort, QI Cor. 1:3) whose throne
is one of grace unto which, with bold
ness, his children may come that we
may receive mercy and find grace to
help us in every time of need" (Heb.
4:16), with Jesus as our great high
priest, who himself was a man of
sorrows ana acquainted with grief,
and therefore can be touched with
the feeling of our infirmities and is
able to succor us when we are tempt
ed and tried. Heb Ais, 2:18.)
With the Holy Spirit to dwell in us
q Cor. 6:19; Eph. 2:22) to bear wit
ness with our spirit that we are
children of God from. 8:16) to help
our infirmities and to make interces-
sion for Us with groanings which can
not be uttered, rom. S:26) having
promise of this life and of that which |
is to come Il Tim. 4:S) with the bles-
sed assurance that whatever comes,
His grace is sufficient for us III Cor. |
l2:9), and that all things work to-
yether for good to them that love
Cod, and who are called according to |
his purpose (Rom. S:2S) is it not
meet that we abound in "Giving thanks
always for all things in the name of
he Lord Jesus Christ, to God, even
he Father" (Eph. 5:20).
'Oh, give thanks unto Jehovah; for
les. Is good; for His loving kindness
,ndureth forever" (Psalms 107:1).

PROCLAMATION
BY THE GOVERNOR

At time when people had infinite.
ly less to be thankful rnan we
have, the custom was established by
our forefathers of setting apart one
day in each year for praise and
thanksgiving.
Conforming to this custom and act
ing in conjunction with the President
of theUnited States, l. A. A. Taylor,
Governor, hereby designate Thursday,
November oath, as a public holiday,
to be devoted to praise and thanks
giving.
The year just now nearing it's end
has been one of industrial depression
and economic difficulty, but after all
as we review it We find it opulent
with good fortune. We are still alive;
our health has been marvelously pre-
served and no overwhelming disaster
has overtaken us. Our harvests have
has generously responded to intelli-
gent cultivation. We have not been
cursed with foreign war, nor dis
tressed with internal discord. We
have enjoyed that perfect security in
life, property and the pursuit of hap
piness which is the crowning glory
of our political system. Let us, on
that sacred day, in our homes,
churches and schools, give thanks to
almighty God for the manifold bless
ings He has showered upon us, for
our ample harvests, our freedom
from epidemics, serious strife and
other calamities Within our borders.
Ever holding in grateful remembrance
all these mercies and many more
unexpressed, let us face the future
with a broader vision and a clearer
faith, appreciating in the fullest sense
the great opportunities and RESPONSE
bilities awaiting us as state and a
nation, and let us dedicate ourselves
afresh to wholehearted, unselfish and
consecrated service.
Given under my hand and the Great
Seal Of the State of Tennessee, at
this the Seventeenth. day
of November, 1921.

ARbIISTICE DAY IN WASHINGTON

college boy enthusiasm for Woodrow
| Wilson, Mrs. Wilson, and the League
of Nations" and all up and down
the streets, hundreds of people join
ed in. Mr.. Wilson did not attempt
to speak, but moved his thin, white
hands and smiled his gratitude. This
was three demonstrations given him
in one week, of the faithful love OF
friends and admirers, and the fourth
saw tonight at the Rialto picture
theatre where we saw Palo. Negri in
"One Arabian Night" supplemented
by splendid picture of Armistice
day, when after but small applause
for Pres. Harding and Gen. Pershing,
as they walked by, the entire audi
ence broke into applause when Mr.
and Mrs. Wilson in their carriage ap-
peared; and all this proves that Mr..
Wilson Is greater man in Washing
ton than when he returned from Par
is, and as time passes by, Fame will
lay her laurel wreath upon his brow.
Armistice day concluded with the
lighting up of the jeweled arch with
It's myriads Of colors from jewels and
lights. The arch cost more than
$4,000, and was erected as a well
come for the foreign representatives
at the peace conference, but it was
the only touch of the day could not
enthuse over, as the expenditure of
this money by Congress just now,
when the Soldiers Bonus bill has
been voted down, seems rather in
consistent, and hear many ex-sol-
diers here feel very bitter over it.
Nevertheless, it was beautiful, and
the entire day was one to be stored
in memory's treasure house.
Putnam County herald. (Cookeville, Tenn.) 1903-1922, 1921-11-24
Rev. A. p. Walker.
Pastor, Methodist Church

Thanksgiving Day is day special
ly set apart for the people to come
together in the houses of worship to
praise and give thanks for the abun.
dance of blessings we are receiving
from the hands of God. 1t is a pc.
culiarly fitting and appropriate in
this land of plenty and in this land of
religious and civil liberty, to CRATE
fully remember the source whence
cometh the good things we enjoy.
While other people may be hungry
and without clothes to keep them
warm, we are warmly clad and our
barns ar filled with plenty.
Other lands may be rent with war
and strife and desolation, ours is a
land of peace and contentment. The
spirit of the land we enjoy calls for
thanksgiving and praise.
America is the very synonym OF
liberty, peace and happiness. We
hoist our banner and sound the toe
sin of war for the protection of the
weak and oppressed in order that
they may have freedom, without any
hope or desire for plunder or indem-
nifty. When we shall have secured
peace, liberty and safety for the
weaker nations, those who are being
despoiled, we sheath our sword, stack
our arms and settle down to our
peaceful pursuits.
We should thank God for our
boys who crossed the sea and broke
the Hindenburg line, and came back
with victorious banners, in order that
the world might be safe for honor,
virtue and liberty. All honor to these
noble boys; they are worthy sons of
noble sires. Our homes are full of
such boys because our land is filled
with homes that produce them.
We should thank God for the old
fashioned woman who is equally at
home in parlor or kitchen. Our
homes are what they are because of
such women. It is the woman that
makes the home. There she reigns |
supreme. The man may be the head
Of the home, but the woman is the
neck, and whichever way the neck
turns the head will go.
To-day from all over this blessed
land of ours faces and steps will be
turning to the old home for the an
nual family reunion. To-day all |
hearts beat rapturously with thanks
giving and praise.

OUR UNKNOWN.

They laid him tenderly to rest
In his tomb on Frances blood-stain
ed soil
Around him sleeps the soldiers brave
Who gave up life in wars turmoil
The placid Potomac calmly flows
BY his last great resting place;
The monuments of Washington
And Lincoln will forever face
His tomb, thus honored sleeps
Our soldier brave, unnamed, un-
known,
Until the resurrection day,
When he shall know as he is known.
On earth his memory will live
AS long as rivers gently flow,
AS long as roses bud and bloom,
As long as crimson poppies blow.
