I'VE have cause to be thankful for
the great conference on limitation of
ornaments, for the way in which pro-
hibition has weathered the attacks of
its enemies, the promise of ultimate
stabilization in international affairs,
improved industrial conditions, bounti-
full crops, and aside from material evi-
dences of Gods love and blessing vic
tory over sin and pessisism, declared
Rev. w. MCLEAN Work, pastor of the
Reid Memorial Presbyterian church,
in his Thanksgiving sermon to an au-
dience that crowded the First English
church to attend union Thanksgiving
services. Be it instinct or habit,
Thanksgiving, is almost monopoly OF
the religious world" said Rev. Work.
so much so, in fact, that it takes its
place high among the list of Christian
graces and in the Christians life
evolves quickly from the status of a
| duty to the position of one of the rar-
est of privileges.
Think of Arms ParIey.
Perhaps the blessing that would
| first come to the minds of most of US
/ is the great conference upon the limi-
tation of armament which was con-
cluded so gloriously during the pres
ent year A meeting which, unless its
results be wantonly dissipated, will
stand as the greatest step that has
been taken toward universal peace by
any nation or group of nations in the
history of the race. We are thankful
that the conference itself was opened
with prayer for devine guidance by a
Christian minister, that the United
States of America sat down to the con-
ference table asking not one foot OF
land or dollar of money but offering
to give up more than she required any
other nation to do.
I'VE should be thankful as well be
cause of the response given to the
proposals. Before the conference was
+ called the All-American pest known
as the jingo, was telling US that war
was inevitable with Japan or Irish
American friends were carefully fos-
tering a spirit of hate toward Eng
land; France was being pictured to
us as a false friend But since this
great conference even the Hearst
newspapers have been silent on these
subjects.
Prohibition Survives
I'VE have just passed through a year
when every imaginable attack has
been launched against the prohibition
i amendment and the Volstead act The
enemies of prohibition have at no time
handicapped themselves by adhearing
to the truth in making their charges
and manufacturing their statistics
! They have amply demonstrated to any
who may have doubted that the liquor
traffic is to the devil and that its de
: tenders are the very spawn of hell. We
: have had a straw vote on the subjec
conducted by prominent magazine
and conducted with such undoubteC
: discrimination and bias as TO drat
the once honored name of the publ
7 cation into mire. We have had propa
/ ganda ad nauseam and yet the net re
: suit at the recent election was an in
) crease of three in the dry contingen
in the United States senate and a nom
) inal loss in the house. the decisive de
/ feat of the beer and wine bill in Ohio
