Presbyterian Church on Thank
fulness For National Life

Thankfulness for National Life"
was the thee OF the address given by
Rev. w. w. Moore. pastor of the
First NJ. +. church at the Presbyter-
ian church on Thanksgiving evening
He spoke of the great characters and
other elements in history and how
they were a reflection of great ma
} tions. They could not have attained
the place they did had il not been
for the nation of which they were
a part. Abraham grew Ut of Chaldea.
Moses came from Egypt, Judea gave
Christ, the> Greeks produced Ian
guage, and the Roman law and order.
The great men of England and
America are the product of their
civilization. Mr.. Moore said we
should be grateful for the material
basis for our nation for its strategic
position geographically and histori-
cally.
We have reason for gratitude for
the advance of righteousness for the
prohibition of the liquor traffic and
that after a political campaign of
threat and noise there are three
more dry votes in the senate and a
strong dry majority in the House
We can be thankful for abundant
harvests and the joys of home and
life
If sorrows have come these are all
under the shelter of the cross OF
Christ with its ceaseless insistance
that God is love and kindly in all
| His providences.
