BAPTIST CHURCHES
ARE G|VENP PRAYER
FOR THANKSGIVING
Sent Out by Frederic A. Hay.
ward, City Executive of
Federation.

The following prayer for Thanks
giving has been given out to the
Federated Baptist Churches Of Indi-
annapolis by Frederic Arthur Hay
ward, city executive of the Federat-
ed Baptist Churches Of Indianapo-
lis:
Gracious and Eternal Father:
do thou write upon our hearts
this day the sayings of praise and
by so doing remove from them the
stain of selfishness. Only as Thy
great eternal joy shall possess us
at this season of the year shall this
day and the days following bring
us the happiness we shall desire and
so much need. Insofar as Thou
shall reside within us and thus fur
n1sh us with the evidence Of Thy
spirit shall we understand the art
Of gratitude. With the understand
ing Of Thy residence shall we meet
ably and happily the hour and in it
rejoice. Give us the understanding
that it Is not in the abundance of
earthly possessions that we are glad
but in the knowledge that Thou art
near us and more than willing to
bring peace, which the world cannot
give and cannot take from us. En-
able us to live the larger life;. to Sc
cure the right view of real values;
and to find praise even in the midst
of difficulty and tears if such be our
fortune. Grant US the thankful heart
filed with quiet praise Of Thee and
Thy continual blessing for us all.
1.-THE year passing has brought to
us understanding experiences. We
had thought that only as we pos
sessed things of earthly valug we
find reasons for praise. We had ex'
pected that the increase Of our lands,
the additions of our monies and the
multiplication of our friends would
bring us supreme satisfaction. We
little knew that in the hour of real
test, when sickness came with it's
threatening power these things were
not the essential things in life. We
little understood when financial diff
ficulties Swallowed the day that the
possession or loss of such things did
not preclude our blessing in peace
and restfulness. We failed somehow
to grasp the significance of the sun
shine and the rains that each in it's
own way brought to us new evil
dences of faith and trust. We wanted
to know the overlooking cup of hui
man gifts and we have tested the
dregs, and again been reminded that
even passing through the valley with
it's sharows Thou are with US and
Thy rod comforted and strength
ened us.
1--WE come therefore to Thee in
simple happiness and with thankful
hearts. Teach us to bring adequate
ly praises and songs innumerable
and sweet, full Of sincere joy. We
find Thy blessings awaiting our ac-
ceptance;' Thy merely standing un-
accepted; Thy joy uncalled for; and
Thy unlimited blessings seeking our
wish. Accept, we beseech Thee, this
prayer of praise and in the saying
of it may we find a new peace steal
ing over us reminding us once again
that Thou art, yea, Thou art the re-
ward of them that diligently seek
Thee. Amen"

little shivers it sent racing up her
spine! No one else in the world
could make her feel like that. She
had been toe ill in the hospital to be
rational. Oh, if she had been her
self she could never have done this
thing. i.
But it's done now" she reminded
herself sternly.
She tried to remember all the ar
guments she had presented to Don.
They were as valid as ever. But
they seemed mere discordant jun
BILE of words. Meaningless theories.
And what use had she for theories,
when she had put an impossible
barrier between herself and the only
man she had ever loved?
She began to cry, silently, max
ing no sound. No motion Of her
lips. Her breast hurt as if there
were an inward bleeding.
At last she was in the hotel, ask
ing for her key, soaring up in the
elevator to the floor where she and

real estate office, or at least be free
to see Franklin. She know he loved
her. But if she went to Berlin he
would undoubtedly marry Genevieve.
And four lives would be ruined.
She had given her word. And
Don had fulfilled every condition
she had made. She loathed, a quit
ter. Yet she had begged Don to
marry her and then let him hear
her crying about it the very next
day. Well, she would stay with it.
Even if he did not insist on it. And
if il took her the entire year she
would try to make up for the tears
she had shed.
She slipped out of bed and ran
barefoot, to his door. She listened
for a moment but could hear moth
ing. Then shivering with cold and
her resolution, she knocked. There
was no answer. She softly turned
the knob and went inside.

BROKEN CABLE
TIES UP CARS

Thousands Of Washingtonians due
at their shops and offices at 9
o'clock this morning were delayed
for a half hour when a cable from
the Benning power station to the
high pressure substation of the
Washington Railway and Electric
Co. broke, tying UP the Georgetown,
Mt. Pleasant and Eleventh Street
lines from S:38 to 9:08.
While they were searching Tor
the cause of the trouble, officials
of the railway company arranged
to send buses out to take care OF
the marooned passengers, but before
the buses began to operate, power
was transferred from another cable
to the three lines affected.
Another delay about the same
time occurred on the Fifteenth and
III street line, when an nter.uFban
trolley, bound for Baltimore, got
off the track at New York Avenue
and Twelfth Street. This was soon
remedied however.
