Regarding this years change in
the Thanksgiving date, by proclama-
tion of President Roosevelt, a West
Virginia merchant advertised the
other day with this sign: Better do
your shopping early this year; who
knows but what tomorrow may be
Christmasm
Mountain Lake Parks mayor is
some fence straddler. He issues a
Thanksgiving declaration in which he
praises President Roosevelt and Gov
ernor O'Conor for making the day on
Thursday, November %, which he de-
clares enables the merchants to have
longer period of Christmas shopping,
and then turns right around and in
sists that he will stand by the tradi-
lions of Abraham Lincoln and make
Thanksgiving at Mountain Lake Park
on Thursday, November 80, because
the Park has no specific business that
would profit by the extra week inter-
vening prior to Christmas.
The mayor of Redwood, West Va.
has decreed that on Thursday, No
vember %, only ROSTERS shall be eaten
in his town on Roosevelt's Thanksgiv-
ing, while the real turkey day will be
on Thursday, November 30.
When you come right down to the
point of the whole matter, it doesn't
make any difference when a person
gives thanks, just so he does give
thanks, and gives thanks to the proper
One. "Render unto God the things that
are Gods" said the Saviour when he
was being tested by the Pharisees.
But it does get under our skin the
way the President wants to NEEDLE in
everything. Business men never hol-
Tered before about when Thanksgiving
came. They always accepted it when
it came and prepared for Christmas
when the day was over.
If the truth were out we'd all real
ize that the President can't stand to be
in obscurity. He wants the eternal
spotlight, and when he doesn't ge+

half a million dollars from wealthy
litigants before his court, his case
stands out because such situations
are rare. But we do have them.
There was the case many years
ago of the member of the Wash

wrote the majority opinion in an
important case involving a rail-
road. The decision favored the
railroad, and the matter would

has completed Is years of service
in Tacoma during which they have
ministered to thousands of people,
as many af 1900 different people
working at some time during the
year. The number was considerably
less the last year due to the fact
that few jobs were open to the
workers outside the Goodwill Hun
dreds of people could secure no
employment there because there
was not material enough on which
they could work. The record. how
ever, is the best for years. 1t

in wages. The thing the Goodwill
tries to do is to make a payroll
and to find Jobs for people. not
only for those who have learned
new trades at the Goodwill. but
who place their names in the Good

The need at the present time is
more salvage as well as to have
more people visit the Goodwill

from the sales of material in the
Goodwill stores goes to pay the
workers in the Goodwill shops.

| SOCRATES, Shakespeare, Sir
Walter Raleigh, George Wash

Franklin-what a laugh they must
be getting as they look back upon
+ this earth and observe how the
names of many, good citizens
are being added to the sucker list

think they can beat the age-old
/ principle that honesty is the best

of the Imagination this illustrious
group can be pictured ehuckling
as they see how we try to beat
that principle.
Shakespeare, wise In the
ways of his world. frequently
/ emphasized the comforts and
security of honesty and the
trouble that comes from de-
parting from that principle.
He might have taken his cue
from Socrates, who observed
that the shortest and surest
way to live with honor, Is to
he in reality what we appear

Sir Walter Raleigh speaking on
the affairs of government, said:
TT would be an unmistakable
advantage. both TO public and pri-
waite, if men would consider that
great truth, that no man is wise
or safe. but he that is honest"
The prayer of George Washing
ton was that he should always
possess firmness and virtue to
maintain the most enviable Of all
titles. the character of an honest
man"

let honesty be as the
breath of thy soul: then shalt
thou reach the point of happi-

Just what was the actual daily
practice OF the eminent gentlemen
who left us these precepts is, of

assumption that the percentage of

 'MORTALS AND IMMORTALS" will be the subject of the Lesson- Sermon.
 The Golden Text is from II Cor inthians 5:l6: "Henceforth know we no man after the flesh"
 Selections from the Bible include the following passages from Job IA: 1, 3: Man that is born of a woman IS of few days, and full of trouble. He cometh forth like . flower, and is cut down: he fleeth also as a shadow, and continueth not"
 Correlative readings from the Christian Science textbook, Science and Health with Key to the Scrip lures" by Mary Baker Eddy, inc clude the following: Human exper- fence in mortal life, which starts from an egg, corresponds with that of Job, when he says, Man that is born of a woman is of few days, and full of trouble Mortals must emerge from this notion of material life as all-in-all. They must peck open their shells with Christian Science, and look outward and upward. Tn Science we are children of God ; but whatever is of material sense, or mortal, belongs not to His chil- dren, for materiality is the inverted image of spirituality" (p. 552:l3-l9, D. 572:0).

ARMISTICE DAY, 1889

The world waits for the Peace of God; It Is not impotent or lost Along the road to No Mans Land Where soldiers sleep beneath the frost. Here, where the sunset lights the sky, The Infinite condemns all strife; The sea-wind blows and seagulls cry, And in mans madness comes new life. Let Youth march on with noble mind And wisdom cleanse mans heart anew: The tyrant falls the same as e'er, And curses justice when he's through. Bring forth an armistice of joy, And break the spears and swords of hell: May friendship join hands with faith, And deck the graves of those that fell. Judas kissed Christ and fled in fear. And brought the world deceit and pain; Remember this. O tribes of men, And peace will come where war has lain.
