PILGRIMS WERE
THANKFUL FOR
SPIRITUAL NEEDS

Something more than an abundant
harvest must have inspired the Pill
grims to observe Americas first
Thanksgiving. For it was not mater.
ial plenty that they had sought in the
New World. On the contrary they
faced the probability of extreme hard
ship in their search for spiritual free
dom and inward peace.
The important fact in the Pilgrams
experience must have been they had
found an approach to the kingdom OF
heaven-'having sought this first
and had realized Jesus promise that
other needful things would be added.
On the tables they spread symbols
of progress; in their guests they may
well have seen the outward manifes-
tation of the peace they had made
with their own consciences: it is re-
corded that the "savages" that came
hidden to the Pilgrims feast outnum-
bered the hosts two to one and made
the board creak with their gifts of
wilderness staples and delicacies.
It is beautiful to think of, in these
trying times-that festival of graft
tude for freedom and friendship earn
ed, and for the signs of divine sup
port in righteous endeavor. We can
sense, as we think of the circum-
stances that led to the first Thanks
giving, what it is that impels man.
kind to such expression Of gratitude.
It is not so much the harvest in fields
as in character, It is not visible
bounty but rather the substance of
things hoped for" It is the discov-
cry by men and women Of the faith
that is in them; which is to say, as
we'll, the faithfulness.
Once again in 1910 peoples who in
sist on spiritual freedom are taking
the risks for it and paying the price
of it with fortitude reminiscent of
Pilgrim bravery. They have set their
faces toward the storm and they will
not turn back. They cover the
breadth of a continent now where
once they could manage only a few
acres; and they cover the island
home which in the seventeenth Gen.
fury bred Pilgrims by scores and in
the twentieth breeds them by tens Of
millions.
Once again in 1910 the thanks are
for something less perishable, more
cherishable, than material wealth or
physical security. Some may give
thanks that they are still beyond the
range of bombers. But more are
thankful to share in a measure the
exaltation of their brothers who
spurn personal safety and comfort
at the current dictated price.
Such peoples, whether they defend
the new home or the old homeland Of

BOY ADOPTS FOOTBALL
TACTICS ON A BURGLAR

Royston King, of Sunnybrook, Bal
timore County, former football sta
at the McDonogh School, used hi
knowledge of football tactics in cap
turing a burglar as the latter wa
fleeing from the King home last Sun
day night. King tackled the culpri
on the porch and the pair fell sever
feet to the ground. The former Nc
Donogh star held his man until police
arrived.
After the prisoner had been lock
ed in a cell in the Towson police sta
ton, he attempted suicide four times
First he used his belt, then his shirt
and on the third try, his pants. Al
he used his various pieces of clothing
they were taken away from him unit
only his underwear remained. He
then took these off and made his
fourth unsuccessful attempt at sui
eide.
After all his clothes had been re-
moved, the prisoner, Frank Henson
colored, kept throwing himself to the
floor and against the walls. Officer
Walter Bergman was bitten and
scratched by the culprit and Officer
Roberts was also scratched when the
two policemen entered the cell in an
effort to quiet the prisoner.
According to Mr.. w. r. King, a
member of a printing firm in Balti-
more bearing his name, he was a.
reused about $3.50 A. M. last Mon
day morning and saw negro ran
sacking the bureau drawers. He yell
ed and the negro fled through hall,
down the steps to porch where
Royston, who had been awakened
when his father yelled, made fly
ing tackle at the negro and held him
until police arrived.
Officers Power and Bergman hand
cuffed their prisoner while Patrol
man Carter went into the King home
to get the story. AS the two Off
GERS were leading their man to the
radio car, he broke loose and Officer
Powers fired into the air. About
fifty feet away the negro became ex-
hausted and fell to the ground. He
then was recaptured and taken to
headquarters in Towson where he
began his suicide attempts and 9TH
er crazy actions.
When the prisoner was fleeing
from the King residence he threw a
pistol at Mr.. King striking him in
the abdomen. The gun was taken
from a bureau drawer. Then in the
tussle with Royston the negro at
tempted to shoot his conqueror with
another gun he pulled from his peck
ct but Royston knocked the gun out
of the culprit's hand just as it went
off.
Mr.. King and his son were cut and
bruised and it was necessary for them
to receive treatment from a doctor.

Pilgrims, sense that it is not merely
an absence of bombs or a presence of
material abundance that orders a
feast of Thanksgiving. Again their
gratitude is for an approach to the
kingdom of heaven that Jesus said
is within you." Again it is for the
same inward peace, the same spiritual
freedom, the same faith and faith
fulness that blessed the Pilgrims on
that first Thanksgiving. - Christian
