TIIE FIRST THANKSGIVING.
Yes, even among all their sorrows
and troubles the pilgrim fathers had
many, many blessings surrounding
them on that first Thanksgiving day.
And it is to catalogue sonic of their
ancient blessings, as well as sonie
of the multitudinous blesdings of our
own time, that I preach this ser-
mon.
a The 'pilgrim fathers rejoiced in re-
ligious liberty. They rejeiced that
they could not only worship Christ
in their own way and according to
their own belief, but also because as
Congregationalists Limycould select
their ONVa pastors and elders and
deaconri and have their own kind of
church government. It was in order
to win this religious liberty that the
little band of pilgrims first endured
the persecutions in the village of
Serbohy, England. It was to win
this kind of religious liberty that in
3 600 they emigrated from the Eng-
lish shores and became exiles in Am-
sterdam, it was in order to win
this religious liberty that the little
band of pilgrims in 1610 broke
away Seem Amsterdam and, under
their pastor, the honeys John Rob-
inson, went to Leyden, and it was in
order to win this religious liberty
that the immortal 102 passengers of
the Mayflower finally crossed the
seas and emigrated to a. new and
unknown world. Religious liberty
means more then life and comfort
anti money to strong, consecrated
men. It means their combined tem-
poral and spiritual existence. It
means so much thnt, telugh one-
third of thatarnemerable eligrine band
died the fleet month after they' had
landed upon the American shores and
though all at one time were helpless
on nceount of sickness except seven
men and women, yet when the time
cnnie for the eeiling.of tho Mayflow-
er back to England net ono of the
survivors would retura to their old
home, even though Governor John
Carver and the company were ready
to let any one go who would. The
spirit which led to the descendants
ei the pilgrim fathers a century mid
a half later to shed their blood at
Concord and Lexington and Bunker
lfill to peeve that "taxation with-
out representation was wrong and
meet not exist" was that mune spir-
it which made the pilgrim fathers on
America's first Thanksgiving day re-
joice in religious libeety. They
thanked God for religious liberty,
even though the dead sleeping upon
Buitinl hill outnumbered the

erty, even though, to protect, it, they

LESSON 01? THE PILGRIMS.
My friend; there ought to 'ae.
lesson for you in tilimpilgrira fath-
ers' gratitude to God ,for the Sup -
Plying of their, temporal %emits. You
IIMY not be a millionaire. 'You may
not have a big bank account or en-
oughmoney to keep you in ease if
you ceased to work; but, lihe the
pilgrim fathers of old, you can thank
God that you have a home in which
to live, no matter how humble that
home may be. You can thaek God
that you have enough clothes to keep
you warm and enough good, plain,
wholesome food to eat. 'But, al-
though ie few of us may thank God
inerely for the bare necessarie-s, most
of us can thank him for the luxuries
as well. Our national prosperity
was never as great as to -day. If we
were to creme the seas and recount
to the inhabitants of any other land
all the tereppral bleseings with
which we are .surrounded, those for-
eign inhabitantswould not believe
the Utopian stories we would tell
them.
THE PREED014 PROM SIN..
The pilgrim fathers rejoiced be-
cause they had removed their cbil-
dren frorn the sinful temptations of
O foreign land. They themselves
were men and women of sterling a.nd
unimpeachable integrity. They were
just as willing to .lay down their
liven as martyrs for Jesus Christ, in
Leyden in 1620, as were their three
fellow townsmen, Henry Barrows,
John Greenwood and John Penry,
who, in 1603, laid down their lives
In England ; but, though tho pil-
grim fathers might be ready to die
for Christ, their undeveloped chil-
dren, on account probably of the in-
fluence of their foreign surroundiegs,
were not always of the same mind.
Taking °lir little children's faces
between our two hands and looking
lovingly and earnestly into in
depths of their pure eyes, Can 317

they aro liviag ie Christian com-
munities where human affections are
held sacred and where perity ire not

ed, as of old, by a, few vestal vir-

thani God that Our children are not
breathing the morally depraved at-
mosphere of some less fortunate
land whose daughters are sold like
chattels, never even seeing nuptial
day, and ether° a wife is regarded as
disgracing a family when She 'be-
comes the mother of 0 daughter in-
etead of a son ?

'MEETING LOVED ONES.
The pilgrim fathers rejoiced in the
hope that they should seen. be re-
united , with • their loved ones who
were id 1' behind in :Le-yden. 'rho
whole community Of pilgrims; which
M. 1610 settled in Leyden did not
cross the Atlantic in 1620, as many
people suppose. No. Only a email
part -3 20 men, women and children
came fleet. 'The vast majority of
that community, remained behind.
And so these American pilgrims on
Plymouth's first Thanksgiving day
were living in the hope that John
Robinson and the absent members of
his spiritual flock would emon be by
their side. They did not then know
that death would first claim their
beloe-ed pastor and that his bones
would be buried in the little chuech-
yard width his,preaching has made
world finnous and which is to -clay
the MCCea of many. a pilgrim. They
did not reelize that most of their
earthly friends would never MOM,
beside the waters of the new world.
But they did know, and they re-
joiced in the knowledge, that, whe-
ther at the foot of Plymouth rock
or at •the foot of thegreat white
throne of God, they would meet
again, And if they did not meet
again until they were reenited III
that better land, then they would

Text of the Lesson, I Sam. iii.,

iii., 9.
1. And the child Samuel minister-
ed unto the Lord. before 11)11,
See the same statement with an
addition in chapter ii, 18, and noto
that children may minister to the
Lord, and no Priest is called to
anything greater (1I Chron. xxix,
11), but every holievele being a
priest (X Pet. ii, 9), is expected to
Stand before the Lord, to serve lUim,
to minister unto Him and offer sac-
rifice. R. is said that the word of
the Lord was precious (or rare, R.
V., margin) in those days. There
was no frequent vision, and yet hese
is a most important message given
to a little child.
2-5. The Lord called Samuel, and
he said Itere am I.
Then he ran to Eli thinking that
Eli had called him, and Eli told
him to lio down :Again, not thinking
thee, possibly the Lord had spoken.
Eli •was not only physically infirm,
but he was out of fellowship • with
God in some measure because of the
inigeity that was in his housebold.
This should lead us to consider moot
prayerfully if there is anything in
our hearts or homes that may pre-
vent us from hearing the voice of
the I,ord.
6. And the Lord called yet again,
Samuel, and Samuel arose and went
to Eli and said, Here am I, for
thou didst call me.
And for the mead. time Eli told
him to lie down and did not seem
to think that the Lord had perhaps
called 311111. How often has the
Lord called us and we did not know
or recognize His voice 1 His

speaks to us throegh His word,
sometimes apart from it, but never

POI/ NEW WIliES,
An easy wa,y of washing up dishes
Is to lia,ve plenty of water and two
big bowls. 'Having scraped the
plates and dishes fairly clean, they
eliould be placed in a bowl of very
het water ana erode, briskly wiped
over with a ision.-a 'small one kept
for the purpose -then plunged into
the bowl of clear cold water, wiped
dry, and placed ip stlie rack or 031
the dresser.
There should be ewe .or three wip-
ing -cloths, as a dan:ep one leaves
smears. Knives should be put into a
jug of het water which covers the
blades and not the handlee, and
after a rinsing they should be wiped
and cleaned. •
Another couple of bowls -one of
hot and one of cold water -will be
wanted for the glasses, and the silver
cart afterwards be washed in tho
same hot water, dried, and just
rubbed with a leather.
As a flnel touch, when the kitchen
has been made quite tidy, wash out
the cloths in hot water and hang
them to dry. After clearing away
the midday nice] and cleaning up,
the housewife should take a jug of
hot water to • the bathroom, and
with this and some good soap tiler -
uglily wash her hands. After drying
thein on a soft towel, rub them with
a little glycerine and rosewater, and
then no traces of household work
can Ile seen.
ANKLES MUST TIE WARM.
Doctors say that cold ankles kill
131020 women than nerves and disease
eogether. This may 130 an exaggera-
tion but it ie not too much to say
that when theankles are well pro-
tected and .kept warm their owners
are not likely to.suffer from cold.
Stock breeders say that colds can
Le borne by animals only at an ex-
pense of fat or muscle or warm
vitality, and so it is with women,
said. a shoe dealer recently, and yet
they persist i111 wearing thin stock-
ings and thin low quartered shoes
long after the eummer has paseed.
But they are improving in this re.
spect, as well as in every other as
time goes by. Ten years ago we
sold as many low shoes in. 'winter. -
shoes with an excuse for a, sole -as
we. did in summer. Not, so now.
When a woman wanes in and buys a
pair of low shoos in the cold season
for outdoor weasiwe know that she
is one of two thiugs-vain or silly.

and hardships he succeeded in rertehe

years to accomplish 11114 self -appoints.
ed task, He stnyed in the Holy
City for eighteen daps, and then re-
turned to Japan about two nionths
ago, About the same time that
Capt. Narita 'visited Lhasa. Er. Eire :
oshi Nomi reached the interior of
Tibet. There has been no 110Wa &elle

ed to be op his May home. ITe 10+ a
very young man, but brave and tool
and quiet in hie ways. Afr, Keikai
Eitwaguchi, the third of the Japan-
ese explorers, had the hardeed, ex-
perience. He Wtat 113/ way of the
Himalaya Mountains, -and sufferea ,a
severe attack of snow blindness, Ho
was totally tilled for some time, but
has entirely recovered teem his moun-
tain disease. Once he WAS mistaken
for a robber by the Tibetans, who

robber on a horse
ANIS THEN SHOOT HIM.
Mr, ICawaguchi, who is a Dueldhiste
priest, at last succeeded in reaching
Lassa, a3131. 15 still residing in that
city.
These achievements, remarkable in
themselves, aro significant in another
way. In th.e erst place they ehow
the tremendous energy and indomilw.
ble daring of the Japanese. It will
be found in the case of otters who
have tried to reach Lassa, that they
were men who had fltted themselves
by long study and experience for the
attempt, and who made the final ef-
fort -under the most favorable con-
ditions possible. All of them, with
one or two rare exceptions, failed la-
mentably. Missionaries., who have
won the coruldenee of the Tibetans,
and who had learned their language,
failed to penetrate even 110 tbe the
vicinity of the sacred city. Some
succeeded ih getting within a day's
march, and were tortented or turned
back or killed. Evee the most ac-
complished explorer of modern times,
Sven Hedin, -the incomparable
Swede, who had fitted himself for his
work by years of study and travel
could not pass the Tibetan gutteds
that protected the sacred precincts
of Lassa. Yet these Japanese, young
and untried adventurers, with the
exception of Capt. Narita, who pre-
pared for his expedition by living in
China for several months, succeeded
in attaining a goal that has been de-
nied to the most daring and exper-
ienced traveleru in tee world.
But the thief sigmhicance of these
remarkable achievements is the rela-
tion of a new force and energy in
the world of action. It reveals an
awakening in Japan such as oceur-
red in Spain when there dawned em -
on her early greatness and when she
was preparing to send Meth into the
world her explorers and conquerors -
Columbus, Cortez, Pizarro, 3)e Soto,
or in England when Drake and How-
ard and Hawke led the way to the
glories of England on sea and land
and triussformed her into a world -
explorer and
WORLD GONQUE11011.
It reveals the birth of tremendous
nationel energy and an indomitable
national spirit. Japioa is no long-
er a group of islands, a colleotion of
people, but a nation possessed by a,
fiery national spirit. These things
reveal it, just as it was revealed by
the greater things of the war with
Chine, and by 11110 splendid heroism
of her soldiers in the advance on Pe-
kin, and by their inure than splen-
did thivalry and courtesy toward the
conquered Chinese.
We must now look to Jopan for
the Spekes. Burton'
s Magellans,
ingstones, Cooks, Marco Poles. We
find some of these hardy and daring
explorer* penetratbag into portions
of China forbidden to foreigners for
centuries;. WO find more of them Pase-
ing the cordons of Tibetan gua.rds
around Lassa and calmly residieg
within the holy limits of the capital
of Lamaism, unshaken and unfraid,
while the English explorers still end
the Himalaya the bounds of their
explorations from their neighboring
possessions in India; and we may
soon fInd them penetrating to the
North l'ole with the same nonchal-
ance with which they advaneed to
the walls of Tientsin and Pekin tin-
der fire, scaled the walls o/ Ping

According to one ot the papers, the

leading firm of opticianee dechwes
that they are now selling almost
double th4 number of glasses they
were ten years ago. This does not
mean, apparently, that the eyes with

rather, that the envirormumt 301
