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 They thanked .God for religious lib- erty, even though, to protect, it, they had to go to chureb armed. While themain congregation preyed with 'their oyes shut, their sentinels on aril had to pray with their keen, vigilant eyes wide open. So next Thursday, fellow countrymen, let us thank God for religious liberty, TEE PILGRIM FATHERS on America's first 'Thanksgiving day rejOiced because their harvests were ull gathered in. Never did men and 32011100 and children work harder than those sturdy disciples of Christ dmeng the .first ten 1110311illa 01 their enjourn in Ainerica. They were strict*Sabbatarians,, lint, though the pilgrim fathers were strieteobservets of the Lord's day ne a day of rest, they jure: as rigidly' believed that the other six days of 1110 week shoidd be days of hard and exhausting work. They practically worked .all the time except Sunday, and as a. re- eiilt of that first summer's work wo find that those twenty-one men not only built seven -houses and four public buildings, including the tort, but they also cleared much of that rough Nen, England Soil.

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 not be: thankful that both we and they aro liviag ie Christian com- munities where human affections are held sacred and where perity ire not an oddity and practically monopoliz- ed, as of old, by a, few vestal vir- gins vonseerated to lifelong service in a heathen temple ? Can we not 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 there nieet to Part 00 more.

Then next Thanksgiving day after you have helped everybody all round and eater you have thanked God for all your nanny blessings and after you have also worsbipped in Giolje sanc- tuary, in spirit as your pastor, and OE a privileged guest, I want to Borne into your dining room. And, though you may give different parts of the turkey to the different mem- bers of your family, / want you to save 0110 part for me. I want ;ion to Sa.V0 for 1130 the 'wishbone," and as X in spirit come among yoti,thore I want you to take hold of one side of -that wisbbone and let nie take hold of the other. Then as 1 pull and break the wishbone and should I get the larger side I want you to let me make this wish : 'May the many blessings which God bas showered upon you during the last gratitude to him. May the vacant chairs in your dining room teach you that your earthly time is to be very short. Therefore, may you here and now resolve to love your Mas- ter as you have never done before. And in the earthly years that are left to you may you be as faithful in your trust to your home, your wife, your children and to the great world at large as were the pilgrim fathers to the principles which they established." THE Se S. LESSON. INTERNATIONAL LESSON, DEC. 14. • Text of the Lesson, I Sam. iii., 1-14. . Golden Text, I Sam 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.

There should be ewe .or three wip- ing -cloths, as a dan:ep one leaves smears.

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.

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. . KNITTING ROLL.

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 C313310 very near making him pay the penalty, which is in Tibet to put the 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 Yang, or eank the Chinese warships In the harbor of Wei-hai-wei.
