THE MORNING OREGONIAN; FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 28, 1902. II CITY GIVES THANK Day is Generally Observed vin Holiday-Spirit. THE CHURCHES HOLD SERVICES CoHgrrcjrations of All Denominations Unite' for "Worship Workers of Every Class Enjoy a Day's Recreation. Thanksgiving as a holiday was more generally observed than usual yesterday. The services in the churches were well attended n.nd the crowd that swarmed over Multnomah Field attested the fact that the average Portlander is only too willing to take a day off and after a leisurely dinner to attend an exciting game and shout so lustily for the home team that he almost convinces himself that he is a boy once more. Most of the business houses were closed and many of them had presented their employes with turkeys that they might better enjoy Thanksgiving. The markets and groceries were open during the forenoon, as was the postofflce. Front street was closed down tight and neither the cackle of a chicken nor the gobble-gobble of a turkey could be heard for the first time in man' weeks. Many of the office men were at work inside, however, and when one was asked why he did not properly celebrate the day, he replied: "Well, you see. I want to get through work so that I can go to the football game." The men employed in the construction work of the street-railway companies were at work all day. A gang of 20 or more men was at work in the morning finishing the concrete foundation for the asphalt pavement at Seventh and Yam hill streets. At the new Welnhard bulld-H Ihg some men were at work yesterday morning hoisting stones eight feet long and weighing' a ton and a half apiece up to the second story for sills for the tiers of double windows which will extend to the top of the building. Men were also at work on the huge beds of mortar. The city oh a whole, however, wore a decidedly holiday aspect, and the flying colors and the tooting flshhorns of the football rooters impressed upon the mind of everyone that the day was truly Thanksgiving. SERVICES IX THE CHURCHES. Day Is Appropriately Observed Union Meeting- at First Christian. Thanksgiving was appropriately cele brated in the Portland churches yesterday by special services, Including sermons and songs suitable to the day, while the In teriors were in many Instances beautifully decorated with flowers, fruity and grains. The horn of plenty, symbolic of pros perity, was much in evidence, and the altars were laden with flowers and small sheaves of wheat. The services were well attended and a number of, particularly ap propriate addresses delivered. Four denominations united yesterday morning in the cervices at the First Chris tian Church. The churches represented were the Grace Methodist Episcopal, the First Congregational, the First Baptls the First Christian and the Immanuel Baptist. Rev. -E. L. House, D. D., preached a suitable sermon on "Our Country." He. took as his text Psalms cxlvil:20, "He hath not dealt so with any nation." Dr. House, in opening his address, spoke of the first Thanksgiving days in the his tory of our country. He then went on to i?a",."We. ouht, to be thankful fortrthe position of our country, its size. Its wealth and Its development. No country could have done as much for us as did England. She gave us (unwillingly to be sure) her language, her courts of law, her religion, her best sons and daughters. The In dian was here for centuries, but there was no improvement. The Spaniards had come, but only to rifle our stores; the Cavalier had settled In Virginia, and the Dutch in New York, the French In Canada, but the great continent was asleep until the Pilgrim came, and he was like the angel of the tresurrection morning, and now behold 'the new heaven and the new earth.' " After giving a glowing ac count of the Puritan and alluding to the fact that many sneer at him, he quoted Macaulay: "No one oneered at the Purl tan who had met him In the halls of de bate, or crossed swords with him upon the embattled field." Continuing the speaker said: "The duty pf this thanksgiving hour is to perpetuate the Pilgrim spirit, to give it a ' new emphasis and power. We have their institutions; we inherit their problems: we carry on thelc work. We should have more of their earnestness in facing our problems. I ohould like to see it shown in dealing fairly and Justly with the matters which make workingmen cry for Justice. I should like to see it In the treatment of the spoilsmen in politics. Our society today needs the tonic of their high ideals, to call It away from Its ex travagances, its hollowness, its oensual isms. Our politicians need their rujreed honesty, to transform1 them from the fight of hawks arid crows over plunder. Our churches need their faith to revive the spirit of Jesus and banish sentences, crit icism, and sectarian bigotries, which paralyze their energies. I ask no man to go back to their doctrines, nor to renew thejr manner pf dress. But I would that we could take as fiTm hold on truth as It comes to us, ao these men did on the truth as It came to them be as honest, as brave, as outspoken; to make religion real and Ideals practical and dally living earnest this would " be to become their true sons and make this a real Thanks giving day." "AMERICA AS A GIAXT." Rev. Mr. Randall Said Mitchell and Roosevelt Are Great Men of Day. Union services were held In Centenary Methodist Church yesterday morning. Second Baptist, First Cumberland Pres byterian, Third Preshyterian and First United Brethren Churches united In the services. Rev. W. B. Holllngshead, W. G. Fisher. Dr. J. J. Dalton and William E. Randall were on the platform. The choir from the Flnst Cumberland Presbyterian Church furnished the music, which was excellent and appropriate. Rev. W. B. Randall, of the Second Baptist Church, delivered an able and optimistic sermon. Among other things Mr. Randall said: "The year has grown golden and old. Harvests are gathered, and we assemble for the new Feast of Tabernacles. "We value our heritage. The morning of our 20th century discloses America as the giant, created and called of God to bear burdeno and solve problems for all humanity. There Is a suggestion in nature, and an Irony in the evolution of history that startles when announced. Men we born, become strong, reach a climax, round out a period, reel into a tomb. Productive Egypt, polished Greece and powerful Rome passed in procession to the graveyard of nations. Shall our nation share the common fate? The con dition and guarantee of permanence lies not In productiveness, polish, or power, but In fulfilling a purpose, big and benev olent, like the heart of God. "Let us 'enter Into his gates with thanksgiving' for our responsibilities. Patriotism and good citizenship are re ligious duties. We have not met our re sponsibilities until the rights of all men aTe respected and corecrved. , The com munity that puts money above morals and manhood, revenue above righteous ness. Is out of harmony, "with .God, Ameri can Ideals and the divine programme. Louis Kossuth, the Hungarian statesman, upon the occasion of his visit toy this country said: 'If shipwreck should ever befall your country, the rock upon which It will split. will be your. devotion to ycur private interests -at the expense of your duty to the state.' The rights: of prop erty are sacred. The rights ot man are paramount. When years have given 'perspective' to. the industrial struggles of 1902, away down in the corner, hiding from the messenger of Justice, the picture will dlscle&j Mr. Baer and his associates. Their censure" is not the possession of wealth but a destitution of fairness. In the foreground of the picture will be two colossal figures, John Mitchell and Theo dore Roosevelt. "I record my protest against the mis anthropy that deems It unfortunate to belong to Adam's Tace, that makes God's best effort at creation a failure, that esti mates life as" a dreary sojourn. Have you experienced thrilllngs cf Joy and, hours of gladness? lias hope kindled in your heart? All that you have enjoyed has come to you here in the midst of this life. Accept all life with thanksgiving. Its discipline for your development, its delights to brighten eomber hours. Blessed experiences! Youth, with sunrise tints; manhood, with tasks and masteries; age, with its. Autumnal glory and matur ing hopes!" A collection of $23 was taken, which will be divided among the charitable institutions. VmOTi OF PRESBYTERIANS. ConKresrntlonn of City CriKe to Wor ship nt First Church. Almost every one of the Presbyterian churches of the city united in the service at the First Church. Rev. A. J. Mont gomery, pastor of the Third Presbyterian, spoke on "Thanksgiving to God a Na tional Duty." His text was Psalms, xvlil: 49: "Therefore, will I give thanks unto Thee, O, Jehovah, among the nations, and will sing praises unto Thy name." He said in part: "The Hebrews had a marvelous past. So have we. They only of the nations of the past had the opportunity to adopt their own constitution. We have had the same opportunity. God greatly favored them. So are we greatly favored. The psalmist proposed personal and national giving of thanks for the mercies of God. So should we do. His giving of thanks was to be made not only at home, but abroad also. Within four years the spirit of the text has begun to be realized by us as a nation. Thanksgiving tp God is not only a National duty, but it is a part of our international mission. "What shall immediately prompt our gratitude to God? Nothing so much as the record of our mercies. We have been spared from such calamities as that which fell upon St. Pierre. Bountiful harvests have rewarded the farmer and agriculturist The serious labor troubles In the anthracite regions are undergoing the process of arbitration, and the feeling seems to be gaining ground that the out come of this strike will be a step toward their prevention and adjustment in the future. We are grateful for the convic tion which seems to be as iwide as our continent that a beter day Is dawning in civil life. Misrule and corruption in state and municipality must give place to righteousness." In closing, Mr. Montgomery said: "But what of our International mission? God called the Jews to be the leaders among the nations in the pure worship of God. David was a man of affairs and a diplomat, as well as a psalmist. He re alized that the sweet attractiveness of a religion In which gratitude to God and praise constantly given were leading ele ments would not bo unheeded by the Gentllish nations. God has given our Na tion a, most wonderful expansion. He has constituted us to be leaders in commerce, invention; art and science, to be the file leaders of civilization. But this Is not His final purpose. It only reveals His wide purposes that all people shall know Him. The Americanization of the world is not .an end in Itself, but only a step toward that higher destiny, the Chrlstlanlzatlon of the world. Toward this goal we shall work, with courage, conviction and con science." OTHER U.MOX SERVICES. East Side Conjrrefrntions Gather for' Worship. Union services were held at the First Universallst Church, East Eighth and East Couch streets, yesterday, with the Unitarians. On the platform were Rev. W. F. Small, Rev. T. L.. Eliot. Rev. W. G. Eliot and Rev. George C. Cressey. After brief Introductory exercises a short addrero was delivered by the pastor. Rev. Mr. Small spoke first on the significance of-Thanksgiving to the Amcrfcan people, basing his remarks on the life of Roger Williams. He declared that the age was one of absolute freedom of thqught and action, and largely through the principles which Roger Williams had introduced in Rhode Island when he settled there. Mr. Small said that Roger Williams introduced the principle that we have the right to disagree. He Intimated that some of the people Tiad not yet learned that all had that right, but were learning1 It. He sought to show that In this country every man and woman has the inherent right to think and act as'they see flt, for which we should be thankful. N Rev. W. G. Eliot spoke along the same line, but more particularly on "Liberty," of which he said the country could not have too much. Rev. T. L. Eliot, D. D., made an Inter esting address. The speaker had once visited an institution in the East for the education of boys and girls In useful arts and crafts. He had found the school even better than anything that had been said of it. A visitor from England to the same institution had said: "It Is an Insti tution with a "soul." Dr. Eliot felt that this exactly describes the glow of pur poseful and loving duty, the spirit of en thusiasm and the joy of labor that ani mated the benefactor and executive head, the teachers and the pupils of Pratt In stitute. He had often been, reminded of this in visiting other institutions only too often by evidence that that wtv? lacking which was so notable In the institution which he had been describing. And so, also, there were homes animated at every point with a spirit of tender love and service, and homes where even with all the fidelities and moralities there was lacking a certain intangible overplus, almost an extravagance of devoted help fulness, that marks the difference between a home that has a ooul and a home that seems lacking In this crowning possibility. "I believe." said Dr. Eliot, "that this difference Is observable in all institutions. it is observable among the nations of the earth. There Is a. sense in which na tlonsi may be -with or without a eoul. The soul of our own beloved country was born with the country, and It Is evident In the ser.vices and sacrifices of our fathers; but, mere nave neen times since tnen.wnen It seemed almost as If our country were soulless. Such Is not the case in the present day. I am devoutly grateful that I have lived to see a period when the Nation's soul was growing and strength ening again. Lfeel that there Is abundant evidence for this conviction." Dr. Eliot closed with an earnest exhor tation. "In the National life, as In the home and other Institutions, In the greatest even aa In the humblest, there should be a continuous and increasing observance of the sacrament of loving and devoted service. The love of God and the love of our fellow,, and the love of one's work. Such love is greater than liberty and greater even than duty." A well attended union service vran held In the Mississippi Avenue Congregational Church. The Central Methodist. Chris tian and Third Baptist Church congrega tions participated. Rev. A. Isson, Rev. E. M. Bliss and Rev. Mr. Strat conducted the services. Music was furnished by a fine ciu&rtet. Rev. E. M. &V.na, Qf the Third Baptist Church, delivered an ablff address on the "General Prosperity of the Country." He held that -for the .past year no nation on tne eann nao, Deen ,. so biassed as the United State In every pos sible line. At the close of the services a collection of about $6 was taken for the Florence Crlttenton Home. Union services were held lri the Grand avenue United Prcnbyterlan Church. The Hassalo-street Congregational and the 'Westminister Presbyterian Churches unit ed in this service. Rev. W. S. Gilbert delivered an excellent sermon. The music was appropriate to Thanksgiving. At the close of the services a -collection for charity was taken. AT TEMPLE BETCI ISRAEL. Di. Stephen S. Wise Preaches on the Hinrher Thantaislvlnpf. Dr. Stephen S.X Wise preached the Thanksgiving sermon at the Temple Beth Israel. The cljoir ?ang two anthems, "Praise Ye," by Verdi, and Schlesinger's "The Lord Is My Strength." Dr. Wise said in part: "Even as there arc two kinds of prayer, the petitionary and the prayer of aspira tion, the former asking for self and the latter the giving of self, so there are two forms of Thanksgiving, the one verbal and the other actual the higher thanks giving being, embodied not In lightly-spoken words, but In Irrefutable achx The higher thanksgiving Is the putting to the highest use of every human opportunity, of every event and circumstance and need In life. Such working out of our destiny" is far from the blind fatalism which ac cepts whatsoever happens as good, for It regards the bestowal of the good as a test of duty, as an opportunity for doing and achieving, whereas touching adversity, it holcVi with the. poet. There Is some soul of. goodness in things evil, "Would we but knowingly distil it out. "The higher thanksgiving addresses it self to him whose lot Is Joyous. What are you making of your joy? Are you putting to the highest uses the bounty which has been vouchsafed to you? And It speaks to him whose heart Is wounded. What Is your sorrow doing fcr you? Are you mnklng the most of your trial? Is your grief sg uplifting, ennobling, trans forming that you can Elvc thanks for correction? "Thanksgiving must token opportunities well and faithfully employed by us, as men and women, as citizens of our coun try, as d!iIples of our religion. Facing the past, we may hope to retrieve the lost by making the most and the- best of the future, which Is before us. As Americans, we must be capable of that higher patriot Ism, that larger material righteousness, which, ecornlng to emulate the . German ambition. 'Deutechland uber Alles, pro claims, 'America for the world! America .with; never against the nations.' As JewB we must live our faith, preaching it by example, spreading it by our practice of its noble and compelling laws. "The higher thanksgiving, while asking much "of us, Imparts -& sense of dependence upon the Author of every blessing, snow ing the self-made and the self-favored to be God-made and God-blessed. Moreover, zb we stand together this day before the AllFather. we come to feel that we are brothers. God does not wl3h us to grovel before Him with gratitude on our Hps, but He wills ' us to stand erect like men, to rise to the full stature of our manhood and to say, 'I will do a man's part In the word.' Let us not think Ignobly of God; lot us not deal Ignobly with ourselves. Let us claim our heritage as men and give thanks, not for what we have, not for what we arc, but for what we may be come." y Jndge Cnples' Address. The Thanksgiving day service at Taylor-Street Methodist Episcopal Church was of a most interesting character. Rev. H. J. Talbott, D. D., conducted the opening exercises. The church choir, di rected bj Professor W H. Boyer, ren dered some excellent music, and ledNthe congregation in several selected hymns. Judge Caples delivered an admirable ad dress on "God's Hand In Our National History." In terse and glowing language, he reviewed the course of events from the discovery of America onward to the close of the Civil War, showing that, through hardship, conflict and suffering, the Na tion has been led to the proud position which it now occupies among the nations. The address was a striking comment upon tho truth that "Righteousness cxalteth a nation." Judge Caples had the close ana Interested attention of the large congre gation, and ' his carefully prepared " dis course made a. deep Impression. At tho opening of the service a- collection was taken for the Patton Home for Old La dles. Among; Other Denominations. Rev. A. A. Morrison, D. D., delivered a Thanksgiving sermon at Trinity Episco pal. Church yesterday morning, and serv ices appropriate tp. the day were also held at St. Mark's Episcopal Church. Rev. John W.

Bounty of. Generous Portland Public Makes General Fensting Possible. The generosity of the people of, Port land enabled the Inmates of the" various charitable institutions to enjoy as g6od a dinner yesterday as falls to the lot of tho ordinary mortal. Thanksgiving Is appreciated nowhere more thoroughly than In the homes for orphan children, and the day was perhaps more truly cele brated In those Institutions than In the families of the well-to-do. The toddlers in the Baby Home could not. of course, understand the ulterior significance of the occasion, but they enjoyed the sump tuous dinner Just th6 same. The older children appreciated the gifts, and as they made terrific Inroads Into the plies of good thlng3. returned thanks, perhaps unconsciously, for tho turkey,' candy, and fruit which had been provided for their enjoyment. FORTY CHILDREN FEASTED. Thanknjilvlng: at Receiving Home of Boys' and- Girl's Aid Society. Forty children sat down to dinner at the Receiving Home of the Boys' and Girls' Aid Society yesterday, and through the kfndness of friends enjoyed .as good a dinner as could be prepared tor them. The menu consisted of roast turkey with dressing, celery, vegetables and mince pie. There was no stint and every child had all the turkey thata little stomach could hold. As usual, talking wa3 al lowed. There being three cases of scar let fever at the' Institution, also' one at SL Vincent's Hospital, It was Impossible t-. InT-lfo triiostd g lirrntnfnrp. ThAtvfore Superintendent Gardner, with the aajlst- tutloh for the reason that the managc nn ct th i.mftlnvM. tvftlted on the chll- i meat has been unable to obtain trucks dren and made the occasion as enjoy able as possible. The sickness of Mrs. M. J. Graham, the matron, also served to cast a gloom over the .Home. In the evening the children were liberally supplied with candy, apples and nuts, and games, such as "Hunt the slipper" and the "family couch," wore played. Altogether the youngsters spent an enjoyable day. Superintendent Gardner -says that the donations from the public, schools bid fair to exceed those of former years. Suburban schools, of which Montavilla Is in the lead, were especially liberal". SIXTY AGED PBOPliE AT DINNER. Prepared at InHtltutlon at Sunnyside ly vSIatcrji of Charity. At the Home for the Aged, on the Base X.lne road and East Thirtieth street, yes terday CO aged men were given a royal Thanksgiving dinner and were made to feel that, though retired from the world, they were not forgotten. In the dining hall 50 were able to jjather at tables heav ily laden with good things. The other 10 or 12, who were too feeble to leave their rooms, were served with such delicacies as their condition would permit them to have. "We have had a good time," said one aged man who Is making his home in this retreat. With the exception of some who were very sick everyone" enjoyed the day at this worthy Institution, which is under .the charge of the Sisters of Mercy. It was expected to have electric lights In the building by this time, but they were not secured. It is hoped to have them by Christmas. The friends of the institution hope some benevolent persons will keep this want In mind for Christmastlde. Recently a Protestant, becoming Im pressed with the worthy character of thi3 retreat for the aged, donated, the money necessary about $1000 for beautifying the grounds. Under the; direction of Arch bishop Christie, driveways have been laid out and the grounds beautified. FOOD FOR POOR FAMILIES. Volnnte.ers'. of America Distribute Thnnlff5iviiijr Boxen.

The distribution was begun Tuesday, and 50 boxes were delivered al together. This scheme was an Innovation, and was adopted In place of giving the usual Thanksgiving dinner., The officers state that It, was found to be the most satisfactory plan yet adopted. It reaches worthy people. Including tho widows arid the sick. The organization was assisted In this work by numerous subscriptions and donations from business arid professional men. The memhers of the Volunteers state that they were met with kindness everywhere they appealed for assistance. In some places where boxes were left the people were found absolutely In want. One woman was found with eight children with very little to eat in the house and was overjoyed to receive the donation. The work was done quietly, and In such a manner as not to attract attention. The officer in charge In Portland is Captain R. B. Watson, and Captain John Ander son Is also stationed here. SHERIFF'S GUESTS MAKE MERRY. County Jail Chef Entertains Prison ers at ScxnptnouH Dinner.

M'MILLEN ON THE GAME. "The game, with one exception, wa3 one of the best and cleanest I have ever played In between Ore gon and Multnomah". The only slight mistake wis the ruling off of Klrkley and Kerron, who were mis taken by the officials for some ono else. In tho excitement of the scrimmage I -am convinced that two cf the players must have struck at each other, but in the mlx-up, the officials could not dfetlr.guish. which were the offenders, and two inno cent men had to suffer. The work of the officials was the most satis factory that we have ever had, and n great deal of Multnomah's victory was due to the encourage ment given by the; rooters. The spirit shown by the clubmen was -almost equal to that shown at a college contest. I think Dolph has developed a very good team, but Multnomah was at her test, and simply carried. Oregon, off her feet by tho aggressive style of play." Coach McMillan, of the Multnomah team. to Goodrich who fumbled the ball, which ugaiueu oy .tvener.
