B y M f M*cJtftbwrg C or respondent [very rancher’s household is in a state of pre t 1 paration for Thanksgiving, such a Thanks giving as the world has never known, when the most sacred of all reunions is in anticipation,if not for that day so soon that the heart can rist in gratitude as devoutly as if the empty seat at the table were really filled,and the voice, the face and the footstep that we have missed so long were with us to share our joy in thq, great victory of Right over Wrong in and the thought that our be loved Union as in the eighteenth century when she made of herself a nation, in the nineteenth when she drove the curse of slavery from the land and at its very close banished a cruel and appressive Power from America, has .won a rightful and—as we hope—abiding Peace. But what shall we say of that miserable min ority in our mist, some we confess with sham e- native Americans, who have been against us in the strife, who under the flimsy cloak of an artifical piety, have not only refused to fight or to give of their substance for the maintenance of our army, but have been using their influence against every means for upholding our nation's cause? Who would stand in their places now when in honor,the army is to be mustered out and the soldiers are re turning to receive the adulation of a grateful Pub lic? How shall these disloyalists meet the gaze of those brave men who through fire and flood have come back to us leaving many a valiant comrade buried under foreign soil? What, can America be to these slackers in the future? Where can they hide from the public gaze, for to a loyal soul, ‘‘Not all the preaching since Adam” has made non-com- batance other than cowardice or the non-giver else than a shirk. The war is over. Every chance to wipe out this disgrace is gone. One opportunity, however, remains to them. They can give generously in the United War Work campaign. Those helping to restore the world from the war’s havoc and to ameliorate the suffering that follows war and they can subscribe to the new war loans, thereby earn ing for themselves something like a right to oc cupy American soil. Travelers visiting Home while It was still the center of a land of peace, found Christmas there a day of Joy ousness ; and the merry bells of many churches, ushering In the day, spoke the familiar, language of home. Just before the war, Dr. Grenfell, of Labrador fame, indulged in the unusual luxury of a brief holiday in Europe, 8fter years of tireless service among the fishermen. His journey brought him and Mrs. Grenfell to Rome just as the many religious and civil observances of the Christinas season were about to take place. A great contrast these scenes were to the Christmases of Icebound Labra dor. The decorations, the greetings, and the crowds flocking in and out of churches, emphasized the spirit of the season. “All the places of worship Into which we peeped,” h e1 says, “were ablaze with' lights, while processions of priests in glittering robes, with so norous choruses and ascending incense, appealed to the various senses.” At one church they viewed the five boards believed to have formed a part of the cradle of our Lord. The American Episcopal Church of St. Paul, where they worshiped on Christmas morning, was crowded with the Protestant population of the Holy City. A feature of the service was the dedicating of a beautiful new mosaic, covering one entire wall of the church and representing the nativity of Christ. -Of the Coliseum, says Dr. Grenfell, "we could think of no place better to suggest to our minds the communion of the saints f arid as we walked round the tiers of seats we could- see again the ‘men of like passions with ourselves,’ giving their lives for the same Master we claim to serve.” When darkness had felien the trav Rev. E. Z. Yoder was in town Mon ellers were attracted by numbers of day from his Clackamas county home bright lights over by the Porta San Giovanni. These proved .to announce on business. “all the fun of a fair”—there in Italy A.
