whether we deplore it or rejoice because
of it, the fact nevertheless remains that
the propulsively progressive spirit of the

very properly called advanced therapeutics
upon the attention of our profession."
Without a doubt. Osteopathy has done
more toward eliminatine druo- treatment
and bringing about rational methods than
any other single agent. The remarkable
percentage of cures accomplished by it,
even in cases which have defied everv
other treatment, simply cannot be over
looked; and even quite a percentage of
medical practitioners, who are naturallv
somewhat loath to recognize a system
which has been bold enough to declare its
independence, are now sending patients to
Osteopaths. The system is oei..g even
more fully recognized, however, bv those
not of the medical profession; and the
fact of its having received legislative rec
ognition in a larce maioritv of the states
of the Union, coupled with its good work
everywhere is making it rapidly take its
rank as the foremost healing method of
the day.

CHURCHES OF LA dMIWf
UMlTf III OFFERING TI1AMKS
Thanksgiving day was generally observ
ed amons the churches of the eitv vUr.
day. A union service of the Methodist,
Baptist. Presbyterian and Christian
churches was held in the Christian church
yesterday morning. This was the annual
service at which the churches ofTer up
thanks and follow their thanks with a
donation to the city's poor.
Presiding Elder J. D. Gillilan
conducted the services, which were wholly
along Thanksgivrg lines.
In the evening, the Presbyterian church
was the meeting plae of the union
services Rev. Gibson of the Baptist church
delivering the sermon.
Following is a brief outline of Rev.
Gibson's sermon on the theme "What
hath God Wrought? '
We are .iving. we are dwelling in a
grand and awful time. In an age of ages.
"Count ymir bleasmps and it will surprise
you what the Lord hath done." Because
of what God has wrought in our age. we
stand defferentiated from all other ages.
, The last hundred years have been
defferentiated from all others in history
because of: First, Progress in civil gov
ernment. Our age, and especially so by
the Americans' achievment as a republic
decrees that every despotism, monarchy
and empire shall fall and on their vacan
cies shall rise a government for the
people. Second; We have a marked
progress ir. invention, discovery, and
thought. Along economical lines, the
modern convenience of which we think so
little; in the medical work world, anticep
tics, anesthetics and osteopathy are on
thirty-six years old. Inventions have in
the last one hundred years, perfected the
steamboat,- the locomotive, the e'ectric
cars, the bicycle, the automobile, the tele
graph, trans-atlan tic cables of steel, the
harvesters, printing press and sewing
machine. M?ans of lightning, wireless
telegraph airships.
We are living in an age of expansion.
An hour or two scent in the study of
American history will refresh the forget
ful memory of the expansion by the
American people. Hawaii, Porto Rico
and the Philippines are only tne latest
aoditions to our territory.
Educationally, this age has made won
derful strides. In 1800 we had eight

Greatest of all expansion, it our
broadening out a:ong religious linos.
In 1800 we h;d 866.000 protestants, now
there are twenty-two millions. Then
there was one protestant to 1 45 Inhab
itants; now there are four. The Method
ist church had. in 1800, 66,000 members;
now theie are 7,000,000. The Baptists
may almost duplicate this rate of increase.
In 1804 the first Bible h.-mse was insti
tuted. Today, the American Bible Society
puts out per year, 1,000,000 copies of
the Holy Bible.
But with all these advances and ex
pansions and developments characterizing
our age, we need men of sterling qualities.
We have many perils, paramount among
which is the liquor traffic. What the
a or Id needs, what America needs, is men,
men who are men.
EP1SCOHALS' lHAPiitGiViNu
The Episcopate held thanksgiving ser
vices in St. Paul's church dur.ng ' the
morning.
The rector's address was based on some
of the thoughts suggested by the Presi
dent's thanksgiving proclamation. After
pointing out the great national prosperity
and blessings which the nation at present
enjoys, he emphasized the point that the
nation must be mindful of the scource
whence all all blessings are derived.
He reminded his hearers that if
we forget that it is primarily to God we
owe thanks, then we would be like Neb
uchadnezzar, and assemble the glory
solely to ourselvesand become self center
ed. What we must do is to recognize
that we are stewards for God and to use
our riches for the good of all and en
deavor to promote peace, justice and good
will among men. We should remember
the words of th prophet Micah, and ever
act on them. "What doth the Lord thy
God require of thee? But to do justly, to
love mercy and walk humbly with thy
God."
