KQinnry, of the PrenbytKrittncharch, read
theKrlpture len, Dr. Cowan, of the
Congregational church, offered prayer
and Kev. T. L. Jonea read the presi
dent proclamation.
The choir, composed of lingers from
the aeveral churches under the leader
ship of Mrs. J. II. Strukler, was es
pecially One and the rendition of the
anthems and patriotic songa s decided
tieat to the large audience In attendance.
The sermon was preached by Rev. M.
L. Kugg, of the Baptist church, from
I'saluis 07 :1 : "The Lord rtigneth ; lei
the earth rejoice." Ia the introduction
the ipeaker traced the origin and bistnry
of Thanknirivingday from the time of
our I'uritan fathers down through the
early Kevolutionery times to the Civil
war, when Preaidont Lincolu sot apart a
day for national thanksgiving and praise
to Almighty God for the blessings vouch
safed to us as a nation.
Reasons for thanksgiving were found
In the fact our land had been free from
peHtllence or plague during the year ; the
harvests had been good and we were at
peare with all nations ; that not only the
newly elected preeident and vice-president,
but every one of the aspirants for
these positions were men of irreproach
able character; that the late political
canvaas was one of principle instead of
mere personalities; principles rather
thsn parties separate the people to-day.
It was a campaign of education and we
could be thankful for the remit whether
our favorite candidate was elected or not
if we believed in the final triumph of
truth, and were advocating truth, our
can no would be sucuenful in the end. In
this campaign our people had served
notice on future candidates that they
would have to deal with the intelligence
inatead of the ignorance of the nation.
Politically we need the reign of God to
nuke us thankful. The past history o(
reform in politics is that the devil hss
been cast out only to return sgain with
seven other devils worse than himself.
There was great reason for thank fulness
in bringing our young people into active
service throuith the various young peo
ples organizations. Heretofore they had
been a load ; now they were a power ; the
drags had been made to draw ;lhe Niagara
of enthusiusm had been harnessed up
and was being utilised in the Master's
service. What was needed especially
to-day to make us thankful was not to
review our mercies. We knew what they
were, but a realization of the fact that
Jehovah reigns. It is the great ground
of our thankxgiving. Without the recog.
tiition of Jehovah's reign there could be
no national day of thanksgiving. There
might be a national holiday of feasting
and rejoicing but it could not be one of
thauksgiving without the recognition of
the reign of an intelligent being to call
out our hearts in thanksgiving and
praise. We need the reign of Jehovah
to give us assurance lor tne future so
t,liat our thanksiying to-day will not be
marred by our anxiety about to-morrow,
Many people need a belief in the over
ruling power ol Jehovah because of their
present troubles ; those who are in pov
erty and sorrow; those whose prodigals
have wondered away from home ; those
in whose family circles are vacant chairs.
It was a sermon of great power, well
prepared, delivered with earnestness
and duly appreciated by the congrega
ton. At the close of the services a collection
was taken for the poor in addition to the
very generous donations of flour, vege
tables and other eatables that were
brought in as the congregation was as
sembling.
The first quarterly conference of the
Methodist church in this city for this
conference year was held on Sunday and
Monday of this week with Dr. Tarsons,
presiding elder of the Salem district, in
charge. The Doctor preached an elo
quent discourse Sunday morning, at the
close of which communion services were
held. No evening services were held in
deference to the union evanglistic ser
vices in the city. At the Monday even
ing business meeting the following local
preachers were relicensed : D. II. Percel,
J, Sheumaker and O. . Peterson. J,
W. Meldrum, J. L. Swafford, M. L,
Moore, E. J. Maple, Jonathan Hum
phrys, S. F. Scripture, C, A. Williams,
O. F. Olsen and E. E. Martin were elect
ed trustees for the ensuing year ; stew
ards, Prof. S. W. Holmes, O. F. Olsen,
C. A. Williams, Mrs.M. M. Osborn, John
Hickman, Mrs. Emma Httmphrys, Mrs.
E. M. Maole, li. J. Prindle, llaltie Cum,
Mrs. Harub Dickeraon and Mrs. D. T.
Willinms; recording steward snd treas
urer, Mias Ifattie Case.
The regular monthly business meeting
of the church occurs on the first Monday
evening in each month.
Evangelist lloldridge and Dickson,
who have been conducting union evan
gelistic services in the city tor three
week past, closed with a largely attend
ed farewell meeting at the Congregational
church Hundav evening. Mr. Dickson
sung several appropriate solos and Key.
Mr, floldridge preached on; of his best
sermons from the text: "His garments
smelted of myrrh, aloes snd cassia."
The subtle influence ol perfumes in gen
eral upon our lives and the power of
familiar ones to bring back to our irem
ory thoughts and scenes thai we suppos
ed dwelt in the forgotten past, was il
lustrated with appropriate incidents
taken from everyday life that had come
under the evangelist's own observation.
The evangelists departed on Monday
to commence a series of services in Dr.
Boyd's church in South Portland.
PRAIRIE ROADWAYS.
Wnaa
Properly Drained. They Kews
Ia
Fairly Good Condltloa.
The dry weather of tbe last three
years has taught rj this leaso, thst if
the road is only dry it vrill be fairly
good, write James Yaill in Cedar Rap
ids Gazette. Indeed the only enemy to
our dirt road is water, snd the secret of
keeping these roads in the best condi
tion is to take care of the water In the
soil by drainage, by having the surface
of the road well rounded and keeping it
in that shape, and prevent washing by
keeping the surface smooth and the rata
filled np. To keep tbe roads in tbe prop
er condition it is necessary to do work at
intervals during the whole season. A
great amount of work is not required,
bnt it must be done at the right time.
No depression must be permitted to re
main and bold water, but low places
Oiled op as soon as discovered, and aft
er every rain, as soon as the soil is stiff
euorjgh, the grader sbonld be used to
smooth the surface and fill np the rata.
Bat tbe grader should never be used
wben the soil is too dry to pack, as it
makes a ridge of dust which tbe first
rain change into mod.
. pne feature Jn j)nr road system, al
ways overlooked when oar roads are
compared with those of eastern states or
foreign countries, is tbe number we are
required to maintain. Ws have more
than twice as many road in the same
space as csn be found in tbe old and
thickly populated districts of France
and England, with the added disadvan
tage of having always to follow a
straight line. Bnt, despite of all draw
backs, onr roads can be kept fairly good
if intelligently cared for, and to bring
about that condition it is absolutely
necessary that the payment o the prop
erty road tax in labor should be abol
ished. FIX THE ROADS NOW.
The Time to Rrpalr a Highway I When
It Kerda It.
Moat every one has heard of the man
who gave it out that he always took a
bath every yeur whether be needed it or
not A great many roads are "worked"
on the same principle, says The L. A.
W. Bulletin. Ouce a year they are given
what ia kuown as a "fixing np," and
the rest of the time they must shift for
themselves. As a consequence they
"shift" from one side to the other, just
as the lay of the land and the lack of
proper drainage may demand.
And, be it remembered, there is some
times a piece of road that nature has
kindly cared for, which really does not
require fixing. Often this is plowed np,
A MODERN HIGHWAY.
From L. A. W. Bnlletin.J
along with defective sections, and is
made soft and susceptible to ruts and
washouts It is also then in a good con
dition to produce the largest quantity
of dust
A good road should never be thus
"repaired." A defective road should be
repaired at any and all times. It is
cheaper, and certainly much better.
Europe's good roads are the result of
proper building and constant care. They
do not have to bo repaired. They are
fixed before they need repairing in the
sense of being partly rebuilt
The one great lesson the people of onr
land must learn is tlmt the time to re
pair a road is when it needs it. These
once a year reformations are too few
and far between. Fix the roads now.
Good Boada llvat Him.
A oanvass since the recent election in
Waterbury, Conn., shows that George
Traoy, the Republican candidate for
first selectman and tbe only Republican
defeated, with one exception, was beat
en by a carefully organized effort of the
bicycle organizations of tbe city.' Mr.
Tracy opposed spending large sums on
town roads.

Councilman Cooke moved to reconsider
iirauia in die council a u novenmer
session, wDereby 123 yards of crushed
rock were ordered placed on Seventh
street and 25 yards on Singer bill, on the
ground that it required the passage of an
ordinance to make such action by the
council legal. Councilman Moffit moved
to amend by referring the matter to a
committee consisting of Councilmen
Koerner, Bittner and Gault to draft an
ordinance and report at next meeting.
Councilman Porter raised the point of
order that a vote could not be reconsid
ered after final action bad been taken
thereon. Mayor Straight thought the
point of order well taken and declared
the motion out of order. Councilman
Cooke appealed from the decision of the
chair, but the council sustained the
Mayor, Moffit, Koerner, Bittner and
Porter voting in the affirmative and Mel
drum and Cooke in the negative.
Councilmen Koerner, Bittner and
Gault were appointed a committee to
draft an ordinance for the improvement
of Seventh street.
The application of the heirs of the
Stratton estate and the trustees of the
Methodist church for the issuance of
bonds under the Bancroft Bonding Act to
pay their assessments for improving
Seventh street, was referred to the com
mittee on Streets and Public property to
report at the next meeting,
