Let us say thanks with bated breath, yet, with genuine thanks giving, for God's preservation of the American Nation. , The abundant blessings are be stowed upon us only as the agents of God let us pour out our abundance to those af flicted. Above all, let us be thankful for God's inestimable love. .Remember that the world does not owe you a living, but you owe the world a life. Give thanks not only that you can sit down to a Thanksgiving dinner, but that others may do as well. Let us remember that God has so preserved this Nation that it stands as the greatest proof of human sympathy and as the ideal of all nations. Remember the horrors that face the nations of Europe then re member the blessings that face our Nation on this beautiful, peaceful. Thanksgiving day then thank God from whom all blessings flow. The congregations of various churches of the city joined yesterday morning in union Thanksgiving serv ices at the First Congregational Church, Park and Madison streets. With music, prayer and sermon, the congre gation, which filled the church, gave thanks for the things which the Ameri can Nation and people have to be thankful for. They also joined in a contribution, one-third of which will go to the Associated Charities and two thirds to the Belgian relief fund. Rev. W. B. Hinson. pastor of the White Temple, Baptist Church, de livered the . Thanksgiving sermon on "Things for Which We Should Be Thankful." He took as his text a verse from a Congregational hymn, the word ing of which is an expression of thanks to God for our creation, our preserva tion and for His inestimable love. "Ai I sat gazing out into the beau tiful sunshine this morning," said Dr. Hinson. "my thoughts turned to ths horrible scenes of devastation, suffer lne and misery in Europe. What a wonderful lot we of the American Na tion have to be thankful fori How marvelously has God preserved our Na tion! While Europe stands In the throes of the most horrible war in ages, we stand in the balm of an Autumn day, surrounded with blessings. Let .us re member that God has so preserved this Nation that it stands as the greatest proof of human sympathies and as an ideal to all nations. Unselfishness Is Urged. "But let lis pour out our abundance to those afflicted. The many bless lngs are crlven Us only as the agents of God. Let us pass them along. When we sit down to our Thanksgiving din ner let us be thankful, not only for our dinner, but that others have the same abundance. Let us pray that the abundance may spread to chaotic Europe. "Above all, let us be thankful for God's inestimable love. God is love. The acceptance of God means the hand lng over of your life to Him and not merely the formality of bowing before a cross or the paying of tithes. "Let us be thankful for our own crea tion. God's greatest sift, outside His own eon is life. Let us be thankful that He has brought us to the world, Then let us remember that as we grow old we are not approaching the sunset we are going toward the sunrise." Good Musla Provided. An elaborate musical programme was carried out during the service. Music was furnished by the choir of the First Congregational Churc'u, comprising Mrs. Herman Politz, Mrs. Charles H. Henney, Harold Hurlburt and William A. Mont eomery, with Georgia Seymour Beech' wood at the organ. - The services were conducted by Rev. Ik R. Dyott, pastor of First Congrega tional Church, who led in prayer and responsive reading. Near the close of the service Dr. Dyott announced that the congregation would be given an opportunity to take part In the greatest sermon of all time, on Unselfishness, He announced that a collection would be taken up. one-third of the amount contributed to go to the Associated Charities and two-thirds to the Belgian renei tuna. GEOGRAPHICAL BLESSIXG SEES Dr. Chapman Gives Thanks for Nat ural Protection From War. In his address yesterday morning on "Our National Blessings, at the sec ond annual community Thanksgiving services, held in the Rose City Park clubhouse, Sandy boulevard and East Fifty-seventh streets. Dr. C. H. Chap man pointed out that one of the great est blessings this country had to be thankful for at present is its geograph ical situation. "Canada on the north," ire said, "Is much like our own people. There are no fortresses between the United States and Canada and no navy on the great lakes, and "none will be needed. We may be thankful for the Atlantic Ocean at the present time, when the European countries are being devastated by war, and my only regret is that the Atlantic is not 6000 miles wide instead of 3000 miles. On the west we are protected by 10.000 miles of the Pacific Ocean and I am not worrying about the Jap anese coming over here with armies and navy -to overrun this country. "On the south we are not in any dan. ger from the Mexicans. They will not Invade this country, and when they want to kill anybody they kill each other. We may be thankful that we were kept out of war with Mexico by our level-headed President. Dr. Chapman discussed the value of the ballot and politics, and said both should be used to better conditions and make life happier. "The ballot." he said, "should he used to make life better. It should apply to' our streets and lights, give us more parks and playgrounds, better schools. better and cheaper fuel, better food. Politics is valuable, as it makes con ditions better and enables our people to have a more practical education, an education which makes men more effi I 4 -5 , ii n ... . s ?

SERVICES PICTtTKE OLD HOME The Well by the Gate" Thanks giving Sermon vat Evangelical. "The Well by the Gate" was the sub ject of the Thanksgiving sermon de livered yesterday morning by P.ev. J. D. Nlsewonder, at the union services held in the First United Evangelical Church. Ladd's Addition, by the United Brethren, Evangelical Association and the United Evangelical churches of the East Side. Mr. Nisewonder emphasized the old home and its simplicity and purity as compared with the luxuries of the present day. We could do well on this beautiful Thanksgiving morning," said the speaker, "to recall the old homestead and the old home with its virtues and with mother and father there. We could copy the virtues, many of which have been lost. What can be more beautiful than the picture of the old homestead, the old well and mother with the Bible on her knee. Mother hood in all its beauty was exemplified In the old home motherhood, which Is the acme of woman's mission. We need more to reverence and exemplify mother todaythan ever before. We need more of"to Bible in the homes of today, more Bible reading than pre vails nowadays, in order to preserve reverence for sacred things and sacred thoughts and for the preservation of the American home. We need to give mother and father a larger place in the home than ever before." FOUR CHURCHES JOIil Jewish, Unitarian and Univer salists Worship Together. "FOLLIES" UNDER WAY INITIAL FLANS FOR CHARITY COM EDY MADE BY THEATER MEJT. "New Stuff Declared Demanded, so Committee Is- Assigned to Get "Goods" tor Spring Offering. Portland's annual laugh that is to say, the one laughed in the name 01 sweet charity is on its way. It started chuckling and gurgling yesterday morning, when several of Portland's most dignified theater managers met behind closed doors and, in all serious ness, began to plan for their funfest, which, as usual, will be known and heralded far and wide as "The Follies. The managers, after due deliberation. conscientiously decided that the public was due to have a real one put over on it this year and accordingly started early. The torn-foolery will not be staged, probably, until "just before Lent. Frank Cof f inberry,. William T. Pangle and Milton Seaman were delegated to concoct a dramatis personnae and to beg, borrow or steal whatever might be necessary to shove the frolic over so it will take.- - They will endeavor to forget and forgive the reminiscences of "East Lynne," "Two Orphans" and George L. Baker's personification of Little Eva of years gone by, ,They will endervor this year to filch "new stuff" from the more modern plays. At any rate the managers promise something worth while, with no in tention of giving it. They agreed yes terday that what the public wanted was something "different" than the stage offers today and they will at tempt to steal it. "The Follies" are the annual out breaking of the managers. The pro ceeds go entirely to help actors and actresses and others who get stranded in or about this part of the country on their journey in the pursuit of making other people happy or sad. WAR IS TOPIC OF ADDRESS Dr. Eliot Asks Deeper Study of Con ditions, Withholding of Judg ment and Learning of Les sons of Christianity. Mango Kages Among Coyotes. SILVER LAKE, Or., Nov. 26. (Spe- oial.) Mange is more prevalent than usual among coyotes of Central Ore gon this Fall. The pelts of several wild doss killed in this vicinity recently were so barren they were not worth curing. This, together with the ex hausting of the county's bounty fund, is a severe blow to trappers. Union Thanksgiving services 1 were held yesterday morning at Temple Beth Israel, in which congregations or tne Unitarian, Universalist and Hebrew churches of the city joined. Following the reading of scripture by Kaobi Jonah B. Wise and Rabbi Robert Abra ham, prayer was offered by Rev. J. 13. Corby. The prayer at the conclusion of the services was by Ur. T. Li. n.iiot and the benediction was pronounced by Rabbi Wise. The sermon was by Rev. William G. Eliot, of the Church of Our Father. Unitarian. The address was a .departure from the usual Thanksgiving discourse and was rather a discussion of present day needs and duties. The world war crisis and how to meet it was the thought presented. He urged his hear ers to be generous to those who suffer, to be neutral, to think deeply and to be optimistic. He said in part: "What is necessary if we are to snow spirit of fair play and maintain the respect and regard of those who differ from us Is that we should read both sides of the case with as much impar tiality as Tpossible; that in reading we should weigh authorities rather than count them; that we should faithfully discriminate between evidence and as sertions; between hysteria and so briety... Slow Judgment Urged, "It Is desirable for neutrals In trying to analyze and determine responsibility for the war that they should remember how little we really have to go on and that history sometimes seems to prove that it requires a -good many years really to untangle the skeins of tanglel threads. This warns us all to avoid dogmatism and the prematura conceit of certainty, whichever way our sym pathies and present opinion may in cline. "Again in the determination of our sympathies, let us beware of seeing only the bad in one nation and the good In another. There Is bad in ail me na tions at war and good. To be Just, compare good with good and bad with bad. - There is a side to English life that is exceedingly noble and beautiful. Compared with the more materialistic and self-seeking phases of German life, the advantage is all with England, nut there is a side to German life that is exceedingly noble and beautiful. Com Dared to the more materialistic and self-seeking phases of English life the advantage is all with Germany. Great Sacrifices Cited. "I entertain my own opinion of the underlying causes and immediate re sponsibility for this war, but I am bound to admit upon the evidence at hand that in Germany. Russia and Eng land the general mass of the people are not .moved by selfish and Jealous "lm pulse but are profoundly convinced of their duty, and are making most extra ordinary sacrifices. "A pity for all concerned must then abate the partisanship of citizens in neutral state; It must abate tbe part isanship of those whose sympathies are with the allies not less, let me say, ought It to abate the partisanship o those whose sympathies are with Ger many and Austria. "Every day we read enough to catc the main drift and perhaps run an eye over the columns of lost, strayed, or stolen - dispatches. Now and then we glance at an -editorial that interprets the strategy or predicts good times for America. If we have not matriculated at the 'war college' on Alder street. still at least we have joined an exten sion course on the street car or when discussing the matter with our neigh bors. "But how many Americans are read ing deeply and thinking deeply? How many In the light of their reading are trying to test out the boasted achieve ments of our Twentieth Century clvill zation? Will not this war lsave the world where it found it, except for superficial alterations, unless there is tirred in all this world deep think ing? And in proportion as we do think deeply, I am sure we shall work away from the over emphasis ucon certain tendencies that are popular and men acing in these latter days, tendencies evidenced in literature, art, politics. education, even in religion. I mean the tendency to exaggerate and exalt self-impulse, self-expression, natural esires, personal rights against all ra tional balance and proportion and in denial or defiance of the will and plan of God. And I mean the opposite tena ncy wherein we minimize personal duty, self control, personal obedience and responsibility and hope for salva tion exclusively through the passage of statutes. I am not denying the utility of leg islation. I am denying the efficiency of legislation. Legislation always is a confession of weakness, not a victory for goodness."
