C A-. delivered an address in which he mentioned the gains of the allies as a basis for thankfulness. -While the shadow of the casualty lists still hangs over us." said Profes sor Coleman, "it la with chastened hearts that we give thanks for the future that lies ahead of us. There are three outstanding permanent gains of this war which our children and our children's children will enjoy. First. I will enumerate the under standing of the apparently weak and lowly. The best Illustration that I can find Is right here in the Northwest. When the Government called for ships and airplanes to carry out the great nmirimmr for the extermination of German militarism, the response came from a crowd of loggers and lumber men. of whom little had been thought heretofore. These men formed the 1 -rival Lea-ion of Loggers and Lumber men. and through their efforts it has been possible to launch wooden ships in such rapid succession aiong Pacific Coast. Regime of Neglect Gone. "Since the Government has taken "Standardisation is this country's watchword and in this case we have standardized humanity. Our war on Germany was not an economic war, a nationalistic war, or a war for anything Germany may have It was a war on inhumanity. "We ceased to build ships we man ufactured them It was the greatest outpouring of ships, munitions, men, money and enthusiasm the world has ever seen. And It was all to crush the German monstrosity Kaiserlsm. The terms we have imposed are American terms righteous and Just. "Germany must make restitution in every way that work and money can make this possible. This Thanksgiving, which Is distinctively an American in stitution, should be made an occasion for giving thanks by the entire civil' lied world." . Divine guidance In making the terms of peace, which will affect the destines of the world for the next century, was asked In the prayer delivered by the Rev. Charles O. McCuIlouch. of the Ep- worth Methodist Episcopal Church. Be sides the Methodist church. Lutheran and First Christian churches Joined in the union services. President Wilson's Thanksgiving day proclamation was read by Mayor Baker. Patriotic song services were held at the close at the services.

A eplrlt of thanksgiving prevailed at St. Mary's Cathedral, where services were held at :30 and 8 A. M.. with high mass at 10 o'clock, at which Father Viuinan preached the sermon. "This is the greatest of all Thanks giving days." declared Father Qulnan. "We are grateful and thankful that God has given us peace as a great tri umph of right. "Thank God that this we know America entered the war for no selfish or mercenary reason, but that the prin ciples of righteousness end justice might prevail. Thank God that our country entered the war. No country ever took up a sword with a more glo rious ideal than America. It was not for herself In any sense, nor for wealth or any worldly gain, but that right, and not might, would prevail. "Thank God that the object of the war has been attained. "The war has brought a newer and greater religion: It has brought out the necessity of religion in our homes, and the necessity of prayer. It has brought us nearer in reality to God, and In do lng that, has brought us closer together In a bond of fellowship. 'A newer and greater love of country has been Instilled Into the people. The war has taught a lesson of response, and of giving to each other, as was demonstrated in the uniting of creeds in the great united war drive which has Just passed.
