Thanksgiving Day after the Civil war had a meaning all its own for the nation, no longer colonies. Thanksgiving Day after the Spanish-American war had a meaning for the continent. Each had a new note added to the muic and message of the hour. And to there is a new note added to the music and message and thanksgiving of this. distinctively American holi day at this time. " It is the note of our limited vision by the thorn neratlon, and the bank clearances' of crown of suffering and pain so evi dent to the eyes of all. As a nation we have the profoundest reasons for thankfulness to Almighty God as we contemplate his goodness to as: First In the days of terror and devastation that have smitten the fair lands across the sea we have dwelt In safety free from the des truction and rain that have been their lot. As we learn of the atrocities prac ticed there, the ruin of villages and cities, of great cathedrals and churches hoary with age, the des truction of homes and the carrying of many away into servitude and worse horrors the loss of unnam- 200.00 4.500.00 1.200.00 6.000.00 3.250.00 7,123.50 4.200.00 1,030.00 951.00 720.00 500.00 gratitude for an international vic tory, for the victory of the principle - bered thousands of lives as we con- 'l.miil.t. tti.A.ft Itilti. ........

It is true, treachery and In trigue and in some cases violence; have been evident here, due to an insidious despicable system of prop aganda, yet it being a time of war, we have nevertheless been so free from the awful results of conflict to be seen in Belgium and France, and Serbia and Russia, as -to be almost ready to entirely forget the blows that have fallen here as we stand In the presence of the infinitely greater ruin there. For the American people there will be Increasing reasons for thankful ness, as the coming days make more of humanity over brute force and selfish ambitions and lust for do minion. A victory for the peoples of the world unequalled In the his tory of the past a victory that rec ognizes the rights of smaller nations equally with the larger that em phasizes the reign of the people In stead of the reign of the privileged classes a victory that estimates a man of more value than a machine gun. It is a victory for the world of humanity and for world peace. I have said upon the closing year rests a crown of glory. You will remember that in answer to Moses' request, "I beseech thee show me thy glory." the Lord said. "I will make all my goodness pass before thee." as though he would Intimate tnat God's greatest glory lies not in his power but in his goodness a point-real to us the fruits of ruthlessness autocracy overlooked. It seems to and terrorism in Europe. "Surely our cities tell as of the Immense volume of business. And despite the prophets of evil we trust these days of prosperity, may not soon pass away. How much this financial pros perity has meant to many families bo have lived on the margin of want for years. Fourth Marvelous growth of the humanilrian spirit among- us is something to be prized as the influ ence of the divine upon the human heart. It Is strange that it required this war to bring about this expression of humanitarianism. It takes the dark ness of the night to bring out the stars.' It took the pain and suffer ing of war to bring to manifestation this wonderful altruistic spirit thl otherism of which we have talked so much in the past and which we have practised so little. Now we are practising it more and talking less about it. Why should we be called upon to feed the victims of German terror ism and that before we had a part In the war. We were not responsible for Bel gium's sufferings. We did not rob them of homes and bread. Germany was responsible for that. Why not then let Germany feed them. Some may have a?ked such questions.

IL Burghardt, Jr.. dis- tbe lines have fallen to us in pleas ant places." secona Ana can we not see the goodness of God in the abun dant harvests That have rewarded the toilers In the fields?? We have not known want. 'Tis true we have been asked to curtail the use of cer tain things dear to the palate but there has been enough for each and enough for all. And by reason of these abundant harvests and the practice of a little substitution we have had not only enough for our selves, but we have been privileged to feeM the armies of. the allies and the starving millions of the devas tated lands whom the invading arm ies of rapine gave over to famine, dis ease and death. In the goodness of God our land has been permitted to become the storehouse ont of which those noble people,' struggling for the mainte nance of their honor, their right, their country and their lives, have been fed and are still being fed. We have been the host and hostess for Europe. We have . kept open house for the soldiery of righteous ness who were not only fighting for themselves but also for us. That to us such a distinctive honor and privi lege-came la born of the goodness of God. For- it is he who gave us sunshine and showers, frujtful fields ana ripenea grain. or "Back of the loaf is the snowy floor: And back of the floor, the mm. And back of the mill is the wheat 'and the shower. And the sun and the Father's will. S Had our harvests failed, had we been compelled to straggle with the specter of starvation or want, what then, would have been the fate of the sufferers in France and Belgium and Russia and others to whom our sup plies came with such rich welcome Thou crownest the year with thy goodness." It was a far greater thing to feed the nations than to destroy them; to bring them bread than to conquer and bring them ser vitude. Our privilege was possible only through the goodness of God. Third And what of the financla prosperity of our land? Let us thank God first especially because of what it made possible for us to do. Con demned by some as the results of profiting by the war. It -nevertheless remains a fact that financial pros perity made possible the war loans to the struggling nations of Europe whose principles were ours. It made possible the liberty loans to Our own government. It made possible the Red Cross and Y. M. C. A. and Sal vation Army relief movements, and all other movements that had for their purpose the mitigation of the evils of war. It surely has been a time of great financial prosperity for there has been work for all who wanted It. and at wages in many cases surpassing all previous experi ence in the history of labor. It has made our friend the "tramp." the "hobo" so fully a thing of the past as to almost transform him into a memory if not a mere myth. In all probability some future higher critic studying this period will prove that such a type never existed. For his passing some ministers of my ac quaintance' should be particularly grateful. For the products of farm and fac tory there has been adequate remn- and America." Now that Isn't the ex act language of Isaiah but It comes very close to it, and it probably Is what he would say today if he were here. After the battle of Aglncourt. when England gathered, upon the field to celebrate their victory, there was read in their bearing the scrip ture. "Not unto us. O Lord, not unto us, but unto thy name give glory." We should repeat those words of the Psalmist today. The mailed fist of the kaiser was not big enough 'to strike down the arm of the Lord.' The sword of au tocracy was not equal to the sword of the Lord and the allies. And so in deeper, richer measure than ever be fore there is gladness and gratitude In our hearts this day since the great Cod saw fit among human Instru ments of his power In the triumph of righteousnes to ore our country, our sons, our manhood and womanhood Eighth And are there not abun dant reasons for gratitude as we rec ognize the great fact so dear to the Christian church that In facing tb future with Its problems that the forces of the kingdom of God still abide. God lives. Jesus Christ, tht Saviour of men. Is the same yester day, today and forever. The Holy Spirit has lost none of Its power to convince men of sin,- of righteousness such considerations our glorious j and of Judgment to come, and to re- demptlon forces are still efficient; men may ever find in the cross and the Christ, hope and everlasting life the promises of God are unchange able, and the need of mankind is as pressing, as ever. Fortified by these facts and forces there is no need for fear as we meet tomorrow... There should b that gratitude, that gladne&s that will give strength and inspiration to under take the task of bringing In the day when the kingdoms of this world shall have been transformed into th kingdom of our Cod and his Christ For the realisation of this sublime Ideal we. are to toll bellevlngly; con fidently, acblevlngly. Two words have come to us out of this war which deserve to live forever in our history. One of these words is "Lafayette, we have come! a word that binds together France and America. Another word is the closing state ment made by a correspondent la his description of a charge made by Am erican soldiers - in a recent battle. "They do the Impossible! They take the hill!' It remains for the church of the Living God to manifest the same spir it of courage end faith and take the Now that the lid is off I xr.i ; BBEAB Is still maintaining itfrposition in4he front li ne of bread products. -.

Red Cross auxiliaries arose in countless numbers In our country, all unselfishly working with the same purpose and Imbued with the same spirit The growth of this humaoitari- aniscialso demanding the well bein of our boys In the camps at home and when they crossed tha waters. This spirit of otherism augurs well for the future. It recogntzes the kinship of the race. It is the spirit of Christ and is born of His inMence upon us. It has prodcued a larger type of men and women -larger in sympathy and their helpfulness. '? . Fifth Side by side with the rev elation .of this humanitarianism is the, onward march; ef moral reform. The drink traffic is doomed. The Judgement of God is upon It. The prayers of suffering wives and child ren are being heard and answered and despite the frenzied acts and cries of its defeated partisans the drink evil ihas been tried In the court of the people and sentenced to complete overthrow. Marching In the parade In Portland In 1910 as we passed a certain point, a specta tor on the sidewalk cried out "Not in a hundred years will you get pro hibition not la-a hundred years. Strange he did not say In a thousand years. They love exaggeration su believe, however, that It Is not quite a hundred years since 1910' and we have had prohibition la Oregon for several years. Our God Is march lng on. The moral. reform also came to expression In. the stringent regula tions adopted for the protection of our tralalng-eoMlers. la-caatonmenis here and abroad, with the purpose jf sending home our boys after the war, not worse, but better than they were when they entered the service, uid 1 am sure has had a measure of success. -1 trace all this back te the nfluence of the Great God of Good ness upon the hearts of some who have been in places of authority and leadership In these days. Godhas Kiven us some men of fine Christian spirit to lead this cation in the cri tical days thaticame upon us. Sixth- And of course we all see the hand of God in the triumph ot right. . The battlisg hosts of Central Eur ope never dreamed of such an end ing to their f ambitious program. It was a world sitting at their feet. acknowledging their dominion, sub mitting to their iron rule with noth- ior left to the conquered but eyes with which to weep. That was their war program. We believed - they could not suc ceed with such a program and th methods they adopted. For uod Is God and right Is right And right the day must win: To doubt would be disloyalty. To falter would be sin. And right won as it always will lltlmately for God is no fallur the God of goodness. The power In the universe that makes for righteousness cannoY per manently tolerate such injustice. Ir due time the forces of evil meet witr 'efeat, and Justice asserts its sway Of this, resurrected Poland and de livered Jerusalem are striking Illus trations. And so the armed batal- lions of Central Europe were bound to be defeated since God is God. Let us be thankful that we as nation had a part In the great victory that boys from Oregon. Washington and California marched with boys from the Atlantic slope and fought td by side with them and jr 1th the armies of France and England and shared with them the glory ot thi wonderful triumph Let us be thankful that God used America gloriously In achieving this end; that the stars and stripes were vplifted by gallant souls con secrated to a sacred cause How much we had missed had the forces 'of rapine and cruelty and ter rorisirt and unrighteousness been put down and America had no part in it. Knowing as we have for some years that we too, were Included in the program of world dominion by '.he war lords ef Central Europe, we rould have been ashamed all the et of our days had we faltered. Of course they could not succeed "or the Eternal God was against hem. Had we not helped they night have created further havoc nd gained further victims but in the 2nd their 'program rould not have succeeded unless God Almighty had abdicated his throne. So back of the forces of England and Belgium and France and Serbia and Italy and America was the Lord of hosts. j "Sing.

The scourge that so recently stalked through our land and called so many dear ones away. has brought the guest ot sorrow whose unwelcome presence throws a shadow over this otherwise glad aening aay. Then too. In how many homes the shadow falls, because In the military camps or on ti e field ot battle have fallen many of our brave boys a sacrifice upon our country's altar.
