WELL ATTENDED
Rev. Elbert H. Hicks Delivers
Strong Sermon Yesterday
Subject "Thanksgiving".
FIRST THANKSGIVING DAY
IN AMERICA IS RECALLED
Prosperity, of This; Country
Since Early Days Reviewed
By Local Pastor.
Continued from Friday, Nov. 29,
Hundreds of Albany people attend
ed the union Thanksgiving services
which were held at 10:30 o'clock yes
terday morning at the Christian
church.
The sermon this year was delivered
by the Rev. Elbert H. Hicks, who re
cently assumed the pastorate of the
First Baptist church of this city. Rev.
Hicks' subject was "Thanksg'.ing,"
and he chose as his text "Therefore
he sacrificeth unto his net, and burn
cth incense into his drag; because by
them his portion is fat, and his food
plenteous." Hab. 1:16.
Rev. Hicks told of the first Ameri
can Thanksgiving at Plymouth in
1621 and of how Governor Bradford
sent out four men to search for fowl;
how in one day they secured enough
game to last the company a week and
of the feast that followed, which was
attended by Massasoit and ninety of
his braves, who contributed several
deer to the feast.
According to Gov. Bradford's jour
nal turkeys were also included in the
feast. Rev. Hicks then told of the
first Thanksgiving Day in Boston in
1631. A day of fasting had been nam
ed but the governor changed the day
of fasting to be kept as one of Thanks
giving on Feb. 22, his action bein
based upon the arrival of the "Lion, '
a vessel which brought supplies from
England including beef, pork, oatmeal,
peas, cheese and butter which were
distribied among the 600 people ac
cording to their needs.
Rev. Hicks said that the New Eng
land people were never in immediate
danger of starving as wild game was
plentiful as well as fish, oysters .and
clams, but that the men of New Eng
land were Godly men and never ac
cepted physical comfort or luxuries
without thanking God for it.
Rev. Hicks told of the increasing
prosperity of our country since the
Pilgrims landed. He quoted Nebu
chadnezzer as bejng the type of the
prosperous man 'in the olden times
and said that success was his chief
distinction. "Prosperity is the gift of
God," said Rev. Hicks, "and this is
also true of nature.
"Nature is a system or an economy
of things not original, not self-sufficient,
but dependent upon and direct
ed by a supreme intelligence. Na
ture is but the name for an effect
whose cause is God.
"1 like to think of nature as God's
storehouse. His wealth is treasured
in earth, sea, and sky. The generous
soil awaits plow and spade to be tick
led into smiling plenty and to laugh
nut loud in harvest. The sea is full
of God's riches, teeming with finncy,
glistening life, ready to reward hardy
sons of the sea with a generous share
of "fisherman's luck." Careering
clouds carry m their fleecy forms,
f:itnrss for le.-if and root.
"1 like to think of nature as God's
machine. It is His laboratory. God
himself operates the mighty mechan
ism, ordering the procession of the
seasuns and making all things fulfill
his sovereign will.
"I like to think of nature as the
domain of man. A domain, however,
to be wop. Its best gifts are condi
tioned upon toil and skill and patience.
The golden key to nature's treasury
is work. Nature is a coy and dainty
maiden holding a rich dowry; but to
be won, the only wooing demanded
must be done by a stalwart, sinewy,
suitor named industry. So in business
prosperity is the gift of God.
Rev. Hicks devoted considerable
time to prosperity in business and
prosperity in the church and his ser
mon, which was one of the best de
livered in Albany for some time, was
greatly appreciated by the congrega
tion. Rev. Hicks was assisted by the
ministers of the various churches of
the city and special music was fur
nished. Fred Arnold and family will leave
Sunday for Los Angeles and other
points in California where they will
spend the winter months.
THE FRIENDLESS SPIDER.
Hs's a Pretty Good Insect In Spite of
His Looks and His Webs.
Aside from snakes, there Is probably
no living thing which can look to man
kind for friendship with so little hope
as the spider, yet when the spider is
fairly brought to trial It Is rather bard
to prove anything ngnlust blm except
bis appearance and a few cobwebs.
Apart from furnishing an example
of Industry and patience from which
we might well profit, the spider feeds
exclusively upon freshly killed Insects,
all of tbem being of the kind denounc

NORTH ALBANY TRACTS ARE !
IN FERTILE PART OF BENTON j
Seven Hundred Acres of Rich
Orchard and Garden Land Is
. Placed on the Market.
The city editor of the Democrat
enjoyed an automobile ride yesterday
afternoon through the fertile agricul
tural section of North Benton county
in company with Owen Beam, 13. J.
Meeker, and V. L. Jackson to the
North Albany tracts which are on
sale by Beam and Hecker, local real
estate dealers.
The roads through the hills of
North Albany are iri excellent con
dition for this time of the year and
an automobile has no difficulty in
that part of Benton county.
The tract of land which has been
placed on the market by Beam &
Hecker contains 700 acres in the most
fertile section of Benton county,
three miles northwest of this city;
and has been divided into five and
ten-acre tracts. ( The land is well
drained and is composed of several
grades of soil including beaver dam,
red hill No. 1, and sandy loam.
Roadways have been constructed
through the property, over 35 acres
having been dedicated to Benton
county for roads. The surveys of the
Fortland, Eugene and Eastern Ry.
pass through the property which will
be but six minutes ride from Albany
when the road is in operation.
The soil in the North Albany
tracts is especially adapted to onions,
berries, pears anil apples, aud many
other varieties of fruits and vegeta
bles. With the completion of the
railroad from this city to Wellsdale.
that section will undoubtedly become
one of the greatest fruit and garden
districts in the state.
SPARKS FROM THE WIRE
i e
London, Nov. 26. A majority of
the ministers at Constantinople favor
continuing the war, according to a
dispatch from the Turkish capital to
the Standard. THh eminister of war
has been ordered not to accept the
Bulgarian proposal, but to wait fresh
instructions.
London, Nov. 26. The danger of a
greater war' than that between the
Balkan states and Turkey absorbs
public interest far more than the first
bout of diplomacy between the bel
ligerents. The steps toward mobilization
which Austria and Russid are taking,
although only preliminary precau
tions, have made possible a vision of
the vast consequences, which as far
as Great Britain is concerned are con
sidered nothing less than appalling.
Oroville, Cal., Nov. 26. By a deal
completed here today S. H. P. Eakle,
of Sacramento, who is the leading
grower of hops in the Feather River
bottom lands near this city, sold his
entire crop of 41 acres to Wolf Net

price was $16,500. The hops were sold
tor immediate delivery.
I. S. Marks, a buyer who has in
spected the crop, declares the hops
grown in the Feather River bottom
to be equal to the best grown in the
state and that the crop trom the
ranch was heavier than in other sec
tions. A larger tract will be planted
next season.
Hamilton, Bermuda, Nov. 26. The
president-elect and Mrs. Wilson and

cars and fV) refrigerator cars, ac
cording to George T. Reid, assistant

into service as last as they are avail
able.
The shippers of the Northwest have
responded splendidly to the u ca for
co-operation issued early in the fall by
President Howard Elliott and the
Northern Pacific has had less trouble
this year in handling the crop move
ment than ever before, said .Mr. Reid.
He estimates that 45 per cent of tbe

San Francisco, Nov. 26. Obeying
the orders ot his employer, H. 11
Hart of Oakland, James Litz, a cauf
feur ran a $4,500 automobile off the
rear of a ferry boat in San Francisco
Bay yesterday.
Hart's desire to "drown" the offend
ing automobile was reached after it
had rolled up a repair bill amounting
to $2,000. Yesterday he called Litz
into his library.
"Take that car out and lose it," he
said.
"I can't lose it," replied Litz.l "It's
too well known; somebody would find
it and bring it back again."
"Then sink it in the middle of the
bay," said Hart.
For the first time in weeks the car
ran smoothly to the ferry. When well
out Litz pulled wide the throttle and
leaped to the deck, The automobile
splashed into the bay.

Good taste avoids the flaunting of

to be a lost ono, yet there Is not any

surely betrays breeding.
To Interrupt Is to 1 rndo. no mat

one wishes to say It To carry on a
porfoctly well bred conversation with

a proof that one has been taught po

It has boon sold, and possibly with n
groat grain of truth, that n roomful of
women will all talk at onco, yet there
Is nobody to set them a Imttor ex
ample, as men are worse With rau
cous voice and ninny times a lot of
perfectly useless adjectives they tnke
many a precious moment to say whnt
could be said with n great deal less
noise and a great deal more dignity.
Of course to converse does not mean
just talking. It means saying so mo
th Inn well worth while, and this really
the test A hostess' tins a right to
expect ber guest to "make conversa

Is not at all desirable. This Is where
the low voice and soft erpressh;i have

often both nro lost In the doslre to
make oneself heard abore all others.
Current topics of the day are al
ways safo subjects. Best let personal
mstters alone. It Is better taste and
therefore better breeding unless one
l well acquainted with one's neighbor
and can any anything without fear of
repetition making mischief. To talk
only of fashions Is a mistake. To
talk of mutdc to a musician may be
also a mistake unless ono la fully ac

history to a historian will not do; he
knows a great deal mom than can be

thing one does no particularly like

Thanksgiving day in Albany was a

the big dinner which had been in
course of preparation for the past few

fine turkey dinner of eight courses
and the dining room at that popular
hostelry was crowded from the time
the doors were opened at 5:30 o'clock
until they closed three hours later.
The tables at the Revere were very
attractive in their drVss of snowy
white linen and silverware while each
table was made doubly attractive bv
a boquet of pink carnations.
The St. Kraneis hotel served a
splendid dinner of nine courses from
5:30 o'clock until 8 o'clock, Manager
Weslbrook and his estimable wife

Was Thanksgiving day more than
eating? The spiritual part is the big
gest in the long run.
Did you stuff?
A splrndtd thing is the fellowship
of the day, bringing people together
socially in a manner long to he re

but the splendid record of his life,
a clean vne, is what counts with
Uncle Jimmy Hlakely.
Of course there will always be
blind pigs somewhere, theft some
where, murder somewhere; but, just
the same, wc need strong laws against
them, which it is the business of offi

force, and the people to back them.
