Following is the eerruon delivered by
Rev. A. A. Beery, pastor of the Valley
Chrisitan church, Thanksgiving day,
November 26, 1903:
The day set apart for Thanksgiving is
not on account of legislation but be
cause of public pressure or sentiment.
It was and is so fitting for a Christian
nation, after the harvest has been gath
ered, to thank Him who is the giver of
nil good for blessings showered upon
us during the past year. -Remembering
that every good gift and every per
fect boon is from "above, coining down
from the Father of Light. Perhaps it
is not then that the one In authority Is
religious nor desirous of offering praise
to God, nor even a believer. It is the
outburst of Christians throughout the
l:iiid praising God from whom all bless
ings flow.
(Shall I enumerate today some of the
things, the larger blessings, that we as
a nation should be thankful for, and
"sing unto the Lord a new song and
lis praise in the congregation of the
saints?"
I speak of liberty, and liberty as only
a free and Independent people have it.
The Roman lawyers said: "Liberty Is

jthe power (authority) of doing that
wnicn is not 101 bidden ny Jaw, and
that whatever may please tUe ruler has
the force of law." The French say:
"Liberty is equality, and eqality is lib
erty." The Germans my : "Liberty or
justice, nir wnere mere is justice there
is liberty, and liberty is nothing else
than justice." lint the Roman simply
meant that man is not a slave. The
French equality may mean stagnation
and death. The German makes equiv.
alent two things which no definition
can reconcile. But American liberty
means the enjoyment of high civil
privileges and rights. It means a gov
ernment of the people, by the people,
for the people. Utterly abused Is a
curse even among a free and independ
ent people. There must be a limit tbeu
to even religious liberty. Chief Justice
Waite, in rendering the decision of the
supreme court of the United States in
the only case in which the government
bus undertaken to define the limits of
religious liberty, where congress pro
hibited polygamy in the territory of
Utah, said: "Lnws are made for the
government of actions, and while they
can not interfere with religious belief
and opinions, they may witli practices.
As a law of the organization of society
under the exclusive dominion of the
United Stales, it Is provided that plural
marriages shall not be allowed. Can a
man exercise his practices to the con-'
trury liecause of his reliitious belief? To,
permit this would lie to make the pro
fessed doctrine of religious belief supe
rior to the law of the land, and In effect

Yours truly,

we have laws whose deepest roots spring
f nm morality, but those laws must be
obeyed. The obedience to law ana ine
punishment of the lawbreaker is divine.
Education, morality and religion have
j;i ven us a code of laws that are perhaps
not equaled on the globe. If we have
a government by the people and at the
Mine time have laws that are not what
t hey ought to be, it is prima facie evi
dence that the people are at fault.,
In the hands of the people our legis
lation has been restricted until liberty
and protection have come to bless m
God-loving people; ana tor mis ao we
give thanks unto the God of glory and
praise the Almighty Father. Wethank
Him for life, liberty and the pursuit of
happiness. This we can not have un
der the Greek idea, which is to deify
person ; neither under the Roman,
which is law of Individual. The Greeks
worshipped wisdom without seeing: the
true. The Rowau saw the abstract
trutti and then- created civil Jurispru
dence. Bub tba American, purely
American, born on American soil, be
gotten by the principles or Christianity,
trave the law of liberty to man as man;
announced the ultimate authority of
both state and man ; liberty, the gift of
divine win.
God by Inspiration seems to have
made Paul the constitutional law-
writer, because of which Christianity
has become historically, and by judicial
precedent, the common law of our na
tion. Hence" we have our boasted re
publican form of government, where
law is liberty ana citizenship is inde
pendence. A government where only
the people make it possible for iu exist
ence. A government which can be
traced to Scandinavian origin, with
the principles deepening, broadening
and lengthening in the Fnglisli or, if
you please, the Saxon commonwealth
of England. A country where the state
was the commonwealth. A country
where its system of Jurisprudence was
the common law, where the general
tribunal its common pleas; and where
finally in religious succession we And
I lie common prayer. A country with
constitution unwritten. But we praise
God today for our written constitution.
Wethank Him for the Declaration of
Independence. We thank Him for the
genius, the design and the form of our
government. We thank him that the
three depart men t men ts, legislative, Ju
dicial and executive, are essentially
Christian. We thank Him that we
r cognize the fact that "all men are cre
ated equal."
Some one has said: "Education is the
only sure foundation that can be de
vised for the preservation of freedom
and happiness." With that idea, the
American free-school system soon be
gun to grow in favor with the people.
The common school, as we understand
it and have it, unknown to the a in
dents, is a power for our development
and protection. And rapidly are we
learning that the cultivation of the
head to the neglect of the heart is a
mistake. Studying the question care
fully, we And- that education and
Christianity go' hand in band. The
origin of the common school was in
the Christian church. The leiders li
the reformation saw its importance!
Martin Luther established a free-school
system. It was no stranger to the
Scotch reform. It was in Switzerland
and not unknown In Prussia. But iti
these United States we have the corul
pletent and most successful free school
f
!
OSIER'S GROCERY
on the globe. We praise Ood, then, lo-
oay lor the orinolDies or education in
Hie Bonk. We thank Him for the. op
portunity, of a Christian education.
And may we understand more and
more that without a Christian educa
tion our learning Is In "vain. May God
speed the day when the Book,' the
Bible, will again take its place in the
school room. Education has taught us
to understand more deeply Jesus' words
when he said; "No diuh can serve two
masters." "' '
The picture I now draw may be a
dark .one, and some may think it nut
of place on a Thanksgiving" day. But
the sweet is sweeter after tasting of the
sour. The light seems lighter after
passing through the dark. No one can
be so stirred as he who sees the facts.
A young man upon his return from the
Klondike, in rejMirting his trip. In part
said : "When we landed off the steamer
we found only a sandbar for teu miles
back, with no- prospect for a settle

later, we found a city ol 10,000 Inhab
itants. It sprang up us if in a night.
We also found that that always follows
civilisation the saloon; and three
fourths of the business bouses In that
city were saloons." We recall our land
