Then shall t th yie ber increase, and God, even our own God, shall bless us.” The yenerable ‘tor began by quoting the first sentence of President terant’s proclamation, “The process of the seasons h again enabied the husbandman to garner t fruits of suecesstul toil.” The Psalmist calls upon all people to praise God, and adds, “TI earth sball yield her increase, and God, eve our own God, shall bless us.” 1 hail with pleas- ure the proclamations of President Grant and Governor Cooke—men high in office—and whose suggestions ought to be received and accep: if nothing more, and the blessings sought in th duties performed. Nor are these prociam: | tions a mere cfficial act. On the contrary, the | President and the Governor reverenc: Sabbath day as holy time, and are found in their respective places of worship on Lord’s Day. | Their influence is on tie side of truth and righteousness; not negatively, but po itively. ‘Their contributions out of their means, are made cheerfully and liberally for eburch erection purposes and many other good objects. The Reverend Doctor then acknwol- edged a liberal contribution from Governor ‘ooke and other gentlemen of this city in aid renovating and beautifying his church. ‘The President, in bis proclama.ion, makes the toil of the husbandmen prominent, aud records the ceess, Under our blessed government rople, by the people and for the people,” ee, for the truth has made us free, and pusfree.

Parker, pastor of the Calvary Baptist Church, preached from Jeremiah, 30th chapter, and part of the 2ist verse, “Their no- bles shall be of themselves, and their governor il proceed from the midst of them.” The | reverend doctor set forth in appropriate terms the superior advantages of a republican form of | government and the reasons why, as a peosle, we onght to be grateful for blessings received. AT THE WESTERN PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH, | on H street, bet) 19th and 26th streets north- west, the or, Rev. J. N. Coombs, took his text from the 15th chapter of Hebrews, and 15th : “By him, therefore, let us offer the sac- rifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name.” Our thanksgiving is an expression of gratitude to Almighty God for individual, social, or domestic | and national blessings. The choir, under the direction ot Prof. Townsend, sang an anthem specially composed for the occasion, besides choice selections. | AT tHE Fouxprr M. E. Cuvrcs, at the corner of 14th and G streets, the pastor, Kev. Alexan E. Gibson, gave a “home talk” to bis congregation, taking for his text the 134th Psalm, « Behold, bless ve the Lord, all ye servants of the Lord, which by night stand in the house of the Lord. Lift up your hands in the sanctuarv, and | bless the lord, The Lord that made heaven and | earth best thee ovt of Zion.” In the evening a social reunion was held, which was largely at- | tended.

But no matter how parties may differ we are bound to acknowledge the gocdness of God for individual and national P rity. The congregation was large and the music, which was especially selected tor the oc- casion, very fine. AT THE SouTHERN MetHopist Carn corner of #h and K streets, no special service was held during the day, but in the evening a handsome supper, gotten up by the ladiesof th congregation, was served in the basement of th. chureh. and attended by alarge company. The proceeds were for the benefit of the church, and the affair was a very pleasant one. AT tHe FovetTH-Street M. E. Cava: flivine services were held, and the ir, Kev. W. T. D. Clemm, preached anable sermon from ‘alms xevi, 4d verse : “ Let us come before His sence with thanksgiving.” In the Synagogue. At the Sth street 8; hot jue services were held at three o'clock yesterday afternoon in the pres- ence of a large congregation. The exercises Were opened with a prayer in English by the chazan—Rey. Mr. Goldberg. Then followed a chant of the Psalms of David from the regular service; after which, Rev. Mr. Goldberg deliv- ered a sermon in German. Then followed a reading of the Scriptures, and afterwards a ser- mon in English by Mr. Simon Wolf, who re- ferred to the fact that they had congregated in consonance with their own wishes and Inclina- tions, in obedience to the proclamation of © highest and next honored authority of the and, to offer up their prayers and songs in ham- efulness to the Great Creator for his ld blessings. It was meet and proper asa nation of free and religiously tolerant citizens we should assemble once a year at least to give voice to the emotions of our heart=; we who have so many thousands of real blessings to be grateful for. Man is too apt to forget in the hour of prosperity that adversity is possible. No nation on the face of the earth has. more reason to be supremely grateful than the Amer- ican. It ts here only that the man develops into the full statare of moral and mental manhoo-l, free to enjoy with no restraints his religions = aspirations. But how mueh more gratitude should we, as Israelites, feel on this day of re- joicing i Our ~— are here a com- ponent, equal part of the whole. We worship the God of our fathers as we deem proper and ho one disturbs or offends us. The Jerusalem of our dréams has been reached, and each one is hisown Messiah of redemption.
