Dr. Corey Says It Lies in a Wise, Cul- vared, Christian Citizenship. Atthe Metropolitan Methodist Church this morning the Rev. Dr. Geo. H. Corey preached on “The Hope of the Republic,” taking for his text, “This people have I formed for myself. They +hall show forth My praise,” Isaiah xliii:21, He said God ordained nations, and that noth- ing was more obvious than the indelibleness of national characteristics. God's mission toward the American republic was the political educa- tion of the people, and to elaborate a faultless civil polity and toexalt and magnify the indi- vidual, Central to the life and glory of the republic is the character of its citizenship. This is the true foundation of national greatness. In the old world, where the wealth of inherited influ- ences make all dignity center in the power of the family and the majesty of the state, the citizen dwindles into insignificance. But here, where the individual, with bis rights and dutios—his grounds of self-respect and of fitness to be the unit and measure of all institu- tions, laws und customs—the citizen is the vital | God for bis people and with bi the cold, the hungry, the sick, the touny of Bibles and feligiae itersture and religious lite pen of those who preach and teach und for the erection of byildings for | Christian work. | The members of our church hate just com- | pleted the pledging and giving of $10,000 that the carly spring we may begin the erection of “a house unto the name of the Lord oar Some have really believed God and found it more blessed to give than to receive. THE SECOND COMING OF CHHIST. 3. Areadinessand dosire for the second coming of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. The number of God’s people who accept, bold and people have wonderfully increased. No unregenerate be- ing not influenced by the Holy Ghost and the teachings of the Book of God would desire the return of the King of Kings and the end of this age. No one knows just when He, the Christ, will come, but those who have made progress in di- vine things are longing for the presence of the glorified Prophet of Nazareth. The saints de- gire the coming of the Savior that they may see Him and be made perfect as He is perfect. “We know that, when He shall appear, wo shall be like Him; for we shall xce Him as He is” (I Jobn, iti:2.) Recently, after a sermon on the second com- ing of the Lord, one whose growth in grace bas been deep and permanent because of the blessed hope of the Christ's coming approached me, and, taking my hand, said in subdued tones: “Even so come, Lord Jesus, come quickly.” Can you echo that petition culled from Revcla~ tion? M May we possess tho fullness of the Holy Spirit. May the Holy Spirit possess us, that we may be thankful for all blessings, especially in spiritual ones, and be found praying, watch- ing, working and waiting until He comes. DR. STAKELY'S ADDRESS. Dr. Stakely, following Dr. Greene and Mr. WHAT THE PRESIDENT HEARD. The Thankegiving Sermon at the Church of the Covenant. The President, accompanied by Mra. McKee and Mr. and Mrs. Ruseli B. Harrison, at- tended services this morning at the Church of the Covenant. There was a good congre- gation present and the sermon of the pastor, Rev. Dr. Hamlis was listened to by a @evout and attentive audience. The pulpit platform was appropriately adorned with autumn flowers, and as a ditting type of the waning year 4 sheaf of wheat, with a by of eare of corn still in their shuck, formed « part ©f the decorations, While the congregation ved with fine ir, with beauti! variations, ffertory the air, “O say can you see,” was rendered in good style, with va- Tiations Dr. Hamlin’s sermon was a clear and ef. fective presentation of the theme selected for the occasion, based on the fourth chapter of second Corinthians d the fifteenth verse, which was that all thi ngs work for good. He spoke of the wignificance of the day and its general observance wherever the American flag floats and wherever an American citizen bappened to be. The spirit of the day was thankfulness to God for blessings received during the year. It was a day when ailies came together, when the poor are especially re- membered and when even the inmates of pris ons and asylums are mad something of the cheer which fills the of men.

Hez Swem spoke from the following texts: James, i:17—Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above.” Ephesians, ¥:20— ving thanks alvy . for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.” American citizenship, besaid, through | birth and the one and twenty years of ' waiting, | or naturalization, is one of our best blessings. Standing on foreign islands and foreign main- | lands Ihave proudly answered, “Yes, i'm an American,” and Ihave thrice ‘returned to my native land to thank God for placing me in the occident and in the America. However great the privilege and joys of the century's citizenship in the country of coun- tries, our spiritual blessings surpass them in number and value. Some time in the yester- days the Hoiy Spirit gave our souls the divine touch, turned out the old and installed the new and permanent tenante, repentance and faith, and completed the transtormation into “new creatures in Christ Jesus,” God's daughters and God's sons. While there is much cause for gratitude we are saddened and humiliated by the deplorable ‘orldliness of many in the churches. The divide mind has mentioned the characteristics of this age: “Lovers of self, lovers of the world. lavers of pleasure, more than levers of God and and godliness” —indications of intense worldli- ness. Instead of the west conquering the east for Christ oriental falxehoods have floated west- ward, andl isms innumerable. born of satanic influence, are heard by multitudes whose minds are reudy to ‘believe a lie. ‘Turn from the deplorable to the delightful. REASONS FOR THANKFULNESS. We should offer thanksgiving to God for the salvation of some of the lost. Preachers and writers are emphasizing the “new” theology jand the “oid” theology, but the majority in | Baptist pulpite are preaching the “gospel of the grace of God.” God has blessed His word, and reports reach us through the secular and religious press from all parts of the United States of souls saved in the regular and special services.

CHRISTIANITY AND PROGRESS. Rev. Mr. Bispham’s Thanksgiving Sermon at St. John’s Today. Rev. Clarence Wyatt Bispham delivered the Thanksgiving day sermon at St. John’s today. His text was, “Ob, give thanks unto the Lord, for He is gracious and His mercy endureth for- ever.”"—Psalm cxxxvi:l. There is one day in the Chaistian year. said the minister, when church and state, separated by the jealousies of civil and ecclesiastical an- thoritie-, join hands and together proclaim gratitude and thanksgiving to the Lord God of Hosts. And there is just reason. for. while the scales of evil have been heavily loaded with the fruits of man’s passion, vet the golden seale of'mercy weighs down yet deeper in the balance and a mere sense of ihe evernai fitness of things, if nothing else, would suggest a mercy toward us will endure for- ever, it follows that. the history of civisization | will show forth the increasing striving after that whic. is more Christian and holy, so that we can better approach the eternal glories fesus Christ, has in «tore for those whose lives aro progressing toward God's grea: goal—heaven. And so, while it is meet and fit to rejoice in this our day of thanks for the temporal and spiritual mercies which | church and state have together received, yet | let this day take on a deeper menning—let us | thank God for His everlasting mercy in that it | means everlast.ng progress. In these few mo- | ments let it be our task to examine this law Our Psalm, then, heard first from the sanctuary of King David's temple at Jerusalem, is the da sprung from on high—is the echo of one of the powerful watchwords of society, which are the rallying points of the thoughts and the activities of mankind. such’ an idea of God's mercy bas bad its effect upon every decade of American citizens, “And not only is America an heir of this mercy. All the civitized world are co-heirs and equ: law of progress isan incentive which acts man's goad. The realization of our wish is the father to our further desire. THE DANGER OF THE AGE. But in the midst of our prosperity there is one terrible danger. Men are in danger of for- getting the glorious meaning of the words of our text, for they sing a beautifnl song to other words, and it is something like this—O give | thanks unto man, for he is glorious and his acts will last forever.” Man then becomes the Christ of a new theology, who, crowned with the roses spread at his fect by popular opinion, sits on his throne like some pagan god «miling his ap- roval at the homage and thanks given him. Ee: many more songs like this be sung and the great law, which is God given, will surely react upon itself. There is ne such thing as stopping these two runners who press eagerly toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. They cannot stop. It is against human law and it is against divine nw. Either they must go forward or else hand in hand they will begin to go back. Either the rong of the world must ring more loud in this case for the glory of God or it must sound tainte and yet more faint and the song of man must reign triumphant. To make man re- sponsible to bis brother man for gifts which are from heaven is to make a reaction against the Progressive zeal of Christ our Lord in human society. That will carry us back to the de spair of a pagunized philo-ophy, and thep in yy ime, with the decline of Christianity, will civilization be swept away to the lusts of a somety without control — — Does the song in God’s praise or that in praise of man for what he has done ring in our hearts to- day? Can we not see that America filled with rist’s prezence is imitable for doing all - bie good?
