EPISCOPAL CHURCHES HOLD UNION SERVICE. Timely Sermon Preached by Archdea- con Brown Thanksgiving Morning. The congregations of Christ and Trinity Bpiscopal churches held a union Thanksgiving service in Christ church on Thursday morning Wwith a large attendance. The sermon was preached by Archdeacon J. Eldred Brown, rector of Trinity Episcopal church, who took as his text I Theso- lonians 5: 18, In everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. To be thankful in everything, said Archdeacon Brown, allows of no ey- ception. It is to be thankful in titie and circumstance of war and circum- stance of peace. Let us then consider together this naming some of the things in this war for which we have reason to be thankful. And first I name the fact that we are, as a coun- try, in this war. It is, T believe, a great reasol for thankfulness that we have taken our stand with the nations which have long Been fighting our battle, fighting for the preservation not only of lib- erty and democracy but of everything we have and cherish. We wko have blessings ‘of freedom and democrac: certainly have no desire to exchange them for the tyrannies of despotism and a military autocracy. But there is much more invelved in i this struggle than a mere change in Fovernment, much as that might mean to free peoples. On the surface this war is a mighty effort on the part &f Germany to extend its boundaries and dominate the world. But, essentially, it is a war of might azainst right, of the flesh agai the spirit. of an outworn and discarded { philosophy of life against all the hu- man ties of civilization. Looking back over the pages of himen history. we see how slowly man has crept up out of savagery and bru- tality unto the requirements and hu- man virtues of our day. It has been a long and a hard climb, but it has also been a successful climb. For as men has reached higher rungs of the ladder he has clung to them and pre- served his gains. For, all along the line, the work has been not of man alone but of God, who has moved and inspired him. Man has by no means as yet reach- ed anvwhere near the top of the lad- der. But at least he has learned to look vpward and to strive onward. Nay. in proportion as he mounts the Jadder he looks with Horror on the thought of going back to the lower rounds which he omce accounted safe and good. Tt is this feeling, I believe. wifch explains the horror with which Ger- man ruthlessness has _inspired the world. z Whe nthe despotism is one that is characterized by such horrors and cruelties as have attended the path of the German army and navy where they have gone, we may well stand amazed and ashast. And in taking our stand azainst this effort we can thankfully believe and say that we are taking our stand.with God as we know Him. But another reason for thankfulness in this war. In the providence of God we have been privileged to swell in a land of great natural resources. By the same providential ordering there has fallen to our lot the great privi- leze of servinz and feeding that part of the world which has borne the brunt of the world's defense against bar- barism. as well as those who have suffered most from the horrors and cruelties of this war. And surely we have reason to be thankful not only for the call and the opportunity, not only for our ewn preservation from the horrors so many of those other peoples have had to suffer, but also for the resources which, through the blessing of God and the willing co- operation of our people are ample, with a little sacrifice on our part, to supply both our own and their necfis. 1s it wholly a matter of chance that our corn crop this year is half a bil- lion bushels in excess of an average crop and our potato crop a hundred million bushels more than the average, and that the same rate of increase ap- plies to practically all other food crops? Nay, with every call to duty, provided the be only the willing mind, there ymes the power to do. America_has been summoned to the duty of feeding her allies and millions of starving and destitute among the suffering peoples of Europe and Asia. Our people have freely offered them- selves for this great service and God as amply provided us with the means. mpared with the sacrifices these other peoples have had to make, our own are, as yet, trivial. Let us be thankful that we have been privileged with so glorious an opportunity. Yet another reason for thankfulness 1s the fact that we have been able to take our part in this war wit hso little domestic disturbance and so Kttle ran- cor or hatred. 'We may be thankful again that we have entered this war simply as a matter of principle and that we are determined to conduct our part of it, so far as may be, in a clean and knightly fashion. Never did 2 na- tion take more pains to surround its soldiers and sailors with a clean and wholesome environment. It is an worthy ambition not only to have our soldiers and sailors fight cleanly and bravely against the external ememy, but just as bravely against the ene- mies of lust, hate and drink which may mssail them from within. Finally, as I believe, we have rea- son to be thankful that this war, so long threatened and prepared for by Germany, has come about. That of course, may seem strange and imcred- ible. But let me explain. As we know now from incontestable the world has unremittingly for many years, been cherishing a viper within its bosom; a viper all the time it was wearing the appearence of a dove and accepting the fa- SERGT. DUNN HEARD BY NEW LONDONERS! Gives Vivid Description of War on the French Battlefields. Sergt. James Dunn of the Roval Canadian regiment, American legion, who is at his home in New London on sick leave, nursing 1S wounds and a eracked skull. was one of the speak- ers at the annual Thanksgiving eve roll call and banquet of Niagara En- gine company, New London. He gave a vivid description, based on experi- ence, of the horrors of war on the French battlefields. He also remind- ed his hearers that he, too, was a for- mer volunteer fireman as a memper of the hook and ladder eompany in his tive Greeneville.

Christian Faith the Foundation of Gratitude, Said Rev. H. J. Wyckoff at Union Se: The union Thanksgiving service of the central churches was held Thurs- day morning at the Trinity Methodist church. There was a larze number of the members of the various churches Present. Assisting at the service was Rev. Arthur F. Purkiss, Central Bap- ist church: Rev. J. H. Newland, Trin- ity Methodist; Re Joseph F. Cobb, Church of the Good Shepherd; Rev. H. J. Wyckoff, Second Congregaticzvl church; Rev. William Crawford, Bean Hill Methodist church; Rev. . S. Worcester. Broadway Congregation: church; Rev. G. H. Ewing, XNorwich Town Congregational church, and Rev, E. J. Ayers. The governor's proclama- tion was read by Rev. J. F. Cobb. The offering of the day was given to the relief of the Asyrian and Ar- menian war suffexers. Mrs. William Crowe, Jr., sang the offertory and also a solo, The Thanksgiving address was made by Rev. H. J. Wyckoff, pastor of the Second Congregational church, who took his text from the 13th verse of the 23d Psalm. In his address Rev. Mr. Wyckoff said in part: A proclamation calling for Thanks- giving at this time would be a mock- ery if it were mot for the Christian faith that exists in the hearts of all of us. In this time of trouble, with our boys being taken from us and sent to war, the high cost of the necessities of life, the constant demands _for money, would all seem hardships if it was not for that eame faith that en- ables us to see not the things that are just in front of us but the good that will come from these same hardships later on. We have many things to be grateful for. While we have felt the scareity of food, we haye not experi- enced intense hunger. and for that we should give thanks. There is a short- age of coal, but we manage to keep warm. We ghould give thanks for all these things. There gre many things that seem hardships on the face but if one looks beyond he can see the everlasting good that will come. We are asked to give, and we should be thankful that we are able to give. It is the Christian faith that enables us to see the things that are beyond There is a sayving that seeing is be- ‘eving, but with the help of the Christfan faith we transpose this say- ing to mean the truth is believing to see.
