BULLETIN WILLIMANTIC OFFICE Telephtone 552-2 23 Choreh St £ The Theaksgiving Community service of the Protestant churches of the city, held Thursday morning at 9 o'clock at the First Congregational ehureh house, was well attended in spite of weather conditions and handicaps for travel. Tho fheeting was opened by Rev. Har- ry 8. McCready, pastor of the First Con- gregational church, who read the Thanks- giving proclamation of Gov. BEverett J, Lake. The scripture lesson was read by Rev. Arthur D, Carpenter, pastor of the First Baptist. church, and prayer was offered by Rev. Walter ¥. Borehert, rec- tor of St. Paul's Episcopal chureh. The morning sermon was delivered by Rev. John Pearce, pastor of the First Methodist Episcopal church, his topic be- ing A Great Nation. He sald in sub- stance: ‘We know in our hearts what America means. The problem is to teach it to our fellows; to share with them an under- standing and an eppreeiating of it. We wish to build & zation fit to serve; & na- tion that does not fiad it end in its own aggrandizement, however great that may be; » nation that does not its and Celt, Teuton and Slav, Latin and Hun, are all hers not as aliens but as oitizens; not &s immigrants but as mem- bers 0f a body pelitic which i3 new in coneeption in human history, as it is new in i own thought of its high purpose. Can America integrate itself at this crisis ; ean it show, that here is a nation which, out of various and varied ele- ments, can be brought into & genuine unity by devetion to high principle and by moral purpcse before the face of all mankind? Can we make an America that shall go dewn the corridors of time with & proud place on the pages of history? America spells “Man.” With all our boast of demeocracy are we not slow to grasp the meaning of patriotism and ob- ligation? In the light of our spiritual history dare we say that we are loving God above everything alse on earth? The practical structure of which true life is made; {s not crushed and neglected while we really worship the god of pleas- ure and the plague of avaricious Qesire? In our dally toil are not the vast majority allowing business cares and the smoke of the shop to shut out completely the God of our security and heaven from our lives? Though we boasi of our imstitutions, we are living in a very riot of material ism where the church and Christian's ob: ligation are forgotten in a mad rush fo: amusement and idle gossip of the hour. The old fable which talked of soils sown with the teeth of dragons looks like reality in a land which ought to be the safest and happlest on earth. Legions of unseen troubles are hoveri around us, ready for a dash like the formidable cavalry of the days of Haggai. Robberies, murders, defalcations, divorces, are de- talls of every morning, Thers is a spirit of dissatisfaction and discontent through- out the land. Now here is the situatien of perii facing this nation. Our fathers paid for clivil liberty and equal rights with their blood and treasure, and we are being engulfed with greed. and forgetting the common brotherhood of mutual helpful- ness, Many of our boasted Americans are poor in patriotiem, weak character, and rich only in dollars and cents. That, Igenil-m of Hamilton, the keen human in- safe than moparchy. sacred; man made in the image of his it e = i sight and sympathy of = Jefferson, the patient wisdom of Lincoin, will not have been In vain in teaching us what our country is and may become. Shall we ocatch sight of semething ‘higher than selfishness, higher than ma- terlal gain, higher than the triumph of brute force which alone can lead & na-~ tion up to those high places that become smered in history. and from which infla- ence descends in a mighty torrent to re fresh, to vivify, and inepire all mankind. This great nation demands greater men The man of action must support the man of thought. And in the world's history, behind the philosepher and the stafes- mén, stands the chureh, the inspiration of God. We talk and think much about democ- racy, but democracy in itself is no more It is man that is Creator, ‘I wish I could foree that truth into the brain of every man, woman and child, for in /it and from it comes only conception of . true greatness and good government. We cannot serve God and man by proxy- ‘What this nation needs is not glorifica- tion but*salvation. What our own town needs today is applied personality In willing and noble service on the altars of patriotiem and religion. It is well for is to remember that by the constant, un- flagging efforts of Washington's soldlers there were established not only our own freedom but the freedom of France and the democratic sovereignty of Greal PBritaln And I thing sometimes English liberty is American independence. For democracy America stands; signal- Iy before the nations, we arc to chasten, uphold, defend that idea, wide as the earth and deep as the sea. Let us set our house in order, as we cannot evade the duty and we dare not sell the blessing. To retreat, to retract. will be to relin- quish the glorious opportunity of which this great nation is a trastwe, not to e ploit a continent, but to uplift a world, Is it not émough to make our cheeks flush with honest pride when we remem- ber God and lfberty 1z our birthright? Christ is our Leader, a we hear the shout of hundreds of millions shaking the very earth in homor of the guns of Lex- ington. In His name, Son of Man and Son of God, the Great Emancipator has power to execute judgment upon all op- pression. May He lead and save rur country and the world by the light di- vine, ‘There is mo way in which @ man ean do =0 much for his country as being known as a consitent Christlan. Every true patriot should be a follower of Christ. You ask me how to save our country? By plying moral and religious forces mightily. By being men true to ourselves, true to our God, and then we shall be true to our country. And so shall the leaven of Christ's doctrine of human brotherhood tend more and more toward its longed-fo rconsum- mation. The realization of the divine ideal in the affairs of men; when it may be said not on at an injury to one is to be the concern of all but that the good of X concern of everyone, Dl bbbl P ottt it o Brief News, Mr. and Mrs. Frank L.
