LIFE FULL OF GOOD THINGS Thanksgiving Themes Point Moral that Ex- istenoe is Worth Whil UNION SERVICES HELD THROUGHOUT CITY Bishop Willlams Repeats the Opti- mistic Views of David nnd Pagan Philosophers—Reviews of Other Discourses, The people of Omaha gathered at the sanctuaries in various parts of the city yesterday to acknowledge the blessings of a year happily passed. Many of the Protes- tant churches evinced a fraternal spirit and beld meetings in common, addressed as a general rule by the pastor most recently come among them. Each speaker took a most cheerful view of the twelvemonth left behind and were equally sanguine as to the future. The attractiveness of the services were added to by special musical numbers. Right Rev. Arthur L. Williams, bishop coadjutor, preached the Thanksgiving ser- mon at St. John's Episcopal church. The text was from Psalms, vixxill: “Thou shalt prepare a table before me against them that trouble me. Thy kind mercies shall follow me all the days of my life.”” The in- tended lesson was that there is much to live for in spite of the trials which somet BIVo rlse to questioniug life's purpose. Tak- ing David as the fittest type of a life's ex- periences, the bishop pointed out that (his great character's chief message (0 man is the beneficence of life. “Studying David's development, starting when he was an adventurous lad,” said the blshop, “and following along his carcer from warrior to military commander, to statesman, poet, king, sinner and saint, we #ee that he tested human experience at overy point, and yet pronounced it good. On Thanksgiving we are called upon to con- front lite's experience and promounce upon it. We believe that we have something to be thankful for and someone to thank. From the facts of life we know the belief 18 true, and 5o we come together, recogniz- ing our lmitations, our infirmities and our 8lns to praise God for the gooduess that follows us all the days of our life. History does mot tell of a man who suffered more than David, and he based his judgment on the same facts as the Christians do when he found that lifo Is not pur this {8 true thanks can be given only to a personal god, not to a principle or a law. Plato's Cause for Thanks, “Plato, the great Greeclan philosopher, once said that he had three blessings to be thankful for. First of all, that he was a man and not a beast, that he was & Greek and mot & barbariau, and that he was a philosopher. Now we also have three great causes to be thankful as we assemble today to express our gratitude. We should be thankful that we are born in the present age and century—that we are permitted to enter lite's activities at the present time. We should be thankful, moreover, becaus we are American citizens, because if the country follows divine guidance, taking the teachings of the past, and not drifting awa trom recognized principles, it is destined to be greatest among nations. The third reason why we should feel grateful is that we are not only American citizens, but that we are citizens in the church of God. “Over the three arches of a cathedral in Milan are carved three truths which seem to me to be those most worth remembering always. One is: ‘Al that which pleases 1s only for the moment.’ Another: ‘All that which troubles is only for the mo- ment.! The last is: ‘That alone is which 1s eternal.’ ' Degeneration of the Day, The churches of Kountze Place combined nes for Thanksglving service, the place of meet- ing being the Trinity Methodist church, at the corner of Twenty-first and Binney streets, Rev, F. A. Hatch of Plymouth Congregational church delivered the sermon. He prefaced his remarks by expressing his gratification over the success of the united meeting. He belleved the church was not werely a place to patronize, but a place to fraternize. Dr. Hatch, in speaking of Thanksglving day, deprecated the degeneration of the day. From the Thanksglving of the Pil- grims to the day of political sermons and athletics was a far cry. Christian men and women should fill the day with thoughts of gratitude and thanksgiving. Many of us had undoubtedly met with seeming mis- fortunes during the year, but the blessings that have come to us from God, in His in- finite wisdom, were the victorles of life for which we should ever be thankful. It the Leavenly Father gives us burdens to bear which make our lives seem blighted at times, let us consider that His multitudi- nous benefactions give us the victorious life for which we must be eternally gratetul An excellent musical program was fur- nished by the cholr of Knox Presbyterian church. On American Toples. It was purely an American sermon, on American topics, delivered by Dean Camp- bell Fair at Trinity cathedral. The dean took no text, but opened his remarks by saying that the object of Thanksgiving day was to thank divine providence for the blessings of the year. “And, truly,” sald the speaker, “this nation has abundant cause for such gratitude. We have fed Europe, and the exports of the United States in almost every particular far outrank the imports. The busine today is a wonder and a phenomenon in its extent and solidity in every department of the commerclal world. “If it be asked, ‘What has this great republic done?" we answer, ‘It has tilled the soll, worked the mines, plowed the deep scanned the heavens, ruled 75,000,000, con- | quered Spain,, treed Cuba, annexed the Phil- ippines.’ It T am asked again what more is to be done, 1 reply that every American should be eager to remove impurities and evils from our beloved country “There are real reforms which may be offected, and Americans must strive for moral development as well as for material prosperity. New York today is experiencing this fact and upon the initiative of Bishop Potter Is making a united struggle along moral lines in which even the efforts of Tammany hall are engaged. “The sweat shops, the long hours of labor and the present system for the employment of shop girls should be suppressed. Already steps are being taken In this respect and it will be accomplished. A sacredness should surround Sunday in the minds of the Amer- ican people in & manner which Is now ab- sent. The Actors' alllance, of which T am chaplain, has asked me to do all I can to discourage the attendance of the public at Sunday theatricals so that Sunday may be a day of rest. I conjure you to do mothing to add to the labors of these people.” TRAINS COLLIDE AT HARLEM Two Burlington Regulars Head Into Each Other in Missouri with No Bad Results. KANSAS CITY, Mo, Nov. 20.—~Two Bur- lington passenger trains collided head-on In a fog at Harlem, Mo, across the river from here, this morning. C. D. Boyd, tourist agent of the Burlington route, was slightly injured, belng thrown across the car, and Milton Nichols, a brakeman, was cut and brulsed. The engines were locked together and badly damaged. None of the cars left the track.

ORPHANS STRIVE TO SHOW GOOD BREEDING Hunger, However, {s a Keen Rival to Proper Manners—Volanteers and Asnocinted Charities Serve All Comers, While the surpliced choir at Trinity ca- thedral sang the Te Deum yesterday, while the well-dressed worshipers bowed thelr heads In prayer to the Maker of heaven and earth and returned thanks to Him who does all things well, an army of less fortunate berngs stood in the rear of the church and patiently waited for their share of the provisions which the Omaha public school ~children contributed from woll-filled larders. Poverty and want were written on the faces of the supplicants. Boys and girls In ragged clothing, women with pinched faces and men on crutches stood in the line that filed slowly past the door of the Trin- ity parish house cellar and recelved the gifts of meat and vegetables which were to brighten homes where turkey dinners are unknown. John A. Laughland, secretary of the As- soclated Charitles, took the names of the people as they fell in line and filled out a oman’s ork The Young Women's Christian assocla- tion has outgrown its quarters—a fact most | encouraging, but equally serious, consider- ing that it has no other quarters into which to move and fs as yet unprepared to erect & building of its ewn.

There are also the six gymnasium classes, the bible classes and the “noon rest,” and the room Is en- tirely inadequate to accommodate the con- stantly increasing number of tired women who go there between 11:30 and 1:30 o'clock every day for refreshment and rest. The parlors, which through the day must serve the purpose of reading room and at the same time a meeting place for some six or eight women's societies of the city, become scarcely a suitable place for any purpose and the noon bible class has been crowded into a far corner of the gym- nasium, where it holds its meetings sur- rounded by “lunchers. The mecessity of a new bullding is hourly felt. The noon bible class, organized ex- perimentally, has become & permanent thing and it is the object of its members to make it such a class as those con- Louis and Chicago, where scores attend dally and are addressed at regular Intervals by the foremost bible scholars of the day. This week it estab- lished a library of bible helps, consisting of eight volumes of F. B. Meyer's “0ld Testament Heroes." Other books of refers will be added as soon ws possible, e record concerning their families. Childrsn predominated in the crowd, and there was but little variety in the tales of sorrow they related. In most cases the father had lost his job or was sick. Some of the older children were orphans and soughy provi- slons for younger brothers and sisters. Before noon 200 baskets had been fllled and the report cards showed that at least 800 people would share gifts of the school children. Bins of potatoes, beets, turnips, onions and other vegetables were emptied and 1,200 pounds of meat were distributed. Apples and other fruit were also placed in each basket, that nothing might be lacking for a wholesome dinner. Besides the pro- visions much cast-off clothing was donated, but the committees were too busy to dis- tribute it today. Children at First Table. There was one place in Omaha where the children did not have to eat their Thanks- giving dinner at the second table—the hall of the Volunteers of America at 117 North Fifteenth street. There It was first come first served, and an army of ragged little folks gathered in front of the hall before Omahans who use napkins had finished breakfast. At 11 o'clock the Volunteers threw open their doors and the children made a center play on long tables which were loaded with turkey and other things that don't find their way into the tene- ments. The dinner was not only good, but !t was given In a spirit which made the hungry regiment feel as If it were welcome. it was not a hand-out passed through a rear door with the single thought of getting rid of a beggar, but a three-course dinner, e such as the public library does not con- tain, and it {s the determination of the class that these elght volumes shall be but the nucleus of a library of bible helps that shall be known throughout Omaha for the use of all who may care to consult t.

His audience teeted the capacity of the edifice. In sub- siance Father Angelo said: oly writ proves t Chrisf 14 V4 to His apostles the absolute I"fwl':;lfln’lfl'\“(‘:: glving or retaining whatsoever sps are committed by men after baptism. . Hive ¥ read in” the gospel of St. Matthew thoso solemn words which Christ addrossed to St. Peter, the head of the church? Those words were: "I will glve thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatsoeyor thou shalt bind upon carth shall he bound in heaven, and whatsoever thou shalt loose arth It shalt be loosed = also in Again we read (n the same gos- yconferred His power upon all ® power of binding and loosing pre- bonds. What kind of bonds frvi- not material, but spiritual bonds, oW, are not spiritial bonds sins and the ects of sins? Consequently Christ gave to His aposties the two-fold power of hinde ing and loosing whatsoever sins are sub- mitted to thelr fudicial power, and promised most solemnly that their Jidicial actions on carth would be ratified in heaven. But the strongest and most convincing words are those in the gospel of 8t. John. Mark well, Christ now addresses them after He had suffered and died on fthe cross; after He had made adequate satis- faction to His heavenly Father; after e had_effected a perfect reconcifiation be- tween fallen man and his offe He thus speaks to them: ‘‘Whoseso #ins yo remit they are remitted nunto and whosesoever sins ye retain they tained.” Now, what do these words signify? you sy they are fiction you must reject all aivine revelation; if you ndmit they porsess truth you must “oncede that God has given fower to men to forgive and retain ‘sins. 3ut how can the minister of God forgive or retain sins unless he knows the sins, and how Is he to know the sins unless thoy are confessed? Now, as His church Is to be perpot and co-extensive with time even so Is this power destined to continue il the end of ages.
