THANKSGIVING SERVICE.
AN ABLE SERMON BY DR. ROBERT H.
HARRIS.
A union Thanksgiving service of the
Protestant churches of Columbus was held
at St. Paul Church at 11 o'clock yesterday
morning. A large congregation attended,
and the services were of a highly interest
ing character. The music was very flue
and greatly enjoyed by the congregation.
The Thanksgiving sermon was preached
by Dr. Robert H. Harris, the eloquent and
talented pastor of the First Baptist
Church. Ilis subject was “Special favors
forjwhicli wejshould rt-nder Thanksgiving.”
Text, “it is a good tiling to give thanks
unto the Lord, for thou. Lord, hast made
me glad through thy work.”—Psalm 93:
1-4.
A synopsis of Dr. Harris’ sermon ap
pears below:
< )f ail peoples, we would seem .to have
the most abundant reasons for fhankgiv-
ing. Special manifestations of divine fa
vor demand special public expressions of
gratitude to God. If “it is a good thing”
for an individual, as the Psalmest, to
make public expression of Thanksgiving,
when tHe heart has been “made glad
through the Lord’s work,” it is none the
less, a good thing for a community of in
dividuals to do likewise, under similar
circumstances.
The absolute sovereignty of a benevolent
God being conceded, there must be a di
vine purpose of tin* liighes! ultimate good
to our race, in human government, ami it
is therefore eminently becoming in 'is, to
make special demonstrations of public
Thanksgiving, whenever we see that pur
pose apparently being consummated—and
this, independently of executive proclama
tions on the subject.
But, in such a service, it should be our
supreme object, to honor God, in the pub
lic recognition of His providential dialings
with us, and to impress t lie world about
us with the sincerity of our devotion,
while our own souls are refreshed aud
strengthened by the exercise. Under the
peculiar circumstances of this period, the
temptation is very great, today, to indulge
in florid declamation and spread-eagle
oratory—to boast of the “tens of thous
ands that David hath slain;’’ hut, asa slave
was stationed in the conquerer’s chariot,
during his triumphal ovation, at Rome,
who kept on repeating, during the entire
gorgeous parade, “Remember, Scipio!
thou art but a man!” so the consciousness
of our own native helplessness should con
stantly remind us of our insignificance,
and prompt us to ascribe all glory to God.
In various epochs of human history God
appears to have chosen “peculiar people,”
through whom to carry forward his pur
poses, and distinctive regions of the earth,
as the theatres of operation. For an un
precedented advancement, if not the final
accomplishment of His indicated purpose
to perfect human government and evange
lize the world, the Anglo-Saxon seems to
be the people chosen and the American
continent the place. Here, soul liberty
aud civil liberty have received their sub-
limest illustration and hence will doubtless
go forth the most potent evangelistic
forces to conquer the world for Christ.
The first form of human government
was, naturally, Patriarchal.
The next form was, unquestionably,
monarchical. It has been claimed by many
that this is the strongest form of govern
ment and, therefore, the be-t. It is, per
haps, the best for man in a stale of bar
barism—a competent ruler premised—but
history lias proved that, it is very brittle, if
strong. It has also been urged that this
is the best form, because modeled on
the plan of God’s own government. The
ocracy is monarchy, and that kind
of monarchy, in a spiritual sense, will al
ways exist; but, during the prevalence of
a political theocracy, among the Israelites,
God expressly declared that a human
monarchy was not best, and signified his
preference for another form.
A government by judges was more ap
proved by the Deity and was the next
stage, after monarchy, in the evolution of
government in general, alt hough, by special
Divine favor, succeeding the patriarchal,
among God’s chosen people. Josephus
considered the government of the judges
an aristocracy: more modern writers, such
as Lowman and Michadis, have pro
nounced it a Democracy; but I think it
would rather appear to have been not ex
actly either. It was unquestionably, in
some sense, an oligar liy, but wanted some
of the chief elements of a pute aristocracy:
and. lik 'wise beyond question, if. partook
largely of the nature of a Democracy,
while it lacked some of the fundamental
characteristics of that form of govern
ment. The judges were called .Shophetim.
analagotis in official character, some
think, to the Suffetes, of the Carthagin
ians. the Archontes, of the Athenians,
and certain dictators, of limited authority,
among the Romans. Grotius says that,
at the time of the Roman irruption, the
government of the Gauls, the Germans
and the Britons was similar to that of the
Hebrews under the judges.
The occasional resort to the last named
form, even tentatively, shows the tendency
of the human mind, under the impelling
providence of God. Despotisms, and
other monarchies, absolute and limited,
have succeeded one another, in the history
of mankind, with many fluctuations and
variations, hut the general tendency has
ever been toward the highest type ami,
when the English barons extorted Magna
Charta from King John, at Runnymede,
the ultimate republic* of pure Democracy
appeared above the horizon.
There are two ideals of a Democrat ic
Republic—the Federal and the State sov
ereignty. The former was the ideal of
Washington and Hamilton; the latter, the
ideal of Jefferson. 'I'he former, with its
centralization feature, was doubtless best
tor our Republic, in its ineipienev; the
latter is unquestionably best for it, in its
present stale of development, as being
more consistent with the heaven-born
principles of soul liber: y and civil free
dom.
The tendency of the age is toward Re
publican government. Witness South
America, portions of Europe and else
where. Even Victoria's grandson may
never sit anon the English throne.
It is impossible to escape the conviction
that the hand of God is directing all these
events and that, the the greatest momen
tum lias been attained under the direct in
fluence of Christianity. Now when, we
consider the relation of our own country to
this great movement, it will readily lie
seen that we have abundant reason for
Thanksgiving to God. Soul liberty is a
religious idea, which, carried out, eventu
ates in civil liberty. The attainment of
such a condition among a people is a
triumph of Christianity. A pure Democ
racy is the nearest approach yet discovered
to such an attainment. After many and
desperate battles, that political principle
appears to be in the ascendant in our
country, with some prospect of ultimate
triumph over its most dangerous enemies,
plutocracy and ochlocracy. Our continent
appears to be the chosen theatre for tin*
compltte resolution of the experiment. A
successful issue will place us far in the
lead of all other nations in carrying ou:
the divinely appointed purpose of human
redemption, political and spiritual. Btu
great advantages entail great responsibili
ties and \v<* must strive to be equ d to the
occasion in every particular.
A public expr ssion of our gratitude to
God, is due, on many accounts: Exemp
tion from wars and diplomatic contro
versies, immunity from extensive epi
demics during the year, a good general
harvest, the confusion of our political
enemies and a popular vindication of pub
lie virtue: but, above all else, we should j
give thanks for the substantial advances
of the highest principle of true govern
ment and the manifest progress of evan
gelism. Geographically our country L
most c nveniently situated, b ull f.irti sting
the political experiment aud as hea.i
quarters for world-embracing missionary
enterprises, and sente apprehension of tin-
true state of the case may be arrived at by
a simple comparison of the past with the
present.
Then followed the preroration, contain
ing a cursory description of our country,
an estimate of the political stability of
the government, with a warning against
over-confidence in party successes and
some observations upon the probable re
ligious future.
The usual Thanksgiving service was
held at Trinity Church yesterday morning,
Dr. W. C. Hunter officiating. At the con
clusion of the service, Dr. Hunter an
nounced that hv egreement of the clergy
of the various churches in the diocese,
memorial services will be held at all the
Episcopal Churches next Sunday in honor
of the late Bishop Beckwith.

GBEAT CONVENIENCES FOR TRAVELLERS
AND SHIPPERS.
Until a few years ago a railroad office
on Broad street was unknown. Now the
Central, the Georgia Midland and the
Columbus Southern all have handsomely
and conveniently arranged offices on the
main business thoroughfare, where they
are convenient to the public.
THE CENTRAL RAILROAD OFFICES.
The handsome new offices of the division
freight, and division passenger and tick, t
agents of the Central railroad at 1023
Broad street, have been very favorably
commented on, and ilie convenience is
daily appreciated by the public. Mr. C.
\V. Chears, one of the ablest and most
clear-headed railroad men in the country,
is the division freight agent. He is thor
oughly conversant with the minutest de
tails of the freight business, is possessed of
a suavity of manner that readily makes
him friends wherever he goes, and his
popularity is unbounded. lie has con
nected with him Mr. W. E. Estes,
who holds the responsible position
of chief clerk. Mr. Estes is perfectly fa
miliar with the business, having formerly
been a stenographer for Mr. Chears, and
under his able discipline learned the busi
ness thoroughly, and he now has the en
viable reputation of ranking as one of the
most competent rate clerks in the business.
Mr. C. W. Pardo, an expert in stenog
raphy, is Mr. Chears’ stenographer. He
is experienced and skilful, and is recog
nized as one of the most accurate in f ie
service. His knowledge of railroad busi
ness makes him very valuable, and Mr.
Chears is to b? congratulated on having
connected in his department two such able
assistants as Messrs. Estes and Pardo.
Mr. D. H. Bythewood, division passen
ger agent, since his removal here from
Savannah, where he held for twelve years
the very responsible position of chief clerk
to the general passenger agent, has made
hosts of friends. Mr. Bythewood is re
garded in railroad circles as having few
I equals in the passenger service. He
| is thoroughly posted as to the va
rious trunk lines and junction
points and is familiar with all the
■details. So completely equipped a man
1 necessarily has an inexhaustible supply of
I information, aud anything pertaining to
j the passenger business can be learned of
| him. He has as his stenographer a very
popular young man, Mr. W. PL McGee,
wlto fills the position with credit.
Mr. G. If. Richardson is the city passen
ger and ticket agent. He has in his office
a full supply of tickets to all points, and
information as to rates, routes, etc., will
be cheerfully furnished by him.
The location of the division freight and
passenger agent’s office is very desirable.
The building is large and commodious,
and the interior, which lias been hand
somely papered throughout, presents a
very attractive and inviting appearance.
In a word, the division offices of the Cen
tral are superb in appointment, and noth
ing in the South can compare with them.
GEORGIA MIDLAND OFFICES.
The offices of the Georgia Midland road
are in the second story of the Third Na
tional Bank Building.
Mr. Clifton Jones, Lite popular and ener
getic general freight and passenger agent, of
the road, is quartered in the three rooms
formerly occupied by IVabody, Brannon
Hatcher. The rooms are elegantly and
tastefully arranged and furnished, and the
genial chief of the department always has
an eye to the comfort of his friends and
visitors generally. Tbe clerical force in
the office of Mr. Jones is composed of
clever and active young men. Mr. LI. J.
Berry tills the responsible position of chief
clerk, Mr. E. G. Long is stenographer,
and Mr. George Cargill clerk.
Mr. W. M. Parsley, the pushing and
successful general traveling agent of the
road, has a desk in tin* office of Mr. .Join's,
where lie is “.11 home” to his friends while
in the city.
Across the hall from the office of Mr.
Jones is the private office of General Man
ager G. Gunby Jordan, the builder of the
road, and now president of the Third
National and the Columbus Savings banks.
Adjoining this is the office of Treasurer T.
C. S. Howard, one of the best and most
experienced railroad men in the city.
Clever John Saunders is the chief clerk of
this department.
THE COLUMBUS SOUTHERN.
The general officers of Columbus’ latest
railroad enterprise, the Southern, are
located on the second floor of the. Georgia
Home building, in the handsome appurt-
ments formerly occupied by the Georgia
Midland.
The corner room is occupied by Mr.
W. D. Brown, the genial freight and pas
senger agent of the road, aud his able
corps of assistants. Mr. Brown is one of
the youngest and brightest railroad men
in the South filling such an important and
responsible position, and is managing the
business of his department cleverly and
successfully. His chief clerk is Mr. L. S.
Alfriend, a very capable and active rail
road man and a clever gentleman. Mr. J.
I). Colvin, formerly of Atlanta, an!
a son of Mr. John Colvin, an old-
time resident of Columbus, is steno
grapher, and Elmo Acee, a clever and
popular Columbus boy, is clerk.
The office of Mr. W. C. Watters, auditor
of the company, is adjoining that of Mr.
Brown. Mr. W. B. Moore is cashier and
bookkeeper in this department. Mr. Wat
ters and Mr. Moore make a strong team,
and look well after the interest of the
Southern.
The next office is that of Capt. William
Redd, Jr., the superintendent of the road.
The telegraph office of the company is
located in this office, and is presided over
by Mr. I’. S. Awtrey, one of the most com
petent and reliable train dispatchers in
this section.
