LIZZIE 0. THQMAb
‘•Lord of the harvest! Thee we hail!
Thine ancient promise *ioes not fail;
The varying seasons haste their round,
With goodness all our years are
crowned;
Our thanks we pay
This holy day;
O'fl, let our hearts in tune be found.”
Swiftly the months have rolled by,
another year has almost left us, ami
once more our national Thanksgiving
day has come. In one sense every day
is or should be a day for us to re
turn thanks, but it is good for us as a
nation to set apart a day that can be j
observed irrespective of creed or ofccu- >
pation as a time to publicly give thanks j
to the ‘‘Giver of every good and perfect •
4 gift,” for health and strength, for food J
and raiment, for relatives and friends,
yes, even for adversity and disappoint-
ments.
It seems a hard proposition that of
being thankful for disappointments, but
as the years pass most of us can see
that the things that at some period we
most earnestly desired were withheld |
and even better things substituted. It'
takes rain and wind, heat and cold to
perfect vegetation or the soil we ex
pect to use next year, and the growth of
our spirits need a similar treatment.
If prosperity alone should be ours
how rank would grow self-complacency,
and self-conceit. Even Moses, God’s
chosen leader, one time forgot and took
credit for the miracle God had wrought
through him. How often do you hear
the term self-made, and how seldom do
such men give God credit for their suc
cess.
‘‘Bless the Lord, oh, my soul, and
forget not all His benefits” is a text that
should be our every day delight.
To a great many of us this year has
been one of hard work, varied responsi
bilities and in many cases rigid self-
denial. But it could have been worse.
There are few things that could pot be
worse, and the habit of seeing that such
is the case is a happy one and should
be cultivated. To do so helps us to
make stepping stones of disappoint
ments, losses and defeat. The habit of
being thankful for whatever comes, even
if we hope -for better things, puts sun
shine In many a life that would other
wise be bleak and cold. And to be
thankful is to be loving. .
Ida Scott Taylor wrote such a true
thing concerning the real cause of hap
piness that I am going to give you her
own words, and I hope that if some of
you cannot quote them as your own ex
perience this year you may be able to
do so when another Thanksgiving rolls
around:
“Loving and serving, serving and lov
ing! Nothing else can bring true happi
ness. Love i£ the key that Unlocks
the heart of stone, and melts the coldest
natures. It softens and subdues, sweet
ens and ennobles our lives, and brings
us into sympathy and harmony with
the whole created world. Loving eyes
ever seek for the good, the true, and
the beautiful; loving hands soothe the
aching head, and smooth© the rumpled
pillow, and never weary of tender min
istrations; loving feet are swift to bear
\ good tidings, and from morning until
night are walking in ways of kindness.
Loving voices speak comforting words
l| and sing songs of gladness: and loving
— hearts blossom into beautiful thoughts.”
So much to ^e thankful for, so much
of beauty all about us and so many
evidences of God’s love for us, so many
seemingly trivial things that would seem
very important were they removed. The
girl in the country turns her eyes city
ward and envies, it may be, her sister
behind the counter.
That girl in turn thinks of all that
the words “in the country” stand for and
longs to throw aside her responsibilities,
her load of care, and join the happy
crowd that gathers in a home, not at a
hotel table or even the private boarding
house. Both have more to be thankful
for than they have realized. As I heard
some one say, “count your blessings and
let your blessings count.” So do the lat
ter there must radiate good cheer and
helpfulness. The talent must be dedi
cated to the world, and consecrated to
the uplift of humanity, to the up-build
ing of God’s kingdom on earth as it is
in heaven to really count for anything.
Our blessings count when we share them,
and we can always find some one need
ing something that we have, if nothing
else let them know that in trouble we
may be called on. Did you ever think
what a blessing you might bestow on a
neighbor simply by keeping the children
occasionally, or by doing some of her
se.wlng, if she does all of her own work?
If your blessing is leisure see that it
counts, don’t wrap it in a napkin and
make such a treasure of it that it bids
fair to become useless, or to make you
selfish.
Count your blessings one by one, ana
as you do so see where each one may be
used for some one. Then indeed, will
your song of praise and thanksgiving
become a chorus of voices and your ex
ample one that many may follow. Re
member:
“The trivial round, the common task,
Would furnish all we ought to ask;
Room to deny ourselves; a road
To bring us, daily, nearer God.”
Faithfully yours,
LIZZIE O. THOMAS.
A LOGICAL LETTER
Dear Miss Thomas: The courage which I
have summoned to write this, my first letter
to the Household, is inspired by an earnest de
sire to say something which may prove help
ful to Miss Evelyn Dare and her kindred spirits.
Unless the letter was written in a fit of
despondency, prompting her to .say things which
she did not mean, she certainly deserves all
of the comfort, love and sympathy that her
firends have to bestow.
Judging from her account of her almost iso
lated life. It would seem that the fault lies
to a great extent in the community, or there
would be more social, religious and literary
functions to’divert her mind.
A teacher may go into a community where
the people are dormant and unprogressive, no
matter how congenial and thrifty she may be,
she is confronted ny a difncun vcm when
she alone assumes the task of arousing them.
Perchance she has had the humiliating and
bitter experience of “casting her pearls before
swine.” I am unprepared to say wherein the
trouble lies, but this I do know, that one should
never tire of just being useful. The very
purpose of our existence in this world is *0
serve our Creator by advancing his cause and
kingdom here, which we can do only by conse
crated service to our fellowman.
I heard a splendid preacher say that if we
would live godward we must live manward, and
I fully appreciate the truth of this statement.
As a teacher one is helping to mould the
destinies of future generations.
The many alert little minds which are de
pending on a teacher for their secular and in
a large measure their moral and religious train
ing. wait to grasp and devour one’s doctrines.
We are told that each of us is a character fo
influence: if not by our own will, then of
God’s decree, and to make good this inevitable
responsibility we cannot afford to lose any
time.
This tremendous subject does not necessarily
involve the question of matrimony, which is
only incidental in our lives. Marriage is a
sacred privilege which God from the beginning
granted to the human family, but it is by
no means a necessity.
When death bids us lay down our earthly
cares and duties We also lay down our mar
riage vows forever, for Jesus plainly tells
us that in heaven there shall be no marriage
npr giving in marriage.
This is not true of the deeds done in this
“preparatory school” called life, for whether
they be good or bad, they live after us, oven
throughout eternity.
To be sure so long as the world shall stand
It will be dependent upon marriage for its popu
lation, and in part for its growth and develop
ment, but there are individuals who are utterly
unfit for the duties which it involves. Had
the duties to which Old Maids’ Friend referred
been the only ones assigned to man and woman,
we should be little above the lower animals,
for they boar their young and are ruled over.
God does not rule tyrannically, and in His
verdict, “Thy husband shall rule over thee,”
I believe He meant that he should love sup
port and protect. Whether married or single,
regardless of sex, our sphere is anywhere
our hearts and hands may find service to do,
and true service is the root of true happiness!
We are a part of God’s great plan; let’s
act our parts well.
With all good wishes for happiness and pros
perity of Miss Thomas and the Household
members, I sign myself
INTERESTED READER.
duty to be temperate? Certainly it is our
duty to be temperate, but it is a duty we owe
to others. We owe to God, our maker and
highest benefactor, to work Into harmony the
power he has given us, that we may fulfill the
mission on which He has sent us, and accom
plish the work that he has assigned us in the
world.
Temperance is one of the highest obliga
tions. It is the top round in the ladder of
Christian graces. Still it is not due to self,
but a duty we owe to all mankind.
We should keep in mind that it is our duty
(nt to sell) to preserve our Ufo and health
and strength. For they do not belong to us
save in trust. They belong to our relatives
and friends, to mankind. We are a guardian
and an agent. We are bound to account for
the talents entrusted to us.
Now suppose we should treat our friends
with apparent and professed affection, using
the manner and languafe of friendship, our
only intention being to gain something for our-
1 selves. Would this be right? No, it would
j be selfishness doubly refined, therefore doubly
{odious. We would be doing our friend au
irreparable wrong, and would be that char
acter most despisable of all. t«e one our Lord
denounces in His most scatching terms—a
hypocrite.
The claims of our relatives and friends upon
our means and service is paramount and ex
haustive. Hence no hour, no dollar is ours to
spend upon our overwhelming indebtedness, our
1 unremitting and endless obligations to man
kind.
ANNA HIGGINS.
THANKSGIVING THOUGHTS.
Dear Householders: It has been quite a while
since I called on you. Thanksgiving day will
soon be with us again. We doubt there are a
good many that spoilt last Thanksgiving here
that have been called to the celestial home
This is the day for all citizen* of these United
States to give thanks to Almighty God for
blessings bestowed. It is a day of joy, a day
or good cheer. It is also the saddest dav in
the year to many. The reason of this is be
cause it is the day of all days devoted to home
life, and home joys—the day of all days most
associated with “home,” and, alas! there are
many who are homeless. To them it is a day
to be lived through and that is all. Then, too,
just because it is the day when we must give
thanks It is human nature to think over our
causes for sorrow rather than our causes for
thanksgiving. We are prone to exclaim. “What
have I to be thankful for?” That, however, is
an ungrateful speech to the “Giver of all good
gifts,” and an ungracious one. Every one of
us has something for which we can say “Thank
God for that.” In the first place, no matter
w’hat our trial, our 'particular sorrow has been,
it might have been worse. For all the sorrow-
anguish and loss we have been spared, good
Lord accept our thanks. In the second place,
each one has some definite good; most of us
have many. Some who are poo* in money have
the rich treasure of health; others who have
not health have money to give them comfort
and assistance in time of illhrss. Some have
neither health nor wealth, but even these pos
sibly have love to brighten their lives, love of
mother and father or husband or children. And,
oh. how much we have to give thanks for, if
w f e have the ineffable joy and comfort of the
“clasp of a little hand.” At least they are
happy, the children, and we can rejoice at
least in their boy. Then there is the glorious
blessing of friendship. We all have friends and
thanks lie to God for them. And if there be
any one so unfortunate as to hgve neither
health, wealth love nor friendship to cheer
their hearths this Thanksgiving day; if there
are any to whom the whole world looks dark,
even these can offer thanks that there is prom
ise to all so blissful an eternity that the sor
rows of this life will all be rorgotten. And so
that day let us say, “Thank God” for all we
possess for all from which we have been spared
for our many hopes and for the one great cer
tainty. “NELLE.”
SELFISHNESS
Dear Household: When Jesus said, “Ix>ve
thy neighbor as thyself,” He did not mean
it literally. He meant that we shoudd love
not only the ones next door to us but to have
such a love in our hearts for all humanity
that we would not trespass upon their rights,
but ever be ready and w-illing to render service
to any one, regardless of color or creeds, w-ho
needs our assistance.
Egotism makes self the end, seeking one’s
own enjoyment and welfare at cost of, or in
disregard of another’s. Psyche logically it is
the supremacy of the craving desires, the appe
tites over the affections. Therefore, we read
ily see we cannot really love ourselves.
Closely related to the notion of self-love Is
that of duty to self. Can we In any measure
or manner owe ourselves a debt? How would
we pay the debt by taking money out of one
of our pockets und putting it in tije other one?
We cannot possibly be in debt except lo some
one else. Does moral law command motives
and actions that are selfish? I answer that
there is no “duty to self”—self is never, can
never be a moral end, but on tne contrary all
selfishness or egoism is a violation of moral
law Duties, obligations, universally relate
to others and all selfishness is sin.
Some one may ask the question if it is our
THANKS FOR THE YEAR’S MERCIES
Dear Miss Thomas and Household: How are
you all this fine November morning? I am feel
ing fine, though my flowers have drooped their
heads. Saturday morning my roses were in
full bloom and my cape jessamines were full
of buds, bidding fair to bloom this the middle
of November, but that cold snap said “No
more blooms till spring.” I’m glad winter
weather is with us, though, for of late years
I feel better in cold weather. We have had
a good time this year and have many blessings
to be thankful for.
Miss Thomas, I wish you were here to help
us pick cotton. I could give you a good job
for we have lots in the field yet, and I believe
that would be a good job for Evelyn Dare.
All of us get tired of the same line of work
day in and day out. We all need a change.
I got tired and worn out cooking and house
cleaning not long since, and you know what
I did? I skipped out to the cotton field in
the afternoons and when night came I could
sleep without rolling and tossing half the
night. We had a good time making syrup. We
made fifty-five gallons of as good syrup as
one ever tasted. I enjoyed the work, and, bet
ter still, enjoyed having- fine syrup on our
table.
Yes, Evelyn, I believe going out into the
beautiful fields of cotton is one of the best
remedies for the blues there is. Try it.
Bingham gave some pretty good advice,
am wondering who will get the prize.
Mrs. O. B. Joyful, I haven’t seen, you out in
a long while. Come on and tell us about your
garden and chickens. I had a very .good gar
den, plenty of everything but cabbages. I
planted cabbage seed five different times.
Something happened to my plants every time,
but everything else did fine, and I have had
the best luck with chickens that I hav^e had
in years; had plenty to eat and some to sell.
I have sold $35 worth up to this time. How
is that for one who has all their chores to do?
And I have two fine hogs which will net 250
or 300 pounds each. Yes, I feel very thank
ful for what I have to show for my year’s
work. Come spend Thanksgiving with me. I’ll
give you fresh meat and homemade syrup and
hominy, too.
Marion Stephens, come out and give an ac
count of yoruself. You have been away long
enough. We want to have a good time. All
of you come help us give thanks to the Giver
of all. Siucerely BUSY BEE.

When the command came to Joshua
from God to carry the people across the
Jordan, he did not hesitate a moment,
but immediately began his preparations
to do the thing which God had ordered.
Tne first step was to move the camp
of the people from the slopes of Nebo
down into the valley at the water's
edge. Tne company nad grown so large
that it was almost impossible to as
semble them in one gathering now, so
men were sent through the camp to di
rect them as to what steps should be
followed. Acting on God’s orders, one
man was selected from every tribe, ane
we may be sure that he was the best
man that could be chosen, too. He was
the outstanding man o , ~
the tribes. We shall see what thei
duty was to be later.
Then twelve priests were chosen from
the tribe of Hevi, who were to bear the
ark according to directions, -no ...uina
tion was given them as to how the Jor
dan was to be crossed. I can imagine
that there must have been a great 1 - s: -
of conjecture amongst that vast com
pany of people, for at this time of the
year the advancing spring and the hot
winds from tne aesert melted tne snow
on the mountains in the north, and
changed the Jordan from a stream,
which could easily be forded in the
winter time at almost any place, to a
rushing torrent very deep and wide. AA
the place opposite Jericho in the win
ter time the stream is very shallow and
only a few hundred yards wide, but in
the spring it is over a mile wide and
very deep. In fact, the Jordan has
three banks in the nature of terraces,
which it has made when the water is
at different levels. I am quite sure
that the people were wondering how in
the world they would cross that tor
rent, but they had faith enough at least
not to doubt but that they would cross.
While every haste was made to re
move from their place on the hill slope
to their present position, there was no
hurry when they had gotten here. God s
time' to move had not yet come, and
they were waiting until He gave the
word. Word was sent through the
camp to sanctify themselves; for the
presence of God requires holiness on
the part of the people. They must get
ready for His coming. When the time
arrived, according to orders, the Le-
vites took up the ark from the midst
of the camp, and marched towards the
river's brink. The orders were that
the people must stay about a half mile
distant from the ark, not come nearer
it than the prescribed limit. This was
to teach them the sanctity of God’s
presence, which was symbolized by this
piece of the furniture of the Taberna
cle. Nearer- and nearer the water’s
brink they marched with their precious
burden, but the current was not one
bit less swift nor one inch less deep.
It required a good deal of faith on the
part of the priests, for they well knew
it was impossible for them to ford that
stream, but their business was to obey,
and leave the rest to God. Without
faltering or swerving, they continued
directly towards the water until their
feet had been covered by the down-
rushing torrent. Immediately the un
expected and well ni, ; . r h impossible hap
pened. The waters began to flow on
towards the sea, and no more came
from above, the stream became shallow
er and shallower as they marched on
down its sloping banks. By the time
they had reached the middle of the
stream their feet were standing on the
rocky bottom. The channel which had
been a rushing torrent was now dry.
an a they stood holding the ark aloft in
the middle of the river’s bed. The peo
ple and 40,000 of the warriors of the
tribes of Rueben and Gad, and of the
half tribe rf Manassah, whose inherit
ance had «i>een given them on the east
side of Jordan, marched across to the
other side. Then the twelve men who
had been previously selected from the
different tribes took twelve stones from
the bottom of the river’s bed, and car
rying them to the other side, erected
them as a memorial, so that in after
years when their children and their
children’s children should ask their de
scendants, “What mean ye by these
stones?’’ they could recite to them the
story of God’s dealing with them, and
His gracious power exerted in their be
half. . , ,,, ,
Not until the last man and child, not
until ail the cattle, had gone over, did
the priests move. Then when all had
passed over safely, the priests, bearing
the ark, folowed them, and placed the
ark in its position in th<», midst of the
camp, which was formed on the west
side of Jordon, near Jericho.
GOD WORKED FOR ISRAEL.
Why did God choose this time to carry
them over? They had waited forty
years, could they not have waited a
short time longer when it would not
have been so difficult to cross? Yes—
but there were two reasons for the
crossing at this time. One was that the
barley harvest was ripe then, and in
His marvelous provision for His people,
now that the manna had stopped. He
brought them into their inheritance so
that they might eat that which they
had not sown, and gather that which
they had not planted. When God invites
us to a meal, He has everything. ready
to serve when we arrive. There are
riches, and there is plenty stored up
for us now in Christ which we rnay
have when we accept His blessed invi
tation.
The other reason was that He waited
to show them that He was willing to ex
ercise His power in their behalf Just
as truly now under Joshua, as He had
when they left Egypt and crossed the
Red sea under Moses. That marvelous
act of His in their behalf made their,
confident that under the leadership of
Jehovah and Joshua, none of the Ca-
naanites would he able to withstand
them, but that the victory was theirs,
if they trusted Him and obeyed Him.
It is thoroughly scientific to believe
that this great miracle could have been
performed at. this time through the op
eration of natural means. About thirty
miles above this portion of the Jordon,
the mountains come down so close to
the river’s edge, and the gorge is so nar
row that the rushing torrent washes
away the clay banks, and undermines
them. In the twelfth century at that
point (the fords of Damieh, which is op
posite the city of Zaretan, and which
was probably what was spoken of in
this connection as the city of Adam),
there occurred just Such a landslide,
which temporarily dammed the stream
so that no water flowed below until the

CIVIL GOVERNOR TO BE
GIVEN MORO PROVINCE
WASHINGTON, Nov. 27.—Another
step toward Philippine autonomy is
about to be taken by Governor General
Harrison, by displacing a military gov
ernor for a civil one in the Moro prov
ince.
Brigadier General John J. Pershing,
now governor of the Moro province, is
to be relieved by Frank W. Carpenter,
executive secretary of the Philippine
government, who will be the first civil
ian governor of the Moro province,
either in Spanish or American times.
A redistribution of troops in the Phil
ippines is possible as a result of the
establishment of civil government in
the Moro province.
