* THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GA., FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 28, 1913. 5 CbNOOCTED So MISS 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.

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 Newly-Wedded Couple Refuse to Tell Where They Intend Going Many use it as symbolic of the change which takes place In the life when we _ r , cross from the old life into the new.

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.
