T IS to be hoped that this
Thanksgiving will not be a
pagan holiday, and that
those who do render thanks
will do so not as a heathen
philosopher, boasting that he
h not ns other men, but In greater hu
manity because be has perhaps been
more greatly blessed than others.
Outside of the many draterinl bless-
{lags that have come to the American
[people during the past year, which are
{good In so much as they contribute to
jwholcsome human happiness, there Is
reason for the people of this country
upon this Thanksgiving day to be un
isonally thoughtful concerning their
[place In the world, and to remember
jhow this eminence has been obtained.
I Who can look back and not see the
band of Providence shaping the des-
Itlny of America! This liberty which
(is the marvel and the hope of the
[world today was set up on these shores
[by Godfearing men—the pioneers who
flnangurated this very Thanksgiving
(holiday. It was for the love of the
[service of God that liberty was estab
lished In America, and It was this Ubr
[arty that has been the basis of our na-
jtlonal greatness and which Is to be
[the political salvation of the world.
America cannot look back upon Its
without seeing God, and by
thought cannot fall to acknowl-
lts gratitude for all his benefits.
Fth that stage of our development
tssed we are now permitted to enter
that new era when America par-
Ipatos In abolishing tyranny and In-
Ice, ever hateful to God, and to
Scarry to the oppressed nations of
Iw'orld those principles of lib
through which our own chief blessings
(have come.
| This Is the supreme service that one
itlon can render to another—to safe-
the liberties of Its people. In
i momentous time the burden of our
Ivlng this year It seems should
be that we are to be chief among the
ministers in working out the Divine
purpose to have all men—Greek and

FRENCH CITIES ARE GROWING

Paria.—The statistics for the popula
tions of the secondary cities and towns
of France, completed before the exo
dus from Paris began, show an extraor
dinary Increase owing chiefly to the
Immigration of foreign and colonial
workmen employed In monition and
other factories.
Marseilles, with about 600,000 Inhab
itants when the war began, has now a
population of more than 1,000,000.
With the many refugees from the
towns about Paris, evacnated because
of the German advance, and with some
of the population of Paris whlfh flew
from the big cannon, that figure may
be said to be even higher. Lyons has
Increased Its population from 530,000
to 740,000, without Including additional
thousand! In the snbnrbi. Bordeaux's
population has risen from 201,078 to
325,000, and the suburban parishes
have grown from 88JS20 to 120,855.
Havre has Increased from 138,150 to
150,000 without Including the garrison
of 80,000 foreigners and 80,000 ref
ugees, mostly Belgians.
