EARLY THANKSGIVING DAYS.
The first recorded Thanksgiving
was , the Hebrew feast of the Tab
ernacles. national
The first English
Thanksgiving was on September
s ty88, for the defeat of the Span
ish Armada.
There have been but two Eng
lish Thanksgivings in this coun
try. One was on February 27,
1872, for the recovery of the Prince
c f Wales fiom illness; the other
June 21, 1887, for the Queen’s Ju
bilee.
The New England 'Jhanksgiv
ing da^es from 1683, when the
Massachusetts Bay colony set
*1 m rt a day for thanksgiving.
The first national Thanksgiv
ing proclamations were byCon
tress during the Revolutionary
War.
The first great American thanks
giving day was in i784, for the
declaration of peace. There was
one more national thanksgiving
in 1789, and no other till 1868,
V. rhen president Lincoln issued a
1! ational proclamation for a day
of thanksgiving. Since that time
the president has issued an annu
al proclamation, Journal of Ed
ucation.
How it would revolutionize life
if we could agree to have one day
a year for murmering and com
plaining, for letting out the floods
of pent-up annoinces and grudges
slights, and be thankful the rest
of the time 1 How much better
than to be thankful one day by
law and grumble by impulse for
three hundred and sixty-four!
Let todav sound a thankful note
to ring through the year.—Malt
bie D. Babcock.
The® wife of Marshal Oyama, a
Christian Japanese woman, IS
deeply interested in the work of
the Salvation Army among the
Japanese soldiers.
Japan is among the missionary
nations. Several Protestant Chris
tian missionaries are working in
Formosa, supported by Japanese
Christians. The first Japanese
Christian to Korea also lately ar
rived at Seoul with two assistants.
They were sent out by Methodist
Episcopal Society of Japan.
Rev, A. A. Fulton of Canton,
China, has within two years bap
tized more than a thousand adults
and received them into the Pres
byterian churches of the mission
of which he had charge, As re
ported in the General Assembly’
Minutes of this year, he received
and baptized 568 last year alone.
His churches have a membership
of 2,051.
Here is a hint of the influence
of mission leper asylums working
in India. The Bible woman at
the Nasik (Bombay) was taken
sick and could not conduct even
ing prayers. The Hindoo women
in the asylum, though not pre
tending to be Christians, conduct
ed the services themselves, sing
ing hymns and repeating Scrip
ture texts one after another, then
the Ten Commandments and fi
nally the Apostles’ Creed, after
which the leprous Hindoo women
called on a Christian girl to offer
prayer. The girl prayed for help,
gave thanks for the thanks given,
. and so the strange service ended.
So out of the mouths of these
babes in knowledge does God or
dam praise?
Splendid stones might be told
of the heroines of missions, who
have remained at home, and by
word and life have inspired others
go, at the time encouraging,
working, praying and giving for
their support. Prominent among
these women was Mary Lyon, the
founder of Mount Holyoke Semi
nary, who used to say to her grad
uating classes: “When you choose
Vour fields of labor, go where no
one else is willing to go. n Wives
M home missionaries, teachers
among the Indians and negroes,
went from her classes by the hun
dfeds. Hardly a state in the Un
ion but at one time contained
those she inspired to the highest
service Darkest • 9 r Sanwich Islands,
in Africa, amid the groves
of Ceylon, and under the trees of
India were found those who
I i were willing to where
go no one
else would go.”—Record of Chris
tian Work.

On Monday morning, November four
teenth, the angel of death entered our
town and bore away Sarah Christine,
youngest child of Mr. and Mrs. Kader
Powell.
Little Christine’s short life of eight
months and twenty-three day's, was full
of suffe ring and yet in the midst of pain,
she would bravely try to smile and cheer
us with her baby prattle.
Her life though short, has left its in
fluence; many are the lessons of patience
that we may learn from her.
The pi ace left vacant in her home is
small in space, but who can measure the
length, depth, and breadth of the va
cuum left in the bereaved, lie ,rts! Oh
these’ little lamijs, how they wrap them
selves around our hearts, and how every
pulsation stops when their little grasp
is loosened.
To the bereaved ones we extend our
sincere sympathy. We too have laid to
rest a little one, and well do we remem
ber how our own hearts seemed bulled
in the little grave.
Let us take up life’s burdens afresh
and weave into our own lives the sweet
characteristics of our angel babes, and go
fortli into the world stronger and braver
to fight its battles and lift up those whose
lives are burdened with sin and sorrow.
May the “beckoning hands” of little
Christine guide you daily into this high
er and nobler life and after awhile, when
your work is well done, may her spirit
welcome you into the portals of the
Celestial City where an abundant en

New Way of Using Chamber*
Iain’s Cough Remedy
Mr. Arthur Chapman writing
from Durban, Natal, South Af

Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy is a
cure suitable for old and young, 1
pen you the following: A neigh
bor of mine had a child just over
two months old. It had a very
bad cough and the parents did not
know what to give it. I suggested
that if they would get a bottle ot
Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy and
put some upon the dummy teat
the baby was sucking it would no
doubt cure the child. This they
did and brought about a quick
relief and cured the baby.” This
remedy is for sale by \\ ight &
