ItRIfM COIN MMiflJ PUBLISHED WEEKLY BY " W. U. Surra, Editor and Prop, at ? . AHOSKIE, N. C. . , Subscription Price: On* Dollar Per Year in Advance Advertising; Rates: Very Reasonable and made known on request. ? ? Entered as second-class matter Feb ruary 25th, 1910, at tne post office at Aboskie. N. C., under the Act of March 3. 1879. That President Wilson did well in making the principal message in bis Thanksgiving proclamation expressive of the sincere gratitude of the nation wV-bemg , permitted to enjoy the blessings of peace, while the rest of. the world is at war, will be universally admitted. "Oar people," he says, "have looked upon their own life as ? nation with deeper comprehension, a fuller realization of their re sponsibilities as well well as of their blessings, and a deeper sense of the moral and practical sign ificance of what their part among the nations of the world may come to be." We have felt in ouy business tife the depressing influ ence of the war, and have been led to a higher valuation of peace and a deeper sympathy for thosfe in dis tress. . Our nation has been re ceiving the quickening of a great moral stimulation, While there are many other causes for thank fulness, these he wisely recognizes as the foremost. Bat we owe to God more ttian a mere formal official acknowledg ment of our gratude, which is lia bl to be forgotton almost as soon ?a it ia expressed. All this time, when iiealv the whole world is plunged in war, . Christian nation fighting Christian nation, brother against brother, would it not be well for its to examine our own heart? and to confess before God our national and individual short comings! Are his statutes writ ten on our ln-artst Do we rever ence his Sabbaths) With all the abundant blessings we receive from his hand, have we been evei mindful to magnify and exalt the generous Giver' Do we acknow ledge him in all ways) ? Have we labored as earnestly for the ex pansion of bis kingdom on earth as we ought to labor) These questions are not asked in a spirit of recrimination. We are miudful of the fact that there is at this moment in every Ameri can heart a feeling of the warmest gratitude for the divine protection and the blessings we now enjoy, i But at this special time we needvjt still deeper spiritual quickening. We need to consecrate ourselves , anew before we can expect an as- , suranee of the continuance of the , divine favor. If we have set up Mammon as our idol; if we. have ( been unduly devoted to the pur suits of power, profit and pleasure; if we have in any way strayed from the "old path," we need a reconsecrat,ion, in order that we n.ay stand before the whole_world firm and secure, as a people whose God is tire Lord, to whom we have the right to look for guidance in all our affairs. - It may be, as many believe, that the gratest hour for this nation is at hand?the most momentous op portunity for exalted service it has ever - known. The democracy which the old world despised may become the chief cornerstone of a new civilization. Let us prepare for this opportunity by humbling ourse.ves before God, who loves to exalt those who do him honor. Let us plea^ for an increase of faith and a - broader vision of world-service. With his all wise leading we can rise equal to the ' greatest of task and succeed. Never cau human nature be transformed except bv divine power. The whole course of the present war has provep this. We see nations flinjpAg away the civilization of many centuries1 growth. Though we cannot now foresaw the outcome, yet we have unshakable faith that the Supreme Ruler, in bis own time and way, will commsnd order to rise from the chaos of empires. And when that mes. we must be ready, in 1 obedience to his call, to render I loyal and acceptable service in the | great work "of rehabilitating the world to his g|or.v and for the benefit of our fellow men.?1 1 Christian Herald.

V1 ?? ? ~ 1 : ' " ' ' ? ? ? V/her* Doee Goodness DwellT When a vicious young millionaire like. Harry Thaw runs amuck through hia crude and evil environment wa sigh and aay, "Hla money ruined him.' When a poor young woman abandons her weary frugalities for the ques tionable pleasures of prostitution, we sigh and say, "Her poverty drove her to it." Where, then, does goodness dwell!' What part does honor pjoy? The Sleur de Joluvllle, in his memoir* of Saint Louis, tells us that a certain man, sole beset by the pressure of temptation, sought counsel from the bishop of Paris, -"whose Christian name was William." And this wise Wil liam of Paris said to him: "The castle of Montl'hery stands In the safe heart of France, and no Invading hosts assail It. But the castle of La Bochelie in foltou stands on - the line of battle. Day and night It must he guarded from assault, and it has suffered grievously. Which gentleman, think you, the king -holds high in favor/-the governor of Montl'hery or the governor of La Bo chelle? The post of danger Is, the post of glory and he who Is sorely wounded In the combat is honored by God and man."?Agnes Repplier, in the Atlantic. Studies Italy's Thrift. Simon W. Straus, president of the American Society for Thrift, la study tug methods of thrift used In Italy. He has been surprised to leern that In the last 30 years savings in Italy have more than quadrupled, having risen from $288,600,000 to 1,200 million dollars. The chief means of Inducing thrift are-the ordinary savings banks, which number abouf two hundred, with nearly three million depositors, whose deposits total 800 million dol lars. and the post oilice savings banks with an average of six million depos itors, whoso savings amount to - 450 mljlion dollars. Th : remainder of the savings are held by co-operative'so cieties of credit and by the' savings departments attached to the state, pawnbrokers' establishments. JK ?-1 Robtriien Crusce In Trouble..

Buying Crimean Clothes. The weather, as an- English milt* tary correspondent points, out, may have a (jreat effect on the war. It la necessary, therefore, that abundance of wnrm clothing btf provided for the soldiers. But wa have not alwayi thenght of this. In the Crimean war tie British troops suffered terribly from the cold until some clothmg genius Invented a" pilot jacket of sheepskin. So many of these were made that after the war there was a surplus of some thousands, which were kept In stock lor quite thirty years, when they were sold byj auc tion and found their way lata city ' tailors' shops, where they were/eager, lv strapped up aa novelties.?jt-ondbn Chronicle. . j I? <??- ??
