Tlie^ move men orginated in the London^ Sun bool Union, and has bee leading Temperance a,n bool workers of Amera g=--. ! \lergymen of / all denomina tions. Through the efforts of the Sunday school workers of the National Wom an's Christian Temperance Union, the General Assembly of the Presbyte rian Church gave cordial endorsement to the plan and changed the date of their annual Temperance Sunday from the third Sunday of September to the fourth Sunday in November; also the General Assembly of the united Pres byterian, the National Triennial Council of Congregational Churches, aud the General Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, have adopted the day and by resolution, recommended and urged its annual observance in all their churches. By action of the executive committee of the International Sunday-school Con vention, the Sunday-school workers everywhere are called upon for spe cial observance of the fourth Sunday of November of each year as Temper ance Sunday. In view of the above facts and with a desire to aid this movement, which commends [itself to Christian people everywhere, we, the undersigned earnestly request the pastors of all churches in our city andStat6 to ob serve Novembe” 22nd as Temperance Sunday. We recommend that tem perance sermons be preached in the morning andj special attention be given [to the teaching of a Bible Tem perance lesson in the Sunday-school, with the introduction of such otkei features as will make the Sunday school hour significant for Temper ance. We would call attention of the Young People’s Societies to the sub ject of the Temperance Reform, and ask that in their evening meetings it be made a special eubjeot of prayer. We would further suggest that in the evening, Union Temperance or Christian Citizenship meetings be held in localities where^it may be’ prac ticable. /The above call is made to the end that Christian Temperance sentiment be aroused and stimulated in our city and [State and thatithe Christian churches takegtheir right ful place as leaders in this great reform movement. , .^.1 Signed: Revs. J.

The spirit that ought to possess us this Thanksgiving day is well illustrated by a story told of George III, who. when his late oolonlsts had appointed a day - of public thanksgiving for their deliverance from the British yoke, not to be outdone by them In piety, designated a similar day to be observ ed throughout his own kingdom. An inti mate friend was at a loss to know what there was to be thankful for. “Is it because yon have lost thirteen jewels from your crown 7" “No,” “Is it beeaase millions of money and the lives of thousands of men have been wasted?” “No.” "Well, what is it?” “I; is because it is no worse l” Emblem of Thanktui.xbss—The heath in the desert wants rain far worse than the water-lily.
