THANKSOrVI.VG D.4Y fBy Lidia Maria Child, born Medford. Mass., 1802, died Wayland, Mass., 1880.) I Over the river and through the wood. To grandfather’s house we go; The horses know the way To carry the sleigh Through the white and drifted snow. Over the river and through the wood— Oh, how the wind does blow. It stings the toes And bites the nose As over the ground we go. Over the river and through the wood, To have a first-rate play. Hear the bells ring "Ting-aling-ding,’’ Hurrah for Thanksgiving Day. Over the river and through the wood, Trot fast, my dabble .gray. Spring over the ground Like a hunting-hound, For this is Thanksgiving Day. Over the river and through the wood. And straight through the barn-yard gate, We seem to go Extremely slow— It is so hard to wait. Over the river and through the wood. Now grandfather’s cap I spy. Hurrah for the fun. Is the pudding done? Hurrah for the pumpkin pie. Thanksgiving As we approach the Thanksgiving season we begin to ponder over the question of what we have to be thank ful for since this time a year ago. Of course, all of us can name myriads of things for which we should be gi’ate- ful to the Divine Power and we should think of the Thanksgiving season v ith some of the gusto and joy of the writer of the above poem and yet have a so lemnity of heart that would induce sin cere consideration of the blesings we have received. Thanksgiving Day is an American in stitution with its origin by the early set- lers in New England. After their first crop was harvested a day was set apart for giving thanks and from that hum ble occasion by a handful of men, wom en and children, we have in this great nation a national holiday once each year for thanksgiving. During the 200 odd years that have elapsed since the first Thanksgiving the people of this nation have never passed a year without having cause to observe the holiday in its true light. Prom its small beginning this nation has grown to be the most powerful and wealthiest on the earth. It is the land of greatest opportunity, of greaest freedom and it is the land where Christianity thrives most—it is the land of Thanksgiving Day. As stated above, Thanksgiving Day should be an occasion of joy, mingled with a solemnity of gratefulness, but during recent years there has been a tendency on the part of many to de grade the holiday in drunken and rio- ■ tous behavior. Such practice is a sacri- vi lige against the. purpose of what should be tJie happiest day of the year. Em For RailroaAjlf: V There one age when^ WShroads were the king of industry and then came automobile^ good highways aBd"* air planes to supplant the rails as the fast-' est and most efficient mode of transpor-, tation. From the standpoint of a more-or less disinterested observer it appears that railroads were sleeping and taking their downfall in a lethargic manner, but at this time it looks as if railroads are com ing back into a new era of prosperity. First came the air-conditioning of passenger cars, so far applied to only a few long-run trains, but so successful'’ and popular that it seems certain that before many years every important train will be equipped with some kind of air-conditioning to insure fresh air, even temperature and no cinders in pas sengers’ eyes, w’hich have been among the principal reasons why folk prefer to ride in motor cars rather than on rail roads. Then came the high-speed stream lined trains, in great variety. The first of these, the Burlington’s “Zephyr,” proved so successful that the road has ordered several more like it. In regular service it has to “loaf” to keep down to a schedule which calls for 85 miles an hour. Then came the Union Pacific’s “caterpillar” with its Diesel-electric lo comotive, which amazed the world by crossing the continent in 57 hours. More of these light-weight, high-speed trains are to be put into service as fast as they can be built. In the east, where population is thick er and traffic heavier, the big trunk lines still pin their fa/th on electric propulsion, which is feasible wherever there are great electric power plants close enough together. The Pennsyl- vainia, which has been engaged for some time in electrifying its line be tween New York and Washington, has just placed a 115,000,000 order for 57 huge 'e.lecti(ic locomotives, likewise streamlined, and capable of a sustained speed of 90 miles an hour, which will bring Washington and New York v'ith- in less than three hours of each other. We hear of the great locomotive builders experimenting with new types of motive power, the- Pullman company and other car builders doing the same thing, and we look forward to a new and interesting railroad era. JOURNAL-PATBIOlfNC TREAT* Tol Gat^r Td'StDg ha The Book the first line of which reads, "The Holy Bible," and which contains four great treasures. By BRUCE BARTON AN OLD >LAN SETS OUT Paul left Ephesus after the riot, but not to return to Jerusalem: he was going across into Europe again. We may imagine the conversa tion that took place, for we get a wonderful glimpse into hia mind in the letters to the Corinthians. “You are going over the same ground again, Paul?’’ “Yes, but every time widening the circle. This is my third time out, and each time I make a little larger swing, and see the work growing.” “When do you get back to Jerusalem?” "Next spring at Easter. I am going to lake back the biggest collection that the Jerusalem church ever reepived.'' ".•\re you going to stay I'lcre?’’ "Stay there? Do you think I could ever be coiiien; to .settle dov.'u and stay in Jerusa lem?’’ "Put you are .gcttitig to be an old rtau. and travel i.s harl on yor. and duiigtroiu." "Yes. I have been in dangers of many kinds. It has been my privilege to travel f.mi'.'.r than any of the other apo.stles. In journeyings often, in perils of waters, mcas’jrn, in prisons more frequeut, in deaths oft. Of t’.io Jews five limes received 1 forty stripes save one. Thrice was I beaten with rods, once was I stoned, thrice I suffered s’aipwrcc’.t, a night and a day I have been in the deep: Tn journeyings often, in perils of waters, ill perils of robbers, in perils by mine own countrymen, in perils by the heathen, in perils in the city, in perils in the wil derness, in perils in the sea, in perils among false brethren; In weariness and painfulness, in watch ings often, in hunger and thirst, in fast ings often, in cold and nakedness.’’ “That’s a long list of perils, Paul. It must nearly have broken you down." “I have still a heavier burden, my anxiety for all the churches I have established.’’ “Do you carry them on your mind and feel responsible for them?” "Who is weak and I am not weak? Who is caused to stumble and I burn not?” “You have done a great work and have much to be proud of,” “I am proud of it, and have been criticized as being vain about It. I have sometimes been ashamed of myself for letting people know my pride and Joy in ail this. Yet, while I ^ have sometimes made myself a fool by seeming to boast, I really am not boastful. God forbid that I should glory, save In the cross of Christ and In the joy of service.” “When you go out again where shall you go?’’ “Back again over the same ground, but more widely, to all the Roman sub-capitals *In Asia Minor and Greece^ then to Rome.*’ Everybo4]f Inyited-to Cenuity- ^ Wide SfoKiiiE At Coort-r" hooae T%imday You -.1^ with Tbanksgivinx Day.^^W^ a few days ahead many people « the county are making plans to Lqretta Young has the Import ant role of a madcap countess In “Caravan," Erik Charrell’s srec- tacular rhapsody which Intro duces Charles Boyer, Continen tal favorite, to the American screen. “Caravan’’ is the big attraction at the New Orpheum Theatre Thursday and Friday.
