NORUN A, N C , NOVEMBER 18, 1927 Within the Shadow of the Fata! Ax OOOMEO TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE THANKSpH'tKG FEAST THnstNl^ In November of That Year American Cause Was at Lowest Ebb. There was no Thanksgiving procr tarnation in November, I77C. (Jongress did, indeed, pass a resoiution sum moning the peopie of the severa! coio nies to assembie, hut in prayer for deliverance, not of thanksgiving. The American cause seemed at that mo ment to be a!! but-hopeless. Wash ington was retreating across New Jersey. Leaving Newark on the 28th of November with an army of 5.000 that graduaiiy dwindied, he crossed the Raritan with scarceiy 3.500 starv ing and haif-naked troops. In New York, then'in the hands of the Brit ish, Genera! Howe was issuing a proc iamation which might have been con sidered a prociamation of thanksgiv ing for some. It was one bf pardon to a!! who wouid renounce the Decia ' ration of Independence. Twenty-sev en hundred accepted. Nation's Eariy Sufferings. The infant republic. surrounded by foes, for the Indians were rising, was aiso suffering from the condition which has iateiy been epidemic in* Europe—a depreciated currency. The news that American representatives^] had succeeded in getting aid from, France in the way of uniforms and equipment for soidiers and other sup piies had not yet become known to the Washington troops, whose route as they approached the Deiaware ' was easiiy traced, as there was a !itt!e snow on the ground, which was tinged here and there with biood from the feet of the men who wore broken shoes.'' It was in these desperate days that Washington wrote to ids brother saying that if every nerve was not strained to recruit a new army to take the piace of the troops whose term of eniistment was expir ing, he thought the game was "pretty near up." The dame of the camp fires about which those who remained faithfui to the desperate cause were gathered furnished, however, a hope fu! ray for Paine's "times that try men's souls." . - it is with such a background of extremity, approaching defeat, that } the eon R4r.y'Wf^eht4)ese patriot son is suffered to-t^pke independent cotnes to its nfffmnai- Thanksgiving today. J^With a third of )he weaitf) of the worfd in its hands/as has been esti mated—ami with most of the goid— with abounding crops and "much goods iaid up for many years." we have coifective nmterin! reason for gratitude beyond any otiter !)eopie on the face of the eartin But in . con gratulating ourseivea as a n:dion atni Jndividuais that we have p:tssed an other year.ip "tire of the A! mighty" and that "He has stinted on our fiefds/' are we doing more^han Sosicies, Fite Greek tifier of tite soii. over 2,000 years ago. %vito dedicated to "Demeter, iover of wheat," a few handfuis of corn "front tite furrows of his tiny tieid." having reaped an abundant ' arvest and desiring anoth er year, by the same favor, to carry back his sickie hiunted from his hnr* ^vest? Gratitude for these things? Yes. but with a consciousness of the obiigation which that sufficiency ! brings and with no thought of taking ^ur ease in the earth or letting it go its own way white we enjoy our goods jn seif-induigent isointion. One hundrejl fifty years ago our an cestors prayed for deiiverance from restrictions upon their, rightfu! iih erty. Today our prayer shouid a iso be for deiiverance as we!! as in thanksgiving—deiiverance from the arrogance of seif-sufhciency. from the pride of materia! power, from swag gering ciaims of superiority. We have iearned to endure hardship, we have proved to the worfd our active and heipfbi sympathy for suffering wher ever it has come to mankind, we have demonstrated aiso our resourcefulness and ingenuity in ditlicuity and our feariessness in danger. We have known how to face adversity. Our prayer in the prosperity that has come*upon us. is that we aiso shouid "know hoilr to abound." Better Form of Prayer, ft were better that we shoutd join aH humanity in tim simpte thanks giving prayer winch Epictetus sug gested : "Ought we not when we are digging and piowing and eating to sing tins hymn to God: 'Great is God. Who has given us such impiements with which we shai! cuitivate the earth: great is God. Who has given us hands, the power of swaiiowing, a stomach, im perceptihie growth. nmWhe power of breathing white we sieep.'" / But the reai things to be thankfui for tie stii! deeper in tite friendships of the spirit of men and of nations.

Day Ternis to Foster Spirit of Kindliness on.^whiqh the nation is cailed to tiie giving of thanks is a home and famiiy day, and as such is a vaiuabie institution. Those who have no homes are often invited to become for the day members of fam ines that afe biessed with them, in a word, the home - that is in aii out thoughts today is the hospitahie home. And that is wet!. There is great need in these times to deveiop and strengthen the famiiy feeiing, and to weid it more closeiy as a social unit. To the accomplishment of that work a property observed and honored Thanksgiving^ day may powerfuiiy contribute. To give thanks for what? —some may ask. But that is not at aii the thought. TtVhat is important is that there should be in aii a thank ful spirit, a right attitude toward iife, whether considered spiritually, or ^ma terialiy, and a frame of mind that knows something of contentment and inward peace. There is much for which to be thahkfui if one opiy iooks at iife and its problepas and difHcul ties—and biessings—in the right way. The day wouid remind us that kind liness is a great virtue, and that the worid would be happier if there were in it a good deal more of the spirit of friendliness—even among nations. —Indianapolis News. Day to #e#ect on WAy to Do 7AanAM It is one filing to be odiciaHy thank ful and quite another to be actually and personally so. To accept Thanks giving as an admittedly welcome hol iday; to spend it at honid enjoying a good dinner followed by a comfort able nap and then to go out for a call or two on friends is not enough. One might do this and still. not he in the spirit of the day. As the greatest of the apostles has written, "the letter killeth^ut the spirit giveth life." To be in the spirit of Thanksgiving is to redact upon the reasons that one has for national, family and personal thankfulness. Maybe a glance at the pages of a school history of our coun try might help to quicken the pulse and brighten the eye. Possibly a steady gazing on the familiar features of Washington or Lincoln might be an aid to resection. Senftmenf 7Aaf UpKffa Gratitude is one of the npbiest sentiments which weiis from the hu man heart It purihes, upiifts and;en nobles. It is an attribute of stability in character. A man may have many imperfections, but if he is capabie of gratitude he is far from being ait batt And when gratitude is offered . t# the Most High, it brings the soui into tune with the Divine as scarceiy anything eise can. ^ afffrfrrrrrrrrrrrrr'****'*^*' What's the / *********** Quc#f:on# ^Vo. 24 1— What was the name of the In dian girl who guided Lewis and Ciarke? 2— What is spontaneous combustion? 3— Who is the 18.2 baikiine biiiiard champion? . 4— What opera is founded on the pathetic love story of a Japanese giri and an American naval ofHcer? 5— How far is Hew York from Phila delphia? 6— Who were the leading members of the "Concord school'^ of literature? 7— What is walnut and what is it valued for? 8— What will be the number of the hext congress? 9— What i& the sun's surface and its , vdlume compared with the earth? *10—Wh&t great statesman once wrote for the New York Evening Post? -11—What United States city is pop tAarly known as the "Pittsburgh of the South"? 12—Who was the first man to swim the English channel? ^ . 13—When was the Best; Thanksgiv ing^ day celebrated in Ney Engiand? ? 14^—Why are , fingerprints msed ton *idcntidcation? .

Great Fmoftonaf Role Long WitLoat Friends The role that is now considered by most actresses to be the world's great est emotional part—Camille—once went begging for some one to play it, points out a noted actress in an ar^ tide in liberty. "When it was first written the part was refused by every actress in Paris," the writer exp! dins. "Then, after it had gone begging for months, it was picked up and played* by Madame Eugenie Doche, who need ed a part very badly because she had been Hi and off the stage for a long time. So Madame Doche goes down in history as the first to play Camille. "Since then," the writer continues, Mit is,probably true that Camille has been played by more and greatei ac tresses than any other role in the world. It was the part that won Sarah Bernhardt her first universal praise. Eleanora Duse played the part ,to cheers and tears, although quite differently. And* there were so manv others—-Helena Modjeska, Clam Morris, Rejane, Fanny Davenport, Nance O'Neill, Olga Nethersole, Mar garet Anglin, Ethel Barrymore. No wonder that Camille has been called the world's greatest emotional role." THE .. rrcHEN CABtt€T ((Q. i$37. Western Newspaper Union.)

Pineapple is one of the best iiked fruity and tends itself so happily to many aisues. A am;e of pineapple baked and served with a heiping of baked ham is especially delightful. A sauce to serve with the ham may be prepared with the pineapple juice, ham liquor and a bit of Hour to thicken. Whep the fresh pineapple is used with gelatin in desserts and salad?, it is weil to remember that the vege table pepsin will digest the gelatin and more of it is needed to stiffen a dish. pineapple acts on the mucous mem branes of the throat, healing indamed areas. Pineapple Salath—Cut into .small pieces the sliced canned pineapple and mix with almonds which have been blanched and allowed to eiand for an hour in enough pineapple juice to cover.

PRIMARY TOPIC—What God Wanta Us to Do. JUNIOR TOPIC—What God Requires of Us. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP IC—What God Requires of Us. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP IC—The Prophetic Interpretation of Religion. " ' Micah prophesied during the reign of Jothan, Ahaz and Hezekiah, in Ju dah, but his message largely concerned Israel. He is called the prophet of the ^)oor. .He proclaimed impending doom upon the workers of unrighteous ness and- heralded the coming of the MeSsiah. !. Evil Workers Benonnced (2:1-3). 1. How thqy^worked (v. 1). Their evil w^k waS not a matter of impulse; butof.-deliberate purpose. *. (i) it was conceived in their mind. They gave themselves-to the devising of wicked schemes. (2) They worked evil upon their beds. They used the quiet hours of the night while honest people were sleeping for planning ways to work out their schemes. . . (3) They executed their plans in ^ the morning light. Having power to carry out their schemes, they did what their wicked minds devised. 2. What they do (v. 2). (1) They covet Reids (v. 2). ' In this they violated the tenth com mandment. - (2) They violently take- Reids and houses. , ___ A covetous spirit will eventuate in such deeds , unless restrained. (3) They oppress a man and his house (v. 2). By house is meant a man's descend ants,? the inheritors of his property. 3. Their punishment (v. 3). Against such evil doers God is de vising a righteous retribution which will fall upon them with such weight as to humble them. !!. Upon Whom Judgment Shall Fall (3:1-12). 1. The unfaithful rulers (w. 1-4). Because of love for the evil and ha- t tred for the good the rulers merciless ly destroyed the people. 2. The false prophets (vv. 5-3). They served for hire. As long as supplied with food, they prophesied to please the people. 3. The judgment which is to fall (vv. 9-12). Jerusalem was destroyed because of the sins of the people. Just as the righteous retribution feil then, we can be assured that there will be no es cape from the^ coming judgment for those who destroy the peopie. HI. God's Controversy (6:1-13) Wicked men may go on to a certain time with their schemes, but eventual ly the Lord's requirements shall be met. 1. The hills and the mountains caiied to bear witness against Israel (v. 2). The people had turned a deaf ear to God so that inanimate creation was called upon to witness against them. 2. The guilty party left to state the case (v. 3). The King of the universe abdicates His rights and allows His sinning people to make charges against Him. 3. God recounts His mercies unto the people (vv. 4, 5)^ Having paused for the charge and none having been brought, the Lord thrust home upon their conscience the memory of His great mercies. (1) He brought them out of Egyp tian bondage (v. 4), He has done even more for us who were under bondage to sin and Satan. (2) Sent before them a trio of lead ers (v. 4). Moses, the lawgiver; Aaron, the high priest, and Miriam, the prophetess, were sent to bear witness. (3) Turned Balak's curse into a blessinglhrough Balaam (v. 5). 4. God's requirements (w. 6-13). (1) The great question, "Wherewith shall I come before the Lord?'' The Jews could not deny the charge brought against them by the Almighty. (2) The complete answer (v. 8). a. "To do justly." Strict equity was to characterize all their dealings with their fellowmen. b. "To love mercy." The heart was to be diligently set to do good to our ^ fellows. c. "To walk humbly with thy God." This means to recognize that we are sinners before God, with no claim upon Him except His pardoning love.
