be intelligent. Faith has Its basis In tho

"It Is easy for every Individual to cata
logue reasons for being thankful today for

thoso things thnt I wish to speak, but
rather of tho things thnt ought to mako us

"Every race and every civilization Is
built around a distinctive Idea and devel
oped along certain lines, With the ancient
Egyptians It was sanctity of human life,
with tho Hebrews tho purity of religious
life, with the Greeks' 'upon beauty In all
things, and with the Romans It was the
majesty of tho law. The American life nnd
the American civilization were built around
a very different Ideal, that of liberty.
"The Greek and Roman republics nnd the
freo cities of Italy had n measure of lib
erty, but not such a liberty as we possess
today. It was rather tho freedom of the
classes, not of the people. It was a free
dom bought by treaeuro or by pcrsonnl
horolem. Tho Arnorlcan Independence, the
American liberty was a now birth and a
now thought. Our forefathers came here
that tboy might be freo to worship God
after the dictates of their own conscience
nnd whero they might, build homes nfter
their own Ideals. When they wrote the
Declaration of Independence they were
tatighed at by royalty and Its retainer.
Thoy went to war against great odds, hut
our Ood was with them and they came off
as victors and laid the foundations of this
great nation.
UnfoldliiR of l.llirrty.
"The first contest of the revolutionary
fathers was a struggle for the everlasting
principle that all men nro created free
nnd equal, nut when our fathers fought
for that independence not all men were free,
for thero wero thousands of slaves In this
country. When the Declaration of Inde
pendence wan written and the constitution
framed the black man was still in bondage.
And so your fathers and mine responded
onco moro to tho bugle call nnd went to
tho battlofleld, not to fight for their own
liberty, but to strike off the chains from tho
black man.
'And how this groat Idea of liberty un
folded In our late war. How tho brave
sons and grandsons of those who were
opposed In the great civil conflict fought
sldo by nldc In tho war for humanity. It
was waged not for torrltory, not for ma
terial gain, but thnt liberty might become
the heritage of tho downtrodden and of tho
opprossod. The lust of territory auii of
gold lies at tho bottom of nearly every
war and so when the nations of tho world
saw tho young giant como out of tho west
with tbo avowed Intention of bringing free
dom whero freedom wan unknown, they
laughed, they ridiculed. Hut our ships of
war destroyed that second Spanish Ar
mada and, the nations have seen the truth
of our declarations and tho development
of our liberty, which has not reached Its
limits.
"It is not many days ago that wo saw
an appalling instance of what may come
from liberty, from unrestricted freedom of
speech nnd of press. It came from that nest
of vlpors, tho anarchists from all parts of
tha world, whose object is strike down from
lta place of majesty all government among
all people. Aro wo, as a peoplo, oblivious
to the fact that this freedom, this liberty
of ours, has momentous problems which
must bo solved? Behold the swarms of
Ignorant humanity coming to us from tho
south of Europe, 80,000 from southern Italy
alone tn tho past year. They aro settling
In tho cities and causing a congestion which
must be reckoned with.
"While today we have great reason to
think God for tho unfolding of this great
Idea of liberty, wo must not forget the
problems which it has brought. God every
where haa laid by the side of tho paths we
travel problems which His people must
solve."

Said a happy old Christian woman as she
kneeled to quench her thirst from a cool,
sweet brook, 'This "nnd Jesus nro too much.'
"Our nation has much to bis thankful for.
It Is the best country on tho globe. It has
tho fertility of Egypt, the beauty of Italy,
tho brightness of Greece, tho hcalthfulness
of the sea and nenrly all tho variety of

Rev. H. O. Herring read the scripture lesson
and the Bermon was preached by Rov. Sum
ner T. Martin. Mr. Martin's theme was
"God's Hand In American History," his text
being Fsalms vlll, 8-11. The speaker re
viewed tho history of tho country from the
landing of tho first vessel on American
shores, tracing the hand of Ood In tho
efforts ofCoJumbus to secure the means
of making the voyage, which, according to
the discoverer, had for one of Us purposes
the dissemination of tho doctrine of Christ:
lp tho landing of the Pilgrim Fathers, whoso
exodus from Europe was distinctly on re
llglous grounds and who sought on these
shores an asylum where they might In peace
worship the. Lord In the manner which
seemed to them right. From these Massa
chusetts colonies grew other colonies, the
hand of God appearing In their growth ns
men or liberal ideas were driven from the
original colony to carry the word of God to
tho forests and to set up shrines and
temples of worship in the wilderness.
The men who laid tho foundations of the
republic were Christian men, who based tbo
government upon Christian principles, nnd
these principles underlie every ,fabr!c of
respected American life.
Muslo at the service was furnished by the
regular choir of Kountze church, the solo
being sung by Delmore Cheyney.

which was by Rev. D. K. Tlndall of tho
Trinity Methodist Episcopal church. In his
remarks Dr. Tlndall said:
"We should cultivate the spirit and habit
of thanksgiving to God. Of nil the
creatures of earth only man Is capable ot
returning thanks to tjie Creator. The
earth drlnketh In tho rain that enraetu oft
upon It, but gives no thanks. The flowers
are Indebted to tho sunlight for their ex
qulsltn beauty, but they can express no
gratitude. Instinct is not able to give
thanks. The swine returns no thanks to
the tree which drops the acorn, nor does
tho horse give praise to the foddor In the
manger or tho grass In the field. Hut as
the child may reflect the kindness ot Its
father In Its acts of gratitude, so may, the
child of graco show forth tho love of God
In grateful words and ways. Wo thank our

how much more we should hnw gratitude

MASONS HOLD BRIEF FESTIVAL
St. John' Lodge. l.Utrnn to n Short
rroKrnm Prior to a Soclnl
Dinner.
Tho annual Thanksgiving celebration of
St. John's lodge. Ancient Free and Accepted
.Masons, last night at Freemasons' hall was
one of tho most successful of tho meetings
nt which the members and friends ot tho
lodge nsemblo with tho women of their
households. Tho Inrgo assombly hall was
filled with tho members .and their guests
when at 7:30 o'clock the program opened
with an overture by tho Boyd orchestra.
The general theme of the evening was
'The Grand Lodge of England," nndta paper
on the founding of the lodge jvas rend by
w. W. Kcysor, past grand master of the
Nebraska Jurisdiction.
Tho paper went back to St. John's day-
June 241717, which Is fixed" as the date of
tho beginning of speculative Masonry, the
lodges existing prevlohB to that time de
voting their time to tho work of operative
masoury In the construction of buildings.
According to writers of that day Masonry
In England had declined until there wero
but four subordinate lodges and a decrepit
grand master In tho country or, at least. In
London. These four subordinate lodges
united to form the Premier grand lodge of
England, which later united with another
grand lodge claiming equal Jurisdiction to
form tho mother grand lodge of tho world.
Judge Kcysor paid high tribute to the early
grand masters, who did much to advanco
tho cause of spcculntlvo Masonry.
This paper was followed by n solo. "My
Desire," by Mifu Loulso Kellogg, after
which followed nn. address, 'The English
Grand Lodge of Today and Its Branches,"
by Georgo W. Llnlngcr, past grand master.
Mr. Llnlngcr spoko without notes, his re
marks covering many nhases of the niiMm-t.
Tho speaker found that In England less time
Is devoted by Masons to matters of legis
lation, while moro tlmo Is spent upon char
ities. The proceedings of ono grand lodge
session was shown, in which tho general
report occupied about sixteen quarto pages,
while in this country 160 pages aro not re
markable. This, the speaker said, Is be
cause English Masonry holds In high esteem
the ancient landmarks of masonry, while
in this country tho desire for Innovation
causes laws to be passed which must later
bo repealed.
Miscellaneous meetings of a Masonl"
character are unheard of In England and
women never enter tho lodgeroom. English
Masons maintain four charitable Institu
tions, supported by tho united grand lodge.
The lato queen was a patron of these char
ities and since her denth the grand lodge
nas appropriated 300 guineas to bo used In
erecting a monument to her memory.
The king of England was tho grand mas
tor of the English lodgn until his accession
to tho throne, when he was succeeded by
his brother. The real presiding officer Is
tho pro grand master, but tho management
of the society Is in the hands of n general
purpose committee, which decides ques
tions which in this country are submitted
to tho grand master.
Following the address of Mr. LInlnger
there was music by the orchestra. Merwla
Maynard read "My Mother Lodge," by Kit)
Hug, and Jo F. Barton sang "Tho Holy

A crowd, estimated at S00 to 1,600 people,
was present at the ceremonies attending
the formal opening of the Twenty-fourth

Tho celebration began at tho corner of
Twenty-fourth and Leavenworth streets,
whero the room of the Southwest Improve

for sovcrnl blocks was decorated with flags
and bunting and tho committees of the club
were busily engaged in preparing for tho
celebration from early morning.
At 2:30 o'clock Brandt's Musical Union
band marched to the corner of Twenty
fourth and Lovenworth streets and for half
an hour played various Inspiring airs. In
tho meantime the south end of the viaduct
was fltllng up with the carriages ot people
who drove down early to get good positions
to hear tho addreescs.
Notables Proceed to Vlndnet.
At 3 o'clock the procession formed on
Leavenworth street and, headed by the
band, marched to the viaduct. , In tbo pro
cession were: Mayor Moores, W. J. Con
nell, city attorney: Andrew Rosewater, city
engineer; members of tho Real Estate ex
change, members of the Prospect Hill and
North Omaha Improvement clubs, with
nearly a full attendance of the Southwest
Improvement club.
Arriving at tho viaduct W. H. Oreen,
president of the Southwest Improvement
club, called the assembly to order, briefly
told of the reason for the gathering and in
troduced Mayor Moores. The wind was
strong on tho viaduct and all ot tho speak
ers wore troubled by this, the remarks of
the mayor being heard but a short distance
from the platform, which had been built
upon a wagon and hauled to the center ot
tho new roadway.
Council HcuitcM Vladnet Hlatorr.
The mayor said that he congratulated the
Improvement clubs, the city and the resi
dents ot South Omaha upon tho completion
of tho viaduct, which opens to travel the
natural means of communication" betweeu
tho two cities. Ho said that ho hoped to
seo the day when, through tho efforts of tho
Improvement clubs of the city, Twenty
fourth street will be opened from Ames
avenue to South Omaha and a line of street
cars operated the entire length, thus bind
ing In closer bonds tho cities of Omaha and
South Omaha, which, while under separate
municipal governments, nro one In their
purposo nnd development. He said that
the completion of the vlnduct at this time
was due to tho persistent work of the mem
bers of tho Southwest Improvement club,
who gave no rest to city or railroad officials
until tho work had been accomplished upon
tho lines advocated by the club and ap
proved by the city engineer.
Ho advised the members or. tne ciud io

by which the city paid two-fifths ot tno
oxpenso and the railroads tho balance, and
then recited tho enactment ot the law
under which the Twenty-fourth street via
duct was built wholly at the expense of the
railroads.
He said that the completion of the road
way on Its present lines was due to the
unyielding demands of the club and ndvlsed
tho members to continue tho good work
for the advancement of the Interests of
tho southwestern pnrt of the city, knowing
that what Is of benefit to one section will
be of benefit to the entire community.
KnRlncer Ronewater Give Credit.
Andrew Rosewater, city engineer, was
then Introduced, but declined to mako a
speech, saying that the work of his depart
ment, as evidenced in tho structures de
signed by It, should speak for the depart
ment nnd its oftlcers. He told, however, ot
the difficulty In getting railroad, offlctals to
