CAKVS PKKACHKD SKIiMOV Union Thanksgiving services wero held at the Presbyterian church this orning at 10 o'clock. Special mu ffle was rendered by a quartette, con Bletlng of C. II. Fuller, Jay Vance, Miss Mae Graham and Miss Nell Ach wn. There was a large attendance. Thanksgiving Sermon Rev. J. B. Cams of the Methodist church preached the sermon. Les sons, Dut. 8:6-20 and Romans 13. l'aalms, 147:20, "He hath not dealt so with any nation, praise ye the God." Scarcity of space prevents 11s giv ing tho complete sermon, which Hould be well worth reading. In Heakiug of the growth of our n illon and telling of its history down Oic y.ars. Rev. t'arns said: In Inter years the patriot's eye dis cerned, upon the mountains' tops the rosy footsteps of the dawn of the glorious day of universal freedom in onr land. We have indeed been re quired to redeem our liberties by great national Sficriflces, greater by far than were the sacrifices which made us a nation. Our national pow er Is felt throughout the earth. China and Japan requested our na tion to furnish a plan of peace set tlement at the end of Chinese-Japanese war, which was done by our sec retary of state, John Hay. China awarded the U. S. 23 million dollars in gold for the Boxer outrages, our government returned 14 million, which they call "American indemn ity fund," to be used In education. They are sending hundreds of young men to our universities each year, and last year the number included ten choice young ladles. So that this part of the diBtant earth with the 400 million Chinese and millions of Jap anese and Koreans look to us for civ ilization. Fifty years ago a New Tork merchant built Roberts College In Constantinople, this school started with four pupils, but now has stud ents from nineteen nations and teach ing as many languages, property w h minions dollars and annual student fees 175,000. Our mechanical . genius stands peerless In competition. I saw the rrd mechanics at the Panama ex pos ition make and Bell a car in less than thirty minutes. The laboring man Is a power and his labor honor able. Our literature is abreast of the world. Our poets, painters, histor ians and divines, challenge universal admiration. Our population has In creased from 3 to 100 million since 1776. Here conscience is free. Var ious denominations keep solemn as semblies. Sabbaths are marked by worshipping multitudes. Millions of our children are educated In our matchless schools and Instructed in OUR PUBLIC FORUM F. A. Vanderlip On The Business of Banking The farmers City Bank of New aid In part: The Brat and voir upon which . ploynent of labor and the development of the community. But much more It accomplished than the use of the money actually deposited in the banks. Cor by the use of drafts, checks and bank sotea the efficiency of money It multiplied several timet over. A very large business, for example one of th great beef packers, may use very little actual money; on one tide of itt bank account will be entered the checks and drafts It is daily receiving from every Where in payment for meats, while on the other side will be entered she Checks it draws In payment for cattle, etc.. Us only use of money being for Small payments, to labor and otherwise. "It there were but one bank In a community and everybody paid all tills by drawing checks on that bank, and everyone receiving a check imme diately deposited It in the bank, the amount of money in the bank evldeotly would not change at all and the entire business of the community would he settled on the books of the bank. And when there are several banks, for they the checks they receive on each other, which practically offset themselvss although the small balances are paid In every large city there Is a 'Clearing anks meet dally to settle their accounts with each other. "A bank is constantly receiving from its customers, particularly those that . are shipping products to other localities, drafts and checks drawn on hanks tn other cities, which It usually sends for deposit to a few correspondent anus in tne central cities wun which it maintains permanent accounts. In this way these scattered credits are consolidated and the bank draws upon these accounts in supplying customers with the means of making payments away from Lome. As each local community sells and buys about the same amount abroad In the course of a year, these payments largely offset eatb other. It is evident that the banka are very Intimately related to the trade and industry of a country. The banker is a dealer In credit muck more than a dealer In money, and of course his own credit must be above question. He exchanges his credit for the credits acquired by bis costumers, and lends 1 credit for their accommodation, but he must conduct the business with such ' Judgment that he can always meet his own obligations with cash on demand. This is the essential tfclnf About book credit, that It thali always be Uc our Sunday schools. Bible societies place a Bible in every family. Benev olent orders In every community. Even now the war thought crowds us. Empires and kingdoms repre sented by millions of men are still 1 ilshlng on to the llelds of battle. Ag riculture, commerce, morals and re ligion are bleeding. Future genera tions are left in the hands of the wf'hk, decrepit and Inferior. The march of their civilization Is Imped ed. Had ten days' notice been giveu by Austria Instead of 24 hours, the difficulty could have been adjusted. The originators of the war will be cursed in every bereaved home. There will come a time when gun makers will cease to undertake to direct civilization. In answer to the prayers of God's children He will ov errule the events of the war. When the war with Spain closed, Cuba was free and the Philippines had a chanm for Christian civilization. When the war for the Union closed, the "stHtes' rights" had disappeared and the shackels of four million slaves were broken. God makes the wrath of man to praise him. The teacli'.nn of war lords and war pronioiers will finally fade Into savage heresies. One has well said. "The money we put In- ! to missionary work gives larger pro tection than the money we put 'nto battle-ships." This hatred iluropean conflict is making a contribution to the world movement among women. Not until the end of our Civil war did American won. en come Into their jown in education ami in social rec ognition. After the Russo-Japanese , war their women advanced, never I again to retreat to their inner apart ments. After the Balkan war, Mos lem universities opened their doors to Turkish girls. In Canton. China's most aggressive city voted to admit five women as members of the city council. As In China and Japan, wo men are being released from the suf focating Inner rooms. So In India they are coming into outside life. Pi late's wife was the ONE human be ing that plead for Jesus in his trag edy. Christianity means liberty to ALL. With the ballot women can go into the courts without being lum bered up with the decisions and pre cedents of the barbarous aces. GIVE THEM THE RIGHT TO VOTE. Lord Kitchener ordered "that no cases of wine or alcohol should be shipped to the front", j Germany, "The sale of alcoholic li 1 quors is forbidden." i France, "The manufacture of ab I slnthe has been suspended." Russia, "All drink shops through the Empire have been closed." i The world Is going dry and that will take in Alliance, and we will have a saloonless nation in 1920. I Thank God for a home in Nebraska. ' Forty-eight years ago she was a tei . rltory; at that time the school maps showed four-fifths of Nebraska &e 1 the Great American Desert. Great stretches of country was then seen without trees or dwelling. Now this i same supposed desert Is dotted with I good homes, embellished by trees and i groves. Just think Omaha, Lincoln, and Alliance, and other cities that have grown out of this soil. Our egg crop last year was worth more than the gold ou'put of Alaska. Place our eggs of one year end for end and they would make a necktie one and one-half times around the globe. We have the fourth largest state university in the Union. Small of this nation to come Into their own must study business. We must, as a class, understand the fundamental principles that underlie every Industry, its functions to society and ita relation to agriculture, for there can be no intelligent co-operation without under standing. Mr. F. A. Vanderllo, president of the National York, when asked "What it Bank? most familiar function of a bank la that of gathering op the Idle money of a community, mall sum and large, and thus forming a pool or reser responsible persona may draw as tney have temporary use for money. It it evident that this makes large turns In the aggregate available for the em- the situation Is but slightly changed dally exchange among themselves all in cash. This Is called 'clearing:.' an3 House' where representatives of tfcu est per cent of illiteracy of all the states. Thank God for great revival and the old time religion which has stood the test of the nps and lias proven Its fitness for alll emergen cies. The agencies of death have been around us all year. It is no small thing that we live. Myriads of our race have passed away. Youth and strength have withered at the touch of death. The Btrong man bowed himself to rise no more. How selfish have been our alms! How worldly our objects! How little we have thought of God! Yet, He has spared us. Many a family circle has been broken the son of promise and hope the daughter of loveliness and af fection the little cherub like a blooming flower, sent to earth to re mind us of heaven's purity Alas! they are not. Are our sons and daughters with us? Is our family all here? Surely then we are thankful. Into how many homes pinching poverty makes its abode. Dally toil could not pro vide for daily wants. Mark its nak edness and desolation. How Is it they differ from you? Are you thankful? God has filled our laud with plenty. 'Tin most fitting that we should come before him with THANKSGIVING. THANK GOD for peace and no war. No cause for Jeopardizing our liberties. The pos sibilities of our republic are very great. Let us pray that our nation may grow more Illustrious in all the true elements of national greatness. MORE .MEN THAN WOMEN HAVE APPENDICITIS Surgeons state men are slightly more subject to appendicitis than women. Alliance people should know that a few doses of simple buckthorn bark, glycerine, etc., as mixed In Adler-l-ka, often relieve or prevent appendicitis. This mixture removes such surprising foul matter that ONE SPOONFUL relieves almost ANY CASE constipation, sour stom- oh or gas. The INSTANT, easy ac tion of Adler-i-ka Is surprising. H.
