rotoutb Sourna if VOLUME XXX PLATTSMOUTI1. NEBRASKA. MONDAY DECtt.UIJKIi 4,1911 NO 9 1 HAKilG SERVICES Mil HELD AT GERMAN ST. PAUL S GHURGH Nearly All The Churches Were Represented and Took Part In the Services, and All Were Very Much Delighted With the Excellent Sermon of Rev. W. L. Austin, of the Method ist Church, of This City. From Friday's Daily. , The Thanksgiving- union .service held at SI. Paul's Evangelical church yesterday was well attend ed by all denominations. The scripture lesson was read by Hev. Steger of SI. Paul's church; the prayer oll'ered by Rev. Gade of the Presbyterian church, and (he dis course made by Hev. W. L. Austin of the Methodist "church. The music consisted of hymns and a Thanksgiving anthem by the Presbyterian choir. The anthem was "Now Praise, the Lord," by Hasclcr, and the solo part was sung by H. A. McElwain. The text used by Hev. Austin was a scripture from Moses' writings referring to the leading of Hie Isrcnlilcs by the hand of God, and was a strong presenta tion of I he theme of our nation's posiiion among the nations of the earth, and the manner in which the hand of (lod bad led this re public since its first small begin ning to I he' present lime. He ire faced bis remarks by a few in troductory words, which, in sub stance, were that we ought to be in a reminiscent mood on this day; that Thanksgiving was not so much a national or state mat ter, but an individual matter. Nothing in the way of formality or proclamations, would answer, though such formality might be useful in arranging the pre liminary for a coming together, yet the supreme test is the in- i!ivW".?l r'ij'udo of wiehwcjM?!..;. i f garding its attitude toward the power, omnipotence and goodness of (lod. In the proclamations there is often loo few references to God, while Ihe material, fruits, harvest and live slock are all re viewed; we should not lose sight f the fact that the true pros perity was the prosperity of the soul. On this day we think of Ihe home-comings, and it is a blessed thing, but Ihe numerous ways in which Ihe day is spent in games and sports and the like, is not Ihe spirit that should prevail. The speaker believed that the time was coming when the history of the United Slates would be regarded a sacred history; that the hand of ADVERTISING IN THE MONTH OF DECEMBER Not Only for Christmas Shoppers, but It Is the Harvest Time for the Liberal Advertiser. December is the greatest trade month in the year. The Christ-i mas habit of holiday purchases has spread far beyond mere tinsel knickknacks, and it lakes in Ihe widest range of useful articles of household value. People delay purchases for the home all through the fall in order to hand them over December 25 as Xmas presents. A great deal of winter clothing for the use of both grown-ups and children is bought during that month. For the liberal advertiser it is the harvest time of the year, lie does not have to persuade people that they need lo buy. Hut they are eagerly studying the news papers to see who gives the im pression of having the most com plete slock and reasonable prices. The conservative little store on the side street that trusts to tho renown of past tradition, will not need any extra clerks. The public values enterprise above any other quality, and enterprise was never demonstrated by sitting down in a corner and shutting your moth. The public also values honesty very highly, but it fails to see why honesty is not more likely to be found with those, that guarantee the quality of their goods by in vesting money liberally to tell Ihe public about them. G. W. Goodman was a visitor in Omaha yesterday. E (iod was ami had been leading this nation all the years. "We are living in the most wonderful country (lod ever al lowed any people to possess," said the speaker. "And the relations of man to (lod in the political af fairs of the country are receiving more attention today than at any time in the history of the nation. "As a people, we are making progress toward higher and better things. The influence of the his- story of the past on our actions of today is strong, (lod did not wait for us lo come onto the stage of action before lie began doing things. We are what we are as a nation because we are standing on the shoulders of our fathers." The. speaker then referred lo the move of some, not many years ago, to eliminate (lod from the t'nited States' constitution and lo drive the bible from the public schools, and the recommendation of a leading statesman lo leave the molto, "In (lod We Trust," from the coin of the United Slates and the matter had been lost sight of. The severance of (he re ligious from the slate was a dan gerous proposil ion. An incident In the early history of this country was recalled, when the French fleet sailed into Hos ton harbor, when only a handful of American troops were there lo meet the foreign foe. The patriotic, God-fearing people le- 7wsi tttbei. places of worship, churches, chapels, school houses, and prayed for deliverance from Ihe enemy. A storm arose on the bay and shattered Ihe fleet, and the few vessels that remained de parted from the American shore. There are dangers now lurking greater lhan al that lime, and the vision man can see today of Americans trying lo throw off corporation control and Ihe de liverance which a righteous God will send as answer to Ihe prayers of his people, is one of the things we should feel thankful for. The sin of the Jews was ingratitude, and we should be ever watchful or we will fall tinder Ihe same charge. Candidate for the Legislature. The llrsl candidate to tile for Ihe legislature in Lancaster coun ty is lion. Edwin Jeary, formerly of Cass, county, which county be represented in the legislature in 1880-7, and he made a most ex cellent member, loo. Mr. Jeary was a resident of Cass county a number of years, and his record was always that of 'a good citizen and one that had the best in terests of his community nearest his heart, lie made an able rep resentative of Cass county, and one of Ihe very best thai the coun ty ever had. The Journal and Mr. Jeary do not agree, political ly speaking, but we never allowed politics lo sever our social and friendship relations. To say Ihe least, Mr. Jeary is a most excel lent man and one who possesses the ability lo serve the people of Lancaster county, not only with credit to himself, but more so willi credit to the people of Lan caster county. Mr. Jeary resides in Lincoln, where he has been connected with the interests of that city for a number of years, and our word for it, if he is elect ed Ihe people can rest assurred that they -will have a represent ative upon whom they can look with pride. Card of Thanks. The ineinbsrs of the lire com pany wish lo express their sincere I hunks and hearty appreciation of the liberality of the mayor, coun cil, merchants, business men and citizens of the town in tendering the company the sumptuous ban quet served on Thanksgiving evening.

The dance after the play was also a very pleasant affair. A large crowd was in attendance. The music was fur nished by the M. W. A. orchestra and was of fine quality. All per sons present enjoyed the evening to the greatest extent possible. THIRD BANK Kit Arranged Today and Preliminary Set for Some Time Next Week. sheriff Quint on has been on the lookout for Ihe third man in the Wabash and Louisville robberies of September 28 and 2'.), and Wednesday night his efforts were rewarded by the arrest, of one, George Little, who was brought to this city and placed in jail. At (lie time Ihe other two were ar rested by officers in Omaha a third man was apprehended who was suffering from a gunshot wound in I tie right arm. 'This man was turned over lo the Shelby county, fowa, authorities as a man badly wanted for a bank robbery at Panama a short lime before Ihe Wabash robbery. This man has since had a preliminary bearing and was bound over to the dis trict court of Shelby county.

Every detail for the comfort and pleasure of the dancers was looked after by tin committee on arrangements, and .the music of Ihe orchestra lent a charm lo Ihe evening's pleasure. Punch was served throughout the evening by two beautifully dressed HI lie girls. The programs of silver color for the gents and gold for Ihe ladies were passed to the dancers as they entered Ihe hall. The music furnished by Ihe M. W. A. orchestra was the best that could be procured. Many from Lincoln and Omaha were in at lendance and the ball was in every way a grand success. Fire Boys Have Banquet.
