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

evening. The kindliest of those
who contributed to this fund enn
never be forgotten.
