Mr. Hyde took his text from Genesis 12:8
"And I make of thee a great nation. I will
bless thee snd make thy name great and
thou Shalt be a bleisihg."
In part he said:
"In Abraham, God was working out ths
plan of a great nation. The nktlon that
took its rise In Him was to be a great
nation with a great blessing from God out
of which was to come a great blessing to
the world snd -what God Inaugurated In
the life of Abraham that, will He complete.
"A glance backward through the. fast re
ceedlng centuries reveal the upward trend
of nations. Bach succeeding sge ss pro
fane and ssored history will corroborate.
Is an advancement over the preceeding one
and history will repeat Itself, likewise. In
the succeeding generstions. Ws believe
with Tennyson that
Through the ages one Increasing purpose
runs.
And the thoughts of man are widened with
the process of the sun
there Is one far-off divine event toward
which the whole creaton moves. Progress
Is in the nature of things. It Is the spirit
If the heavens within the wheels of our
humsn activities. In all the centuries
which have gone before God has been con
triving to make our nation what she is,
'the land of the free, the homo of the
breve.' Here God Is working out the theory
of nations. . Ours Is to be a great nation
with great blessings from God out of which
Is to come a great blessing to the world.
This Is the faith of optimism Justified by
a national record unparalleled In the his
tory of nstlons.
He who has studied ths record cannot
fail to see the providence of Ctod In the
building of ths republic. Front the begin
ning of the men Who helped to shape the
national destiny have been : meti of faith.
It was their rare spiritual vision that made
our fathers first among, the architects of
stste. ' It was spiritual passion thst
changed a fratlcldal war Into a battle
of freedom. It was spiritual power that
made the Cuban war humanitarian rather
than a war of conquest.
If the centuries have taught us any
thing it Is that God founded this republic
to first apprehend, then enjoy and then
give to a sin cursed snd priest ridden world
civil snd religious liberty. - So deeply im
bedded In this truth In the. grain of our
national history thai . the corrosion of
time will not be able to face It.'.'
THANKS FOR I'.V'MIIZLKD ' PRESS
Dr. McGlffln Is Grateful to Nad fop
Free I'tterances.
"We should thank God today for an un
muzzled and humanity-loving press, which
declares again and again the purposes of
the constitution and advocates' sane and
righteous reforms." '
This was one of the expressions of
thanksgiving uttered by Rev. Nathaniel
McGrffln D. D., poatbr of 1owe Avenue
Presbyterian church at Clifton-Hill Presby
terian church. Forty-fifth and Grant streets,
where these two ghuhches and tha Walnut
Hill Methodist church combined their

"Offer unto God thanksgiving, a part of
Psalms 60:14, was the text of Dr. McOillln.
He spoke of the custom of the forefathers
which has grown into a time and God
honoring fact.
"Gratitude Is Inborn," said the minister.
"Character Is based upon sublime optimism.
We cannot lose sight of God. On this
Thursday. November 26, we hail the es

"We thank God for a national vision and

"We hsve a keen sense of the white man's

HUNDREDS OF PIES FOR SICK
Hospitals and Homes Aro Brightened
by Cheer of the Day.
Three hundred and twenty pies, specially

were young again. Each Inmate was given
half a piece of pie, one-quarter of mince
auu wio inner or pumpKin, 10 lop oil a
feast that would make the mouth of even
a high liver water. The base of the meal
waa chicken. There wsa mashed potatoes,
sauce and fruit of all kinds. At 12:30 o'clock
230 patients sat down to the feed and Super
intendent Ferrer, profiting by past experi
ence, hss laid In an extra supply of stomach
medicine for tomorrow.
All hospitals In the city gave their pa
tients such good things as their conditions
permitted and the dsy was brightened Just
as much ss possible.
Three turkeys with dressing wss ths big
feature of tha dinner given the thirty chil
dren at the Creche Thursday noon. Ths
donations of delicacies were so liberal the
children had a big feast, which those who
were old enough enjoyed thoroughly. On
the bill of fare wss cranberry sauce, celery,
sweet potatoes, six pumpkin pies, lettuce.
and In ths afternoon the children were al
lowed to eat apples and oranges to their
hearts' content. Mince pie wss cut out of
their allowance because In the opinion of
the matron It la not a proper article for
Juvenile digestions to tackle.
At the Old People's Home and House of
Hope residents were given the pleasure of
a good dinner and many kind expressions.

"The Thankful Life" waa the theme of
Dr.. Conley's sermon and be took as his
text the words from Corinthians slll:12
"Now sbldeth faith, hope, love, and the
greatest of these Is love." In part he said:
"We have In these words the philosophy
of life. It does not matter what blessings
sre bestowed on us If we haven't the
hesrt to appreciate nfiem. Faith and hope
and love are the elements thst fill life
with thsnkfulness snd gratitude. They are
the foundation of the?' nation's ' condition.
The nation's greatness depends on the In
corporation In our, lives of these funda
mental principles. It is largely so because
of our principles. WV ire fundamentally a
nation of faith. We have great hope In
the future and we are seeking to work out
the thought of brotherhood."
MORAL V PI. I ST IN THE JiATIOX
Saojeet of Thanks la Sermon by Rev.
Jean Marker.
Reminding his hearers that this country
has been visited with no pestilence, war,
anarchistic . upheaval, earthquake or
calamity within the last year, but on the
other hand had experienced a great moral
uplift, has enjoyed peace and prosperity
and been especially,, law-abiding. Rev.
John Spyker, pastor ef Trinity Methodist
church, in a sermon at union service held
Thanksgiving morning In the North Pres
byterian church gave reasons why the
American people should be thankful. The
minister took his ,text from I Chronicles
16:31-34:
Iet the heavens be glad and let the
esrth rejoice, snd let men say among
nations, the Lord relgneth.
Ijet the sea roar, -and the fulness thereof:
let the fields rejoice and all that Is therein.
Then shall the tree of the wood sing out
st the presence of the 1ord, because He
cometh to Judge the earth.
Oh, give thanks ynto the Iord, for He Is
good, for His raercy endureth forever.
Beginning with the discovery of America,
Mr. Spyker trsced the hand of God down
through the centuries, through the battles
with Indians and foreign nations, In the
colonisation snd upbuilding of the nation,
to the present time when, as the minister
ssld. Ood has given us the greatest nation
on esrth. ''
"If man will cast about to find things to
question his sense of gratitude, he will be
given greater range of thought and breadth
of mind," said Mr. Spyker. "And If he
will stop long enough midst the busy hurry
and activity of life to take one considerate
look at nature and the Immensity of hfs
Creator, he will .'know more of the Im
measureable goodness of God and HIS
thoughtfulness of him.,
"The text Is van expression of a great
heart, thanksgiving Is a necessity. Any
thing Is a necessity, which hss a good use
Which nothing else ' can supply. The
original Idea of Thanksgiving la two fold;
first, to render thanks to God for psst
blessings received; second, to beseech
the throne of grace for future preservation
and guidance. This being true, the Ameri
can people today can1 give thanks on this
Thsnksglving dsy whole-heartedly, and
truthfully, for have we not received many
blessings? Look back and see and you
will find naught" of "hardship and want,
pestilence and war, disaster and destruc
tion. But you wlif find peace, prosperity,
joyfulness snd happiness."
Six churches joined hi the services st the
North Presbyterian: Immanuel Baptist,
Trinity Methodist, t'nlted Presbyterian,

CITY . MISMOVr. FVEHD9 .. SCORES
Miss Macro Sees that Poor Families
Aro of Forarotten.
Many needy families living In the Third
ward, where there are no kind rich neigh
bors to. give swsy baskets of food were
helped to an appreciation of the spirit of
the Thanksgiving dsy through the sgency
of the City mission. Names of poor fam
ilies thst would thsnkfully receive even ss
little as a loaf of bread or half a dosen
potatoes, were furnished by Miss Majree to
those of the more fortunate who wished to
give food, clothing or money, and these were
sometimes delivered by the mission helpers.
Quantities of fdofl were slso handed out
to the poorly clad but smiling urchins who
early Thanksgiving morning stormed the
old frame building at Tenth and Capitol
avenue occupied by the City mission, and
timidly asked for a gift by telling Miss
Magoe that she "guv somethln' to some
body else." '
Small donstions were msde to almost
every child who celled st the mission dur
lng ths dsy, although the store of goods
at hand was smaller thsn ever before.
This wss because the mission authorities
had not received as much from the schools
this year ss they hsd formerly. The more
needy families were given more, one fsm
Uy of six small children from lower Dv
enport street tsklng away a sack of pota
toes snd other staple articles with them.
"Kin we wstch the birdies, please?" ssked
a pair of tota who preferred to tslk to the
tame canarlea in the Urge csge in the mis
slon building rather than to play out doors
In the wind. Their clothes were insdequate
snd hsd many, holes In them. Other chil
dren enjoyed games of "tag" or played In
the sand pile.
The "Sunshine Baby." as Miss Mi gee rslls
her, came With her brother, two years older.
The boy wss given a package of tood. but
the "Bunshlne Bsby:' disdained any pack

In speaking of the Thanksgiving work by
the mission Miss Msgee ssld:
"Most of our work this year wss In find
ing people who needed assistance snd then
discovering persons to help them. We Se
cured many dinners for the families who
were In extreme need, snd then for (hose
who Just wsnted a few applea or potatoes, a

their dinner, we hsd a store of supplies to

"Children generally rame to the mission

Regular services will be held Thanksgiv

tend, and a dinner for the mothers snd
babies of the district Is being planned for
some dsy soon. This will be the annual
Thsnksglving dinner, slthough It will come

DAY IN WASHINGTON
(Continued from Page One.)
trlbutlon should likewise contribute. Every
church, every fraternal and civic society
of the race, every colored man of means,
should feel the obligation to complete this
Dunaing as soon as possible.
Ulfts from Colored Men.
Let me mention a couula of cases In
which colored men have contributed largely
to work of this nature.
A colored man. born a slave In Knox-
vllle, Tenn., was so much Impressed with
the value of the Young Men's Christian
association work among the white young
men, that he gave a piece of property cost
ing $2,0U0 to the colored Young Men's
Christian association. He had the honor of
having given the largest gift up to that
time of any Individual In the state of
Tennessee, regardless of color, to the as
sociation movement.
Another colored man. who waa born on
the gold oast of Africa, came to this
country at an early age, was befriended
by the Philadelphia Young Men's Christ
ian association and by the use of their
library prepared for a competitive examina
tion, entered the University of Pennsyl
vania after winning the prise, received his
education, and is today a very successful
physician In the cltv of Portsmouth, Va.,
gave !.00 to the building fund of their as
sociation a year ago. He also gave ikju
for current expenses the first year the as
sociation employed a secretary and says:
The reason I made these girts is because
I owe nil I am to the Young Men's Christ
ian association.
Many other cases might be cited showing
how the work appeals to reputable colored
men in many sections or the country, i neie
Is possibly nothing needed woTse In alt our
cities and towns thsn well-organised Young
Mens Christian associations which shall
stand for character building In the three
fold way In which the Young Men's Christ
ian association endeavors to do Its work.
It pays far better to support the secretary
of the Young Men's Christian association
in a community than to pay tne salary ot
a policeman. Homes are made safe and the
community Is lifted to a higher level by
lifting these young men to better Idess of
life.
Interests of White -Men.
-As for the white man, let him remember
in this, as in sll other matters, that to do
Justice to the colored man is demanded
not only by the interest of the colored
man but by the interest of the white man
also. Sooner or later In this community
every class of citlsen will feel the effect of
tne raising or degradation or .- any otner
class. "All men up," Is a much safer motto
than "3ome men down," and It Is to the
Interest of every class of any community
that the members of every other class shall
feel that Industry, sobriety, good behavior,
the conduct that marks a man as being a
good neighbor and a good citlsen, should
receive a proper reward, so as thereby to
put a premium upon the development of
such qualities. 1 am not speaking of social
relations; I am speaking of equality of
treatment before the law, of equality of op
nortuiiUv to earn a living: of equality of
opportunity to earn the respect that should
be accorded to the man who oenaves ae
centlv, nnd Is a good neighbor and good
citizen. There are Dlenty of difficult prob
lems In this country, plenty of problems
requiring Infinite patience, forbearance, and
good judgment, if they are to be dealt with
wisely, and which cannot, ny any pussi
bllttv. receive even an approximately cam-
plete solution within a short time. What
is known as the race problem Is one of
the most difficult, and it existta In the
north as well as In the south. But -of one
thing we can rest assured, and that is. that
the only way In which to bring nearer
ths time when there shall be even an ap
proximately fair solution of the problem
Is to treat each man on his merits as a
man. He should not be treated badly be
cause he happens to be of a given color,
nor should he receive Immunity for mis
conduct because he happens to be of a
given color. Let us all strive, according
to our ability, and as far as the conditions
will permit, to secure to the man of one
color who behsves uprightly and honestly.
with thrift snd with foresight, the same op
portunity for reward and for living his life
under the protection of the law and without
molestation by outsiders, that would be his
If he were of another color. The avenues
of employment should be onen to one ss
to the other; the protection of the laws
should be gusranteed to one ss to tne
other. Each should be given the right to
prove by his life and work what his capaci
ties Sre. snd should be Judged accordingly.
Each is entitled to the reward which he
legitimately earns ir ne nenaves nimseir
well; each should be Judged with the same
severe impartiality if he behaves 111. The
same fair treatment should be accorded
both, snd every effort made to give equal
onportunltv to those of equal capacity and
! character. It Is the duty of the white man
to see that exact luetics Is meted out to
the colored man, the same Justice that h
would receive if he were not colored: and
upon the colored man Is Imposed the duy
to make himself a useful citisen, to so be.
hsve as to win the respect of his while
neighbor. The performance of duty should
be the test applied to white man and
colored man alike, and each Individual
should be Judged, not by the fact of his
color, but by the way In which he meets
these demands of duty: and the first fluty
which each colored man owes notn to him
J-self and his rsce Is to work for the better
ment. It is to tne great interest or me
white people, no less thsn of the colored
neode that sll possible educational faclll
ties should be given the colored people
and It Is of even grester interest to both
races that the colored man should steadily
strive for his own Industrial and moral up-
'i"' Teach In a by Example.
To teach by preaching is never as good
ss to teach by example. No words
advice and enoourcment on my part
csn count In sny way compared to wha
has actually been dune by those colored
men who have shown by their own sue
cess In life how a colored mm can raise
high his standard of good citizenship. I
Is the colored man himself and no outside
who can do most for the colored race,
I want to cull your attention and th
attention of all who care to listen to me
to the noteworthy record or the town o
Mound Ilayou in Mississippi. I stopped
at Mound Bayou a year ago while goln
through Mississippi. Twenty years ag
the Dlace was all wilderness. Now
thriving and prosperous town has bsen
built, with a thriving and prosperous coun
try round about; and every man In the
town, every man In the country round
about. Is a colored man. In the Planters'
Journal of Memphis. Tenn.. a while man
paper, there is a description In an Issu
of a couule of years ago of Mound Bayo
under the heading of "The must remark
able town In the south." This pane
describes how the town has been founded,
populated and managed purely by men
of tne negro race, ii is a innvini, grow
Ina- town of Z.ono people. There Is not
saloon nor a vicious resort of any kind I
tha town. There are some C.CO0 peopl
on the tract of land of which tha town Is
tha renter. TTIS tract tnciuaes about
forty square miles, all of It owned by the
colored people thomselves. Ten thousand
acres of land are in s high state of cul
tivation. There is a big cotton crop, and.
n addition, the colony produces four
fifths of the corn and hay It needs, with
msny hundred of horena. mules, cattle and
hogs. In ths town Itself there are six
churches and three schools. There Is a
bank with a capital stock of !0,n. which
does a thriving business. The sssrsswl
vslue of the land In the town liself Is
nesrly ta.'Mrt. There are sawmills, gins,
blacksmith shops, bakeries; all witnout a
white Inhabitant In the neighborhood. The
people are prosperous and singularly law
abiding. Their white neighbors have
treated them well. The county sheriff
employs a colored man to set In the town
In the capacity of deputy sheriff; snd the
railway and express company have a
colored man In their office since the depot
was established . In the town: while the
Board of Supervisors appoint colored rotd
overseers. The town has fori y-f our mer
cantile and business houses, big and little,
of sll kinds, which do an aggregate annunl
business of about It .. Surely such a
showing by an exclusively colored com
munity mt-aris very much for tha future
of the colored rsce. Of coursp. the foun
ders of ths community were picked men.
Nevertheless, It Is an object lesson full
of hope for the colored people snd there
fore full of hope frir the white people, too,
for the white man is almost ss much in
terested ss the colored man In seeing thst
the latter rises Instesd of falls. Mound
Bayou has taken the lead In establishing
the Mississippi Negro Business league. Its
members are not content with taking care
of the business Interests of the community.
They have recently sent out a circular
addressed to the negro farmer, the circular
being signed by Mr. Charles Hanks, the
president of the business league. This
circular concludes with Die following ad
mirable advice: "ee to It that your po-
atnes sre well housed for the winter.
Kill enough meet to not be forced to call
on the merchant so early ss in rormer
ears, snd Instead of spending sll the
money you have cleared from your crops
during circus, festival snd Christmas times,
or visiting places from which you moved
the year before. Instead of spending your
money for things that profit you nothing.
If you have no land, begin to buy; If you
ave land and are not out, or deDt deposit
our money In some good bank and pre-
psre to meet your obligations when due;
If you have land end sre out of debt, buy
more or Invest your money In some good
securities, or besutly your farms by bulld-
ng good nouses, barns snd fences; aiscara
he old common stock or nogs, cows.
horses and mules and buy better grades.
Purchase up-to-dat farming Implements
whenever practicable and learn to make
your crops ss good snd ss easy ss the
Ideal western farmer. When the negro
farmer can measure up to what T have
bove Indlcsted. he will be a happier snd
more useful citlsen snd his white friends
will delight to hsve him In the Innd."
Mr. RnnriD of the bureau or plant m-
ustry of the United Btates Department of
Agriculture three weeks ago secured' a
number of copies nf this circular because
he regarded the advlee as so well put, sr
sound and so timely that he wished to
circulate It ss fas as possible. The people
of Mound Bayou have done sdmlrably
or themselves; they reflect credit upon
he whole country; and. shove all. they
are performing an' Inestimable service for
the colored race.
It Is sn easy matter to do business
through The Be Want Ad columns.
HEAD 0' WELLDRESSEO HAIR
A Very Great Addition of the Beauty
Of All Womanhood.
WORRY CAUSES HAIR FAILURE

Some susceptible gentleman-philos
opher once declsred: "One hair of a
woman can drsw more thsn a hundred
pair, of oxen." No one will deny that
woman's beauty and attractiveness are
both enhanced by a head of well-dressed
hair. Women who are. worried because
their hair Is "thinning out" have good
cause for rejoicing. They owe a vote of
thanks to Dr. Nott, the Southern scientist,
who has In his Hair Tonlo given to
womankind a preparation that la designed
to promote the growth. of thickness and
length of hair. It will prevent hair from
falling out and once your head la free
from dandruff. It will keep It clean.
Some people who wash their faces four
or five times a day are content to give
their heads a "dousing" once a month or
even less frequently. The fact Is, the hair
gather more dirt, fiHh and germs than
face or body. The hair provides a good
hiding place for these advance agents of
disease.
The habit of using lr, Noll's Hair
Tonic is a sensible one snd Its use is no
more expensive than that of good soap.
tooth powder or other toilet Inulspensa
bles. The woman of today Is paying more
attention to her hair than she once did.
Cleanliness and gentility are well culti
vated by the use of Dr. Notts Hair Tonic.
It can be had at the Myers & Dillon
Drug Co. One bottle may be secured free.
