Some people were a shade short of gas for a little while, but Sapt. Ed Ruffner soon repaired the leak.

A
SYNOPSIS
OF THE THANKSGIVING SERMON DELIVERED BIT REV. NETHEHCUT
At the M. P. Church to a Large and Appreciative Audience this Morning. "Bless the Lord, 0! my soul, and forget not His benefits Psalms, ciii, 2.
In the autumn of 1821, on the shores of Plymouth Bay, Thanksgiving day had its origin. Many of the Puritans had died. All had suffered great bardsnips still they inquired, Have we not much to be thankful for? They looked the situation over and said, We have buried some of our number, but OUR lives have been spared. The harvest this season is abundant. The present is not altogether dark, and the future appears still brighter. They believed in God and resolved that unto Him they would return thanks for all these mercies. They set apart a day for public thanksgiving. A party of hunters were sent out into the forest to kill wild turkeys for the feast, and from this dates the connection vf turkey with Thanksgiving dinner.
For a number of reasons we should prize this day very highly. 1st. In the first place we should prize this day because in its ob ervance the family is recognized. The family is of divine origin. Thanksgiving is a time of family reunions. Back to the old home come the children and grandchildren. There are the sons and daughters, grown to manhood and womanhood, and as grandfather sits in the old arm chair, it seems to him but yesterday, when they were as the little grandchild, that climbed into his lap. How rapidly the years have passed and what changes they have wrought. Keep up these family reunions on Thanksgiving day. They will be broken up soon euough, anyway. By and by father and mother will not be in the old home. Their chairs will be vacant. The homestead may pass into other hands the rooms in which you are so joyful today will ring with the voices of strangers.
The speaker described a series of pictures and recited a little poem entitled "The Old Homestead." I thank God for home-life. The home should ever be kept pure aad sacred—a haven of rest from all the anxieties of life. Kindness, love, charity and fidelity should be its beacon lights. The home is the fountain head of society. Society, the church and the State will never rise above their fountain. 2. I value tajs day because it recognizes divine providence. We are liable to full into the habit of taking God's mercies and blessings as a matter of course without even making a show of gratitude. 3. Again I prize this day because it gays that as a Notion we have some regim! for God. The proclamation calling ns I together, was not the call of the chmch but of the chief exectivo of the N iti-'n, this is a Nations Thanksgiving day. Christian and non-Christian—Nations were compared.
As individuals we have a great many mercies and blessings for which wo should be thankful. No Christian man or woman can be a pe--inn-r,
As a Nation we .vo imn: I'.c which to be thankful, no great plague has visited us—over Columbia hangs no dark cloud of war, political doctors have claimed that she has been suffering from "Tariff fever," or an over gorge of silver, but America with her boundless and matchless resources is too great suffer long, and she recovers in spite of the political doctors.
The church has much to be thankful for, her growth numerically, intellectually, finaucislly and spiritually has been the marvel of the age.
The cry of the times is for applied Christianity, for Jesus Chri-t to be i:i carnated in human lives. When this done all needed reforms will be brought about.

The ladies of the Christian church opened the dining room of the new church to the public yesterday. Tney served dinner and supper, and most generous and excellent were the meals in quality and quantity. The dining room was supplied with seven long tables, seating eighty persons. The tables were tastily arranged with fine linens, dainty dishes and beautiful flowers. Many a hungry person visited this dining room and left with a grateful heart, a satisfied appetite, and many words of praise for the cooks. About four-hundred people partook of the tempting turkey dinner and about one-hundred and fifty were ready for supper. The ladies are to be congratulated on their success and also on the convenience of their new church, dining room and kitchen. The regular Saturday market will hereafter be held in these rooms. The church was enriched by yesterday's venture about $130.
