DRESSEL DESCRIBES CAUSES FOR THANKS IN PRAISE SERVICE Invisible forces and moral facti were brought to the attention of a con gregation at First English , Lutheran church special Thanksgiving services this morning by Rev. F. . A., Dressel, whose text was, "Rejoice in the Lord Always, and Again, I Say Rejoice." He asked his congregation, to. Join him in thanks for blessings of individuals and the nation. Special music by the church choir and by Roland Nusbaum, organist, was an important part of the holiday program. "First of all," said Rev. Dressel in the Thanksgiving sermon, "there is the silence of national peace and safety, a fact to which we have grown so accustomed that it scarcely arrests our grateful attention. In the second place, there is the silence of a great national credit . Think of the volume of . business done In this land every year, and how seldom you see a gold coin pass from hand to hand. In the third place we ought to be thankful for the silence of independent-political thinking. "We are to rejoice always, not sometimes but always; not only when it is clear, but also when it is cloudy; not only when we are prosperous but also when we are In adversity; not only when all men praise us but also when some would Injure us. "We owe it to God to rejoice because of His unfailing goodness to us. We owe it to others to rejoice because It is a testimony of God. We owe it to ourselves to rejoice always because we are the children of the King. "By so doing we will convince the world of the reality of our religion. We can give no testimony more sublime and more thrilling. Rejoicing Christians are the unanswerable argument of Christianity." LITTLE CHANGE NOTED IN FOOT EPIDEMIC KANSAS CITY, Mo., Nov. 30.
