HILL GIVES

EXAMINE ALFRED THOM

WASHINGTON, Nov. 29. Today's session of the congressional committee investigating transportation problems was devoted wholly to continuing the cross examination of Alfred P. Thom, council to. the railroad executive advisory committee. - ' .," !

Continued from page One said Rev. Hill, "to the reading of the president's Thanksgiving proclamation, calling upon us to assemble in our places of worship and there give thanks and praise to Almighty God for, his kindness to us. It is fitting that we should do as our chief magistrate directs, not simply 'because our rulers so order, but; for the reason that we.bavedivine authority for the same. , v '- r ; v : '." God Gave . Moses 4-aw . "In that olden ' time God took Moses, the leader of the people, to the mountain top and gave him his law. Among others :was this: "Three times! shalt thou keep a feast untolme in the year.' The second of these was the Feast of the Harvest. ?-y-, :)- ."Probably the world had never witnessed the: parallel of; these; Hebrew anniversaries.;. :'At' their! approach the whole nation jawoke to .the holiday; every heart bounded;: every, eye flashed. The. valleys -arid mountains were made to ring with anthems of praise. The leaders and., captains , of the tribes, ' with the mighty men of the earth,, sages, philosophers, conquerors and kings, from farthest lands cam in pomp and power to Jerusalem. The city of the great King was thronged with glad and grateful thousands. "Our morning text was part of the grand choral anthem. "We should bow in grateful adoration this morning to God of the har

vest. He has given us rain from heaven ahd fruitful seasons. We who live In cities ofttimes determine whether or not we are prosperous by the state of the stock market, by the ability to discount notes at the bank, by commerce,' and the number of men found in the market places.. Is our commerce on the sea? Are our factories belching forth smoke night and day? "Sometimes the princely manufacturer casts his eye over the crop reports and says, 'Well, there is a splendid corn crop this year; breadstuffs will be cheaper," and the poor should be thankful.' God Blesses Rich and Poor "As if the fruits of the earth were more to the poor man than the rich. Blind man that he is! Let God shut up the heavens, that they rain not -and parch the ground into barrenness, then what becomes of the rich man? Can he grind his gold into flour or Jeaven his bank stock into bread? "Our workshops, the sails of commerce, the pen of genius, the eloquent tongue of the orator, the trappings of wealth, all-all have power and being because God blesses the toil of the farmer. We might manage to live without manufacturers, without mariners, without orators and politicians, congressmen and some legislators, but absolutely certain I am that we can not live without plowmen. "We have numberless other anil higher blessings. In respect to all things, not merely the natural fruits of the earth, but all great human interests, political, intellectual, religious, we may be said to live in the world's

great harvest time- We have reaped and are reaping the finest of the wheat. : 7; o': "As a world power today, we; should bow: in thankfulness to Almighty God. He hath strengthened the bars of thy gates. It is my conviction that of all people that on earth do dwell we should be the most devoutly grateful. All Europe is in the throes of the most ghastly and senseless war in history. In our far western world we dwell in peace. We, a blessed and happy people in all our borders, should gather in temples of praise and offer to God Thanksgiving. . "When we think "of Plymouth Rock and Jamestownrour history Is a story of marvels.- He hath not dealt so with any nation. What more could God have done for us that he hath not done. Unto no creatures out of heaven has there been accorded a lot like ours.. Living in this twentieth century, free men, free Christians, we seem to stand on the very mount or God, flung up in the waste of the ages, for the enthronement of His Son, Christ Jesus. 'God of nations be with us yet! Lest we forget! Lest we forget!'" - With the impressive peals of the pipe organ, and the beautiful anthems of the First M. E. church choir, tho music formed an important part Jn the service. In the congregation were members of Reid Memorial and Second Presbyterian churches. First, Grace and Fairview Methodist churches, First Baptist, West Richmond, East Main Street, South Eighth Street and Whitewater Friends' churches. First and Central Christian churches ?nd North Fourteenth Street mission.
