The Forum (All articles for this column must not exceed 300 words. Contributors must sign their names, although the name will be withheld by the management at the request of the writer. Articles having no name attached will be thrown Into the waste basket.) A REMARKABLE SERMON At the earnest request of many who heard the wonderful sermon preached at the Reid Memorial church on Thanksgiving day by the Rev. Andrew F. Mitchell of South Eighth Friends' church, he has kindly consented to present a synopsis of it for publication in our city papers; as hundreds and doubtless thousands who could not be present to hear this wonderfully appropriate Thanksgiving sermon for such a time of world-wide trouble and dire commotion as never before shook this old world of ours will read it with no ordinary interest. A synopsis of the sermon follows: It is not only a beautiful custom to gather at our places of worship, once a year at the eall of the chief executive of the nation, but it should be an occasion to every citizen of the republic of profound gratitude and thanksgiving to Almighty God. An ideal Thanksgiving would be a day of radiant sunshine, following abundant harvests with garners and larders and cellars and warehouses well filled, and exports piled high; crowding the places of worship with eager gratitude and retiring to the old home in family reunions to sit again around the table board in the inexpressible joy and hilarity of domestic life. Across the states with speeding cars the children come with more children to look into the faces of father and mother and give them good cheer and brighten their hopes in the fading years. From colleges and universities the boys and girls hurry back to touch the home base once more and soften the sense of lost companionship and separation from family life. And who wilt dare to measure the influence of these annual thanksgivings in family and national life. These perhaps, are ideal, but those which have found a place in history and marked with emphasis the world's life were begotten and launched in adversity rather than in abundance and great prosperity. When men had left their homes and families exposed to the pioneer dangers of frontier and savage life and resolutely faced famine and bitter winter at Valley Forge; when conspiracy and cabled plots at the nendquarters of the confederated colonies were testing the faith of heroes and shattering the hopes of patriots; It was then that faith unexampled in modern times, burned in the bosom of Washington until he withdrew from his bleeding soldiers at Valley Forge into a secluded thicket and there tinder the crushing burden of foreign tyranny, and domestic treason lifted his streaming eyes to God in thanksgiving and gratitude for an unshaken faith in the triumph of truth, righteousness and justice over every foe. When the .children of banishment gathered in the Mayflower, facing win ter and wilderness and famine, they registered a historic thanksgiving and formed a holy compact born of gratitude. Thanksgiving never arose from human lips with greater exultation tfcan he who lived in constant peril of land or sea. Whether he stood upon a slippery plank in shipwreck; whether under arrest at Jerusalem; whether receiving forty stripes save one; whether chained between two Roman soldiers, or entombed in a cold dark dungeon St. Paul could say "Thanks be unto God who giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ," "Pray without ceasing and in everything give thanks." Thanksgiving then does not depend upon the abundance of the things which a man possesses but is born out of gratitude to God. No fruit of the spirit called into action so graces christian character, gives courtesy to conduct and allegiance to God like the voluntary expression of gratitude. Shall we then not be able to make this thanksgiving universal? If there is such a being as the dictionary calls an atheist, he can have little or no part in the purpose of this Sabbath day of the nation; for he has nobody to thank. If there is a creature who is a materialist and believes this universe to be the product of "a fortuitous concourse of atoms" he can have no part in these services, because he has no place to bestow his thanks. If there is a third being who assumes that God is impersonal, a somewhat instead of a some who, he cannot share our fellowship on this great day, for thanks and gratitude are bestowed only upon intelligent personality, if it be possible that there are such beings let them play this part, that they thank their unhappy stars

that they are few In number and not as other men. - ' ' Soon after the beginning of this World war a few voices came up out of the deep distress of humanity, !Why does God permit such cruel tragedy?" As though He waa responsible. Human beings are free agents, even to saying "No" to omnipotence. Israel once wanted A king against divine approval. The Lord through Samuel told them the consequences. They still insisted and the Lord granted their petition and even chose them a king. A divided kingdom, the lost ten tribes, a crucified Christ and the dispersion of the remnant is the answer to their request. I have an address delivered in Poughkeepsie, New York, by Prof. George Kirchway in 1912. He shows conclusively that by our civilization and advancement there can be no great war in the future. Had we been there we would no doubt cheered his utterances with the ardent "hope that it might be true. He was followed by the chairman of the meeting who stated with confidence that there never could be a great war between England and Germany because of the dominating influence of the Bank of London as a financial center. Three years and a half of the war has dragged heavily by. Our angle of vision and thinking has been changed. This war looks to us today as natural a harvest as was ever gathered from field or orchard. If we identify ourselves with the world's life we must confess that we have planted and nourished the things that foster and produce war. With the hand of divine sovereignty yet upon the helm of the world's administration we read again "Whatsoever a man sows that shall he also reap." It would have been doubly strange had this war not come. Years ago I had a brother who lived in Howard county, thirteen miles from Kokomo. He had a large family with six or seven boys. One day he decided to go to Kokomo on business and one of the little boys wanted to go along. The father could not grant the privilege. The next Sabbath morning they all got ready for Sunday school. The little fellow still wanted to see Kokomo and persuading a still younger brother and straying from the Sunday school path they turned their feet toward the county seat. They never had undertaken a journey and knew little the distance to be covered. Their legs were short and their weary steps grew shorter. It was evening when they reached the city. They were hungry and tired. They were reminded that they had had no dinner. They had no place to go for dinner or supper. They had no place to pillow their heads or rost their bodies. They thought of home as never before. Lost dogs and lost boys alike betray their confusion and are soon detected. A kind officer found the lads and heard their confession, gave them their sapper and conveyed them back to their country home thirteen miles away. From the temper of the father I would have expected a little local discipline for emphasis, but he did not. He said it was enough. The boys had learned the worth of home. The leader has now grown to middle life but he still clings to his mother's apron strings and lives at home. And so God permits a wayward, wilful world to wander from the path and after being torn and bleeding by the brambles of the forbidden way, to come back discounted by the losses of transgression. "When thy judgments are in the earth te inhabitants of the world learn righteousness." But what providence has brooded over us in the past to prepare us for this hour? Ninety-six years ago ray father drove an ox-team along this National road from New York state to western Indiana to enter and establish a new home in the forest. He built a saw-mill and carding machine. He was capitalist and . laborer. He worked alone. The rolls were taken to the homes where the hum of the spinr.ing wheel and the bane of the lcom prepared the dry goods for the home. It was the day of individualism. One man built a house. One shoemaker measured the feet and made boots for the whole community. A blacksmith made a wagon and delivered it entire to the purchaser. Men were independent of one another and met the needs of the simple life. , Steam pjwer invaded the realm of industry located in the cities and men rushed to the cities to find employment. Factories grew up. Division of labor increased the product. Now it takes twenty men to build a house: sixty men to make a 6hoe, a hundred men to make a wagon and thousands to make an auto. Men of a hundred dialects jostle together and must learn the courtesies of co-operation. Dependence grows out of division of labor. Brotherhood and fraternity and mutual confidence and trust becomes the solution of united

effort. Men are forced to study the problem of others. Self and selfishness fades in the degree in which we provide for and recognize the rights of others. These changes have come upon us not fro our choice but the oncoming evolution of industrial and commercial life. America has had a supreme opportunity for extinction of race prejudice and the triumph of brotherhood. If an Anglo-Saxon should vent his spleen on race prejudice against the black race, let him remember that every negro in this land is a historic rebuke to the injustice of the white race, and every mulatto is a concrete exposure of his unchastity. God has made of one blood all the nations of the earth and democracy pledges equal opportunity and privileges of all men before the law. Modern conditions have drawn the ends of this old world together until we are within handshake of all the races of men. All nations are camped in the same dooryard. The evening .

paper gives the day's happenings of the planet. - In the Spanish-American war I followed the lead of Senator Hoar against the world expansion and entangling alliances of foreign nations. We must confess now, we did not see tie larger movements of the world toward the mutual solidarity of the race and the federation of the world. Whether we will or not, we are being drawn to the recognition of our fellowmen. Democracy has sounded its note of humau equality and , privilege and equal justice to all, and whatever throws discord into that regime must fail. Duelling could not live in it. Slavery failed. The lottery is gone, and legalized commerce in alcohol is doomed. Inherited privilege and empty titles of inflated honor with the multiplied brigands of greed claiming the divine right to rule even though supported by Prussian militarism cannot live in the atmosphere of democracy any more than a powder magazine may repose in the throat of Vesuvius. The throbbings of history today are but parts of a great world movement, and. we must set our sails to the trade winds which touch every shore. The great missionary movement of the last hundred years is the harbing-e?-of world fellowship and the reign of Democracy. These movements of history are the tardy fulfillment of the clear vision of the Man of Galilee. While Jesus was of the Jewish race he was never caught in their narrowness and provincialism. Let us notice the far reaching vision of his program. John the Baptist make introduction of this champion of universal democracy by 6aying, "Behold the Lamb of God which taketh away the Bins of the world." The world has been waiting long to hear Him speak and early in His ministry he gave us that great evangel that "God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son," "I come not to condemn the world but that the world through me might be saved." And when he turned to His disciples He said, "Ye are the
