"Cod's Gift and Our Gratitude was the theme of the sermon at Hope Presbyterian chapel last evening by the minister, Rev. George William Allison. The sermon was in the nature of a Thanksgiving meditation. In part he said: "If there are any people upon the face of the earth who have reason to bo thankful those people are in the I'nited States. In a time of world hatred we have managed alone of the Kreat nations to escape the rioroes pain?? of warfare. We have been blessed abundantly with material blessings. Our crops arc greater than ever as touh th? g"od Lord knew that wo must have a share in feeding the starving millions of our fellows whoo fields are untitled except for the? wicked devastation of trenches. It Is not because we are better people than our brothers of Kuropc: we are of the same desires, the same passions- in very deed of the same blood. (M:r g" eminent has been acting largely Under the same presuppositions as those whose fortunes have been pitched in war. We can alone ascribe to the providence of God the fact that we have escaped and they have suffered, in very truth we can pray 'We are not worthy. Lord, of thy gracious gift., so freely vouchsafed us.' We are no more worthy than they. Let Gratitude lie Sincere. "Further let our gratitude .:enuine and sincere. The only thing worse than that inhuman monster we call an ingrate is the more hideous monster called a hypocrite. Let us rather be frank in our ingratitude than feign a grutltudo wo do not fiel. Honesty is a higher virtue than gratitude; sincerity than even thanksgiving! "Nor let us be content to be satisfied with the material blessings in abundance which we possess, nor let

Three Cigarette faults to Avoid

CHRISTIAN HOPE

Hev. J'rosliley Declares It Mir?t lelt tt Ue Undcrtoed by Man.

"There is but one hope that can cheer us when life's hours are darkest; there is out one hooe that can stand by us in our helplessness; there Is but one hope that can light up the chambers of death; there is but one hope that can dispel the clouds that gather around us in our dyinpr hours and that hope is the Christian hope." said Itev. W. H. Freshley. pastor of the First Evan sol ical church, Sunday morning in his sermon on the subject, "The Christian Hope." "The great longing of the human heart today is for peace, comfort and hope. Kk'hes. power, position cannot give this hope. There is just as much sorrow and heartche in the

paiaee as m mo novel, .no one is so well able to meet, life's sorrows and heartaches as those, persons who have

uu:en ennsi lino ineir inc. inis hope canned be delined or explained; only he who has it as a blessed reality in his life can fully understand it. "We were poor lft sinners without hope, God our Father in mercy, has redeemed us and Idled our hearts with joy and thrilled our souks with hope. We have light for our eyes, sound for our ears, air for our lungs and food for our bodies, but we cannot satisfy our soul hunger with light, sound, air. food or pleasure and they are all failures as hope producers. "Fame, wealth, personal charm will get us nowhere when we come to the judgment.- Tho only thing that will help us on that day is the hope born in our hearts by having; Christ as our Lord and King. We cannot gauge our hope of eternal life by our church membership. S'dino of the saddest

people on the great day when Gabriel '

blows his trumpet will be those who counted on their church membership to save them while they went on living without Christ. The Christian religion makes our life happier, it makes us better and it makes us more cheerful."

First, avoid cigarettes that don't just suit your own taste. Second, avoid those that bother your throat or tongueThird, avoid those that make you "feel mean" after smoking all you want. If Fatimas, for instance, seem to you to be guilty on anyone of those three counts, we say, avoid Fatimas.

We mean what wo gay for, when it comes to the t asre, Fatimas can't possibly please everyoodj' no cigarette can do that. But Fatimas do please more men than any other cigarette costing over 5c That's one reason why you should try them. Another reason is because they are so SENSIBLE so free from any "after-feeling."

If you want to know exactly what a "sensible" cigarette is, just try Fatimas by these two

tests. Do that little thing today you'll be glad.

John was love, and when he spoke of the subject he poke straight from his own heart experience. "Paul, in spite of wonderful intellectuality and powerful jrip on all things, did not have heart experiences with love. He knew what love was; but never felt it. And since one cannot really know love until he has felt it, Paul was far the inferior ef John as a lover. "So one can have wronsr views of

euestion of "Modern

Church Attendance." "Now if there be a decline In church attendance, or if men have fallen into the habit of neglecting the church, why is it? Dot us look at some of the causes for nona-ttend-ance. "In the first place there is tho thought that one church is as wood as another. I mean that among many

Protestant folks there has grown up,Mns are the idea that ;ill churches are aliko ! Saviour

and it does not matter much which church a person attends. Now I admit there is some truth in this statement, but whither does it lead? It leads to indifference toward any church. My experience and observation have that the man who does not tie up to any church sooner or later thinks that he does not need to go to any church. I think the motto of Hishon Simpson is a good one, I live

The fact that sin is the source of all our il's was brought out by Itev. II. U. Hostetter, pastor of the Westminster Presbyterian church, Sunday evening in his sermon on the theme, "The Helpless and Hopeless Received by Redeeming Dove." The discourse was based on the healing of the paralytic by Jesus. "At first thought," .said the speaker, "it f-eems strange that the first words addressed to the paralyzed man concerned his sins and their forgiveness. The man had come to Jesus for bodily healing. Why was it that Christ said to him first of all. Thy

forgiven thee'? Pecaue the with divine Insight. looked

straight into and through the man. He saw that with him as with every one, the first great need is for de

liverance from sin. Possibly the man had lived a reckless life and his paralysis had been brought about by his dissipations. Jesus wanted to purify the fountain that he might purify the stream. Sin is the source of all our ills and when humanity is free from sin it will be free from all its in-

God if he becomes thoroughly familiar with John's gospel. We have for- ! gotten God's love: for Jesus. The fath

erhood of God to Jfc-sus Ls greater than any fatherhood of man to man. ("Jod had an infinite love for His .Son and made a great sacrifice to tho world. "God is the Fountain Head of love. It is very diificult for a mother, whoso babo has just been buried, or for a husband at the fresh grave of his mate to believe that God is love. Put He is love infinite; and it is impossible for our finite minds to fathom the

! death of that Infinite affection.

Christ's death on the cross was not for the purpose of appeasing the wrath of an angry God. The old theology that taught that God was a god of blood ,of thunder, of passion, of anger ,and of revenge is to be discouraged. God is love and He takes tenderly to His bosom the child that perishes before it reaches the threshold of manhood and womanhood. No longer do we consider our babes children of perdition."

MUCH TO BE THANKFUL FOR SAYS REV. BURNS

Rep. William Worth T.ailey says Pryan will not become a candidate Certainly not; he doesn't have to, as he always is, state comment.

A Thanksgiving sermon was preached la.st night at Trinity Presi u i ian church by Rev. John s. Hums in which he spoke of the many things Christians have to b thankful fcr besides the material things of life. "If wo .are grateful to Christ for only the material things we are getting out of life, we have only a few things to be thankful for. Hut if wj are grateful for the spiritual things of life we have many things to be grateful to God for. "Ten men came to Jesus and they all had leprosy. They asked Him to cleanse them and He did .so. They did not ask for shelter, food or clothing, but only to he cleansed. After they were demised only one of them returned to Christ to tnank Him for what he had done. Nine of these men wer" ingrates while but one was grateful. "If (lod in Christ has healed ns of the leprosy-like disease of sin and is keeping us day by day from, it. we have a preat deal to be thankful for."
