Chicago L i.JV.V a': t.:-7: Gift ' ' S AN' evening of this week It occurred to a man, silting alone In nn upper mom, tliat Thanksgiving l:iy was right nt haml. So he bestirred his ndiid to consider those things for which nn American might sensibly .offer up gratitude to Go. ' lie reflected thut across the Atlantic millions et human beings were nt that very moment en ePicvd in the dreadful task of killing other human fcelngs wl:h every Invention which Ingenuity and kill could bring forth from the laboratories of adenee and the workshops of Industry. In other, lands at that very moment tens of .thousands upon tens of thousands of helpless toiV feeble, aged men and women, mothers with fcahes clinging convulsively to their breasts, little (Children sobbing In terror, a vast army of the In nocent and the anguished wore enduring the ex iemltles of exposure, of hunger, and of despair M they fled from their wasted farmsteads and turning villages, escaping from the pitiless cruelty (pf ftivnge niea only to lie down to suffer and die hoder the pitiless skies of God In the winter and the Mtter storms. At that very moment most dreadful war hid lialf the world In the blackness of Its darkness jatMl from fMf horrid cloud rained destruction larpon unhappy Furopc upon her ancient capitals, (ctpon her pleasant cities, upon her villages, her JWds, her temples, her treasures of art, upon nil :the accumulations of n thousand years of genius, f learning, of Industry, of skill and of patient advancement of the happiness and the civilization atf the race of man. So he that considered all this wickedness that irns being done under the sun, this drunken danco jef death and hell above the fetid corpses and the multitudinous graves, this avful nightmare of In describable woe and wrath, said In the bitterness jf his heart that no Cod ruled over such n maniac trorld end there was no thanksgiving due to tho ('Awer tT (lifts that were not good, but everyone altogether evil. And when tha man had mnde an end of his thinking, he went and stood In a window and looked out upon the evening, because It was fair to M. lie saw In vision nt that Instant the vastness fit the republic and the multitude of the good and happy folk who live under the shelter of Its trencth. He reflected how brief a time had thus aaagnlned the works of our pioneer fathers and r pioneer mothers, those brave and simple men UikI women whose names should never be men tioned with anything but profound gratitude. I And to this American, glad with n great prMe la the deeds of his people nnd the story of his rwintry, nnd grateful to the Goodness which has jmlded and sheltered his fathers nnd his folk, lifted u.i his eyes to the night, to the qulet'stars, to the brooding Immensity above, and said In his fceart: "Thank God thnt I am nn American!" And, citizens, that Is the one outstanding, splendid fact for which each one of us should otierly mid most gratefully thank God ou Thanks giving day this year. The finest thing you possess or ever can pos nw Is just your American citizenship. It Is either necessary nor becoming, or. this day or a any other day, to cheapen this birthright of ura by brag or sprendengle declamation. , But It Is highly becoming on this Thanksgiving Uy to feel n deep gratitude and a manly pride la this heritage. WHERE THEY CALL HIM "CHARLIE." ' Chnrlcs M. Schwab, the Bethlehem steel king, Is yirobuhly the most beloved "boss" In America. Ills awn any there would lie no strikes If others were Jlke fc'tn. The American Magazine prints an ar ticle about hlni In which this occurs: They call hhn 'Charlie' at Homestead; he la Vtarlle' when he goes buck there now to visit the ntofK' Those who were there In the old days fit artlll knows by name, nnd Just how lone they Jbave been ou the Job. When he went down to Homestead to say pood-by, nfter resigning us presl 0aat of tha Curnegle Steel company, five thousund And sii we firmly believe yuu do feel. We nil hear it repeated that patriotism Is a thing of the past; that our people have become commercialized; that the masses have no deep rooted loyalty to the country; that our rich men' put dollars above the obligations of their citizen ship; that our poor folk care little for the Ideals of fr.-o government; that we Americans are de cadent In the virtues and valor which marked our fathers. That Is not true. If there be any power In the world which plots war against us Americans nnd promises Itself vic tory over us on the assumption of our deendence In loyalty, that power will find how terrible was Its mistake when our country calls her sons to bat'le In her defense. We have, It Is true, In our capacity as n col lective people, left undone things that should have been done nnd done things whl.-h should have been left undone; and there Is more truth than there should be In much that Is Jeerlngly said by those who hate us. We acknowledge that much of our polities of fends common decency. We see, here and there, painful evidence of cor ruption among lawmakers and even nmong the judges, who should know only justice nnd In tegrity. We see rich men who do betray their country nnd foul their hands nnd soil their souls with most Infamous dealings and most shameful profits. We see Americans who do put the dollar above every consideration, of right nnd duty, nbove the claims of our common humanity. But while these things nre true. It Is true also that the heart nnd conscience of the American people, take them as a nation, nre sound and sane nnd wholesome. The blood of our fathers still runs In the veins of their sons. The spirit of the nation may In- deed seem to slumber In the soft bed of loiig enjoyed pence and security. But let war come against the land and no man need doubt thnt that spirit will spring up Instantly awake. We can rightfully be grateful thnt It has fallen to our happy lot to live In this most wonderful of all ages nnd to be citizens of this most won derful of all the nations. Let your hearts swell with Just pride ns you contemplate your country, so august, so splendid, so renowned In the earth. Look upon your flag ns It streams Its bright folds yonder above your hends with proud and happy eyes. Hemember how honorable Is Its story, nnd forget not how many thousands of brne nnd good men died that It might wave yon der, the ensign of a free people. Tell to your children the story of their fore hears, of those men and women who, nmld tho wilderness nnd forests that stood where now j stand mighty cities nnd stretch cultivated farms, ! erected, with hardships and endurance nnd most , heroic faith nnd valor, the noble edifice of our republican liberties. Speak to them of Bunker Hill and Valley Forge and Saratoga nnd Vorktown, and of tho grent Declaration that most famous Charter of Hu man Freedom. Tell them to thank God for their fathers' nnd mothers' hardihood nnd courage, for the wars they fought, for the victories they won. Tell them to salute their Aug with high nnd proud hearts. Tell them to thank God this Thnnksglvln? day that they are Americans. And then do you soberly, grntefully, proudly thank God yourself that you nre nn American.

S. TROOPS MAY USE CACTUS FOR WATER Vmvmyvsvymvww.iwwwKM. .-..l-l...n-,-l-.-..,-rrrrrr)-).u IJVIJW ' I In the pursuit of Villa ami bis bandits through the arid regions of northern Mexlcgi the United States troops traversed a region whose only vege tation Is the barbed nnd forbidding cactus. To any but n cowboy or n trained plainsman of the .Southwest, Inhabitants themselves of the "cactus belt," this plant seemingly has no more value than the veriest weed, but It may well be that It may prove of grent value to the troops In the absence of water, fodder, or even food for human beings. In the punitive expedition there nre many cow punchers of the "cactus belt" serving ns scouts, and In the cowboy nnd the Indian of the South west the lowly cactus has Its greatest admirer, for they know what a game struggle for I lie this plant has to make against an unlnved desert soli. Uvea their ponies and cattle nnd the poor beasts of the desert know of these uses of the cactus for water and fodder, says the New York Herald. There are some thousand varieties of this mon strous vegetable family, not counting the 3K) va rieties of the ngnve, or century plant Incorrectly Included by many In northern Mexico. The va rieties of the yucca palm and all other forms of vegetation known to the arid .eglon have the same faculty of sucking up from the soil every drop of the all too little moisture In It nnd storing It up la their tough nnd leathery leaves and roots. Of the tunny varieties perhaps the most remark able Is that member of the family known to those schooled In desert craft as the "water barrel." This plant Is shaped somewhat like a beer keg and Is about the same size. Through all the years of Its growth It has been sopping up what moisture the famished earth contained and retaining It. It is the solo reliance of desert dwellers In time of drought, and the troops, far from water holes and with wa ter scarce, may yet be obliged to drink from It The "water barrel" Is tapped by slicing off the top with u sword or machete und pounding the pulp until the water contained In It wells up Into men turned out In n body to wish Mm good luck. "'God bless you. Charlie 1' 'Here's good luck to you, Charlie!' they shouted. "'Do I know him well?" said one grizzled em ployee nt Homestead. 'Is it Charlie Schwab you mean? Shure, don't I mind the first day be came here? An' didn't I work wld him for yeurs? Wld him. mind you. Not for him. Shure, I helped cut the first piece of steel that ever went out of this mill.

Not all the water bearing cacti nre ns gracious to famishing man. however, ns the "water barrel." for most of them have protected themselves against the maraudings of those who would drink nnd live by Imparting n bitter taste to the water they con tain. The "peyote" especially, which abounds In the plains and deserts of Arizona, has a trick of discouraging depredations upon It. for Its plump and Juicy pulp secretes a bitter and poisonous Juice. In the Inst dozen yenrs scientists have Interested themselves In the study of tho enctus for Its possi bilities us rood, fodder und economic by-products. Dr. Leon K. Landone, foremost In the study of this desert plant, several yenrs ago conducted extensive experiments In Los Angeles to ascertain the value of tho thornless enctus ns an article of food for human beings. In an effort to prove his conten tion thnt It contains food properties sulllclent to enable n man to work 13 hours a day, he und nls two secretaries for two weeks lived on a dally diet of the leaves nnd fruit of the enctus, the former being served green or fried and the latter either raw or cooked. While the "cactus squad" sur vived the experience and professer to have en Joyed their novel diet, it Is n fact that the -cactus never has intaiued the popularity of a lllet mlgnon. In the whole vegetable kingdom probably there Is not another plant family having so many dif ferentiations of form as the cacti.

TEXT Pure religion and undenied be fore Ood tha Father la this, To visit tha fatherless and widows In their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world. Jaroe 1:Z7. We heur much of social service to day and men quote our text as a sanc tion for It. We believe this Scrip ture does sanc tion such service. But some go so far as to declare thut such service is the very heart of religion, that a man's belief counts for until ing, but only his deeds, and again quote our text us proof. On this point we do not believe the Scrip ture a u a t a I n a them. Everything hinges on what James mentis by "re ligion." The word he usea Is reully equivalent to worship. As Coleridge says: "The outwurd service of an cient religion, the rites, ceremonies, and ceremonial vestments of the law, hud morality for their substance. They were the letter of which morality was the spirit; the enigma of which inor ulity was the meaning. But morality Itself Is the service nnd ceremoulul of the Christian religion." James Is not to be understood as putting the out ward aspect of the divine life ugalnst Its Inward aspect To make hlni say thnt benevolence nnd personal purity are religion, In the present-day sense of the word, would be like saying that a mother's love Is washing und feed ing her child 1 These deeds are only the fruit of her love, Just ns the "re ligion" of the text Is the fruit of re ligion In the soul. And while James states thut true worship consists In benevolence and purity, he would not discourage the worship of the sanc tuary; only, he would Insist thut what we do outside the sanctuary Is tin actual test of us. Tho men who especially nppenl ta this age nre such as Chinese Gor don, the "soldier sulnt," who put dowo the Tnl-plng rebellion, saving thou sands of lives; who opposed slavery In the Sudan, gave to the fatherless and widows all he had, and died a niurtyr of Khartum; yet he was a member of no church, but communed as opportunity served In Greek und Bomaii Catholic churches; moreover, did not accept the orthodox view as to future punishment. Or, such men as the seventh curl of Shaftesbury, who cared for the Interests of factory hands, chimney sweeps, costerniongers nnd the Imbecile; Doctor Barnardo, the builder of homes for the waifs of Lon don; or Doctor Grenfell, working among tho deep-sen fishermen of Lab rador, spending himself to relieve their sufferings, opening hospitals, co operative stores . mill other agencies for good. Relation to Others. These men really "visited" the fa therless and tho widows In their af fliction, caring for them personally. Gordon taught the ragged schools nnd wns not content till he hud pluced the boys where they might hope for success In life; many were seut to sea and he hud a chart on his wall stuck with pins, showing where the vessels containing his "kings" were. He would sit down nt the bedside of old women In the almshouse and rend to them. The earl of Shaftesbury would take a lantern of nights nnd seek out the lowly on London bridge to help then Relation to Self. Our text also requires thnt one be "unspotted from the world." Denn Al ford defines the world ns "the whole earthly creation, separated from God nnd lying in sin, which, whether as consisting In the men who serve It, or the enticements which It holds out to evil lusts, Is to Christians a source of contlnuul defilement." It Is human society in Its ungodly bins. To refer to Gordon nlone, he refused honors from the Chinese government because It had broken faith with rebels In the Tnl-plng rebellion, murdering some who had been promised Immunity. An African boy snld Oordon could see In the dark because he hud the light In him. Relation to God. Moreover, all this service must be done 08 "before our God nnd Father." It must please hlni, nnd It Is not strict ly true to say the service of humanity Is tho service of God, for It Is not al ways so. "This Is the work of God. thnt ye believe on him whom he hath sent." The first requirement for serv ice Is life; "ye must bo born again." Even the deacons who served tables In the New Testament must be men "full of the Holy Ghost." We nre not disturbed by Gordon's views on church fellowship nnd fu ture punishment, for he wns not Infal lible.. We nre more Interested to learn that, as n result of his early training, the divine life came Into his soul while he wis In China. The earl of Shaftesbury was a deeply devoted evangelical Christian. - Doctor Bnr nardo was a fruit of tho revival In Ireland In IS.'D-lSOl, and cared for the souls of the waifs of London na well as for their bodies. Doctor Gren fell traces all the good In his life to D. L. Moody nnd especially to a serv ice he attended where he found a faith and reality which he coveted and nt last obtained. He says, "I am a brick In the superstructure which has grown up through Mr. Moody on the founda tion of Jesus Christ, und I nin out In Labrador working." While giving prnlse even to humanlinrlnn work con ducted without reference to the Gos pel, he says, "I can only say still, I huve found fnlth In Jesus Christ ns Son of God makes men do that which nothing else did. nnd bear nnd suffer with equanimity that which nothing else would.', teLWONAL SiJMSaiOOL Lesson (By B.

I'nul had uothlng to do with the writing of the Kevelntlon, yet this lesson lllus trntes the pre-eminence which Jesus Christ had in the mind and lubors of the great uMist!e (Col. 1:18). I. Introduction, (vv. 1-3.) We would suggest that nil Bible students nnd teachers. If possible, read the Introduc tion to tho Book of Itevelutlon in Sco fleld'a lteference Bible. Tho hook proper Is "The Itevelutlon of Jesus Christ." John, the beloved disciple, who wrote the Gospel und Kplstles, was tho one who saw the visions re corded therein. Many of the things tire historical, others ure prophetically set forth. The latter aro "shortly lo come to pass." (See ulso II Peter 3:8.) John tells not only what God said but what he himself saw. The lute Doctor Brooks of SL Louis omitted this book from his study for many years until he saw the comments recorded In verse 3. The time of the writing of this book has variously been stuted ns from A. D. CO to A. D. 1MI; the writer was certainly John the Beloved. The place of writing was the Island of I'ntinos In the Aegean sen. not fur from lCphe sus. The real author, however, Is Jesus Christ, the Son of God. II. Salutation (vv. 4-8). "The serv ant of .lesus who records his message wns John, and the message wns to be to "the seven churches which are In Aslu;" that Is, the western portion of Asia Minor, of which Ephcsus on the Aegean sea was the principal city. These churches are definitely named In verse 11, There Is good renson" to think that these churches represented the seven successive epochs of church history. If so, no nge Is exclusively ICpheshin, or rhlhidelphian, or Lnodl- ceun. The grace, favor, loving kind ness. Is n free gift from Christ, who Is Jicre giving a threefold title, name ly; First begotten from the dead, wit ness und prinoe. He It Is, which Is love, and which Is to come. (Eternal I om.-Fx. 3:4.) His work Is nlso set forth In verse 5, and the results In our lives In verse 0. We have here tho real humanity and the certain deity of our Lord and Saviour. III. Vision (vv. 0-18). What John saw on the Isle of I'ntmns he was to write upon a parchment roll and send It to tho seven churches, each of which needed n message. Under the figure of seven candlesticks nre enu merated seven churches. Into the midst of these churches, actually present In them, Is one like unto the Son of Man. (See also Matthew 18:1!0.) Like a hu man being, Jesus was, but now clothed with the garment of his eternal glory, girded ubout with the glrAle worn by priests nnd kings, n symbol of his power and strength (Isaiah 11. :5; Kph. (1:14). Ills head and his hands, his feet nnd his pyea are nil referred to, each linvlug Its symbolical significance. In his right hand arc the seven stars (v. 1(1), the angels of the churches, pastors or lenders, possibly guardian tuigels (v. 20). They ure held lu his right hand, signifying thut they nre protected, upheld and controlled by his wisdom und power. (Sec Jeremiah 22: !.n. Frmii Ids mouth lroffi n Khnm. two-edged sword; the spirit of the Word of God sharper than any two- edged sword (Hebrews 4 :!''). Anil his countenance wns ns the sun shining In Its strength, the glory, such as was manifested In the transfiguration, such us I'a til saw near Damascus, Is here re ferred to. It Is the symbol of the glorl our nature of our Savior King, eclips ing all other beings, ns the sun eclipses the stars. He who Is victory over the darkness of Ignorance and sin and who Is the prince of all pow ers. Is It to be wondered nt thnt John fell nt his feet ns one dead after hav ing seen such an overwhelming vision? The greater the discoveries we huve of the glory of Christ, the more we shall be humbled In the dust before him. Jesus laid his right hand upon John, a gentle, brotherly touch, which aroused him to consciousness nnd en couraged him by the words, "Fenr not; I am the first uud the lust." Tho same divine Jesus, whom he hud known on earth nnd whom he hnd seen crucllled and risen from the dead, ever Ilveth. (v. 18) And he also has the keys of power and the control of death; hns the power to preserve from death und to raise to Immortal life, even ns when he raised the body of Lazarus. IV. The Command. John hnd en joyed a tender Intimacy with the Lord during his earthly life nnd yet he was stricken down with the overpowering majesty and glory which had been re vealed. Now he realized, as perhaps never before, the elgiiillcance of the ever-living Christ, nnd he Is hereby specifically commanded to record this vision as he had seen It nnd the mes sages which tho Lord had for the churches. The word mystery (v. 20) has reference to something which has hitherto been hidden to men nnd which Is now about to be revealed. The revelation was to these churches, and It Is to us nlso. Jesus Is not a mere vision but he Is a living reality, unveiled fur the time from the unseen. Jesus Is a living fact which we nre to communicate to men. The seven stars (v. 20) aro messages la his own right hand. The churches nre the lamp stands. Christ himself Is the light, the sue (v-10). , "PERSONAL LIBERTY" EXHIBIT. An a nti alcohol exhibit In a certain town fuced several auloons located Just across the street, the proprietors of which were reported to bitterly re sent the prohibition facts presented. Threats were said to bave been made toy them, so that the spcclul night watchman employed gave much of tha time to careful guarding of this ex hibit Tho town uppeurs to be some thing of a ' rendezvous , for per. sonul liberty agltutors. These people were the first to "size up" the exhibits, and continually some of them were cir culating among the people rcudy for a discussion. One day n foreign-born citizen stood nt tho V. C. T. U. booth and fell Into conversation. He professed to belleva In temperance ull right, but he hud a right to do us he pleased In his own home, etc. 1'rescg.tly he wus Joined by another man who tulked loudly after the sumo fashion. Soon quite a little company had gathered to listen and occasionally take part In the "free for all." Suddenly right Into their midst lurched a man who Immediately bo gun to take part In the discussion. Ue was drunk and suld so, but Informed them that liquor wus the worst cursa In tho world; that though he wua a drinking man he meant to vote dry ev ery time. Ho wus allowed to talk un til everyone present realized the situ ation, then the director of the exhibit turned to tho two defenders of per sonal liberty nnd remarked, "Gentle men, here Is a sample of the prod uct of what you are advocating and defending. How do you like the ex hlblt?" There wns no reply and soon they had disappeared, seeming to Junt melt awny in sllunce. BAD JOKE. "Alcohol ns a food Is a Joke, and rather n bad joke at thut," alllrms Dr. Woods Hutchinson. "Alcohol does not do for us a single one of the things we think It does, and It docs a score of other things which we have no idea of when we drink It "Thirty yenrs ago we were blandly confident that alcohol was a food be cause It could be burned In the body. Now, we know that the total amount of alcohol which can be burned In tho body In 24 hours Is only two ounces, which would be about the same amount of energy us one good slice of bread nnd butter; that Is to any, about one-tenth of tl" fuel required to keep us alive. "If we were to attempt to use al cohol as a serious source of nourish ment we should be blind drunk be fore we hnd taken mora than one fifth of the amount needed for a day's rations. "Moreover, even In tho small amount which can bo duily consumed and burned up In tho body, its poisonous effects nre ut least 50 per cent greuter than its food value. ' It throws the body engine out of gear almost twice as much us it puts fuel Into Its fire-box. The amount of malt taken with It In beer aud fruit sugars In wlno ore so trilling as to be not worth counting lu our duy's food supply." WORK FOR EVERYBODY. "I saw not a single man who was looking for a Job us tho result of the closing otitic saloons, breweries and distilleries," said a former resident of Seattle, nfter a visit to thnt city. "On tho coutrury, I heard on every hand that there wns more work than labor ers to do It I wns told by someon from tho Industrial Brotherhood, a refuge for 'down and outs,' that there was actually nobody without employ ment who was able to work. You know that for two wluters preceding the go ing Into effect of tho prohibitory law, we had In Scnttlo what they called Hotel Liberty,' nt which, during tho last winter there were housed about 2,000 men out of employment. Tliut has now ceased to exist; In fact I am told by tlioso who know, that last winter there wns no bread Hue In tha city at any point" EVEN PENNSYLVANIA. Thnt supposedly Impregnable strong hold of liquordom, the state of Pennsyl vania, Is, like every other stnto of the Union, giving way before advancing prohibition sentiment Five years ago It hud two dry counties; today It has eleven. In 1011 there was one saloon for every CS1 persons; today there Is one for every 737. In 1911 there were about 700 square miles of dry terri tory ; today there nre 12,300. In 1011, C0.000 people of the state lived In no license territory; toduy there aro 1,500,000, nearly one-fifth of the total population. It is stated that of tha 1,700 saloons In Philadelphia, 200 nre on the market . One broker advertises thnt he hus 100 for sale. WHAT SALOON SAYS. Today tho saloon says to tho gov ernment, "Don't bother me. The wage workers of this country have $2,000, 000 In their pockctbooks that I want to pick. You let mo get at It nnd I'll divide the swag with you." Billy Sunday. UNANSWERABLE ARGUMENT. "I huve a boy (or girl) at homo" ought to bo Hie unanswerable argu ment against the legalized liquor traf' Dc for every mun who Is privileged to be a father. IMPROVE CONDITIONS. Labor unions of California sent rep resentatives to Senttle and Portland to lrfvestlgnto conditions under prohl-. bltlon. They returned enthusiastic for a law that Is doing so much to Improve the condition of tho working-man. CALL THEM 6KUNKS. "Why "blind pigs'?
