Once each year the people of Amer
ica turn to Almighty God and offer
thanks for His goodness. It Is a mag
nlflcent observance. There Is none
more beautiful anywheje In the world.
No man possesses anything besides
what he has received from God. No
person onn retain anything unless It be
God's will that ho shall. To God the
world Is Indebted for the comforts ot
home, the food It cats nnd the very
air It breathes. Without Clod there
could be no happiness, there could tie
no life, there could be no America,
there could be no world. Surely the
Unseen King deserves nil tho thanks
tho people of our country can give
Him. Ho deserves far more than He
has over received, far more than over
will be given to Him.
President Wilson, In n. beautiful proc
lamation, hns named next Thursday as
the annual day for Thanksgiving for
19U. In his message the President
mentions the thanks that should be
olterod by Americans for tho poaco
that Is oxlstlng between the!.' country
and other nations, at this time when
almost the wholo of Europe Is engaged
In war. Further ho says;
"Our peoplo havo looked Upon their
own llfo ns n nation with deep com
prehension, a deeper realization of
their responsibilities as Well ns their
blessing, nnd n keener Benso of the
moral nnd practical significance of
what their part among the nations of
tho world mny coma to."
Phlladclphlana can express their
thonks In no more practical way than
by helping to send tho Thanksgiving
ship to tho cold and starving women
and children In wnr-torn Ilelglum.
"Ilo yo therefore merciful, as your
.Father also la merciful."
I3ut let us not show our thanks only
on this one day or only during this
Thanksgiving season. God will place
more folth In tho sincerity of our
prayers and prolse If wo prove our ap
preciation by scattering sunshine
about us every day through Uvea of
practical service. . PHILLIPS.

WHERE BODIES AND SOULS. ARE FED
A scene at the Sunday Breakfast Association, 12th street below Vine. Such a crowd ot cold and hun
gry men can be seen there twice each Sunday.

EAT AND GET WARM
Thousands Return to Homes,

Philadelphia's
r o m
Breakfast Association.
In tho gray and misty dawn of any
Sunday morning or late on any Sunday
afternoon there may be seen on North
12th street, near Vine, ono of the saddest
scenes that can bo found In this great
city. At these times hundreds ot home
less, hungry men, and sometimes n few
women, assemble In line outsldo the Sun
day Breakfast Association headquarters,
and there watt, with hanging heads, until
tho doors of tho retreat are oponed. Then
they file Inside, whero the odor of boiling
coffee meets them and their red and un
happy eyes begin to sparkle slightly as
tbey see stacks of rolls and sandwiches
waiting to glvo thtm a little strength.
For moro than SQ years this Institution
has been n haven for the unfortunates,
who, through drink or wild lives, have
lost their manhood and womanhood, their
money and, In many cases, their self
respect and friends. After they aro In
side eaqh. of them 3 given thrco steam
ing cups of coffco and four sandwiches,
nnd tho rapidity with which they devour
their portions In most cases would ludi

They are also given tho "bread of life"
for their souls' welfare After they are
all Inside, usually almost EOO of them,
the doors are dosed and none of them
Is permitted -to return to the streets
until artor-TcllRloim services are ended.
Torsonal appeals arc mado to them, nnd
by this and tho testimonial talks given
by men now prosperous In tho business
nnd professional world, who wore once In
the pews of the old church building them
selves, many of them are encouraged to
start out right again.
"No person can guess the results of the
work, which Is entirely undenomina
tional." declared W. Rruce Rarrow, trcas.
urer of the organization, a. few days ngo,
"Time and agnln wo aro surprised to have
well-dressed Christian mon, some of them
with good buolncsses In this city nnd In
all parts of the world, come back to the
old church and get up nnd tell the boys
that where they are the visitors were
once also, nnd letters aro received often
giving exactly the same kind of stories
of the men who were once afraid aud
ashamed, but who decided to start out
again at tho Sunday Breakfast Associa
tion." fiometlmcfl mothers find their sons.
whom they mourned as dead, standing In
the lino. Sometimes sisters and wlve
gase Into tho faces of the shivering nnd
ragged audience and their eyes meet those
of their brothers and husbands, and they
are reunited. Every Sunday there la soma
such tragedy witnessed, and great Is thr
Joy of those who are dolntrthe work when
they see Just one more, mother mado hap
py na her "boy" walksJfcvrd home by
her side, or when aHrather smiles

to provide for his home onco more.
The Sunday Breakfast Association lathe
oldest organization of its kind, and its
work In the most extensive In the coun
try. It was started at ltth and Wood
streets, but since 1835 It has been In the
old church on 12th street, which was once
the place of worship of the Eleventh Bap
tist Church.
It dopends entirely on private contribu
tions for support, and up to the present
time It has always had sufficient funds
for Its work. Tho most prominent men In
Philadelphia are helping the work, and
some of those who were encouraged to
start out on the "new path'1 to the "right
way" when they went there for a sand
wich and cup of coffee to keep from starv
ing send In gifts of thanks also.

PLANS TO LESSEN
SUSPENDED LIST
OF PRESBYTERIANS
Doctor Fulton Sends Out
Suggestions It Is Hoped
May Reduce Number
of 50,000 Four-fifths.
Tho Presbyterian Church officials In this
city and throughout tho country are
uniting In a campaign to have suspended
members of the church reunite with
churches of their denomination, and have
begun a big campaign to prevent the
lapsing of memberships In tho future. It
Is tho hope that, the number of persona
suspended each year may be reduced
from more than 0,000 to about one-tenth
that number.
The Rev. Dr. William P. Fulton, one of
the members of tho General Assembly's
Permanent Committee on Evangelism,
which. With tho Special Committee on
Christian Life and Worn, is In charge of
tho campaign, says that he believes the
number suspended each year may bo cut
down to between 10,000 and 15,000 If the
proper methods arc applied and Just ef
fort Is put forth bs" pastors and church
people.
Doctor Fulton has prepnrcd a pamphlet
which Is being sent to the pastors pf Pres
byterian churches throughout tho coun
try, lii which suggestions aro mado as fol
lows' to assuro the success of tho cam
paign: '
Presbyteries should Ihnulre of sessions their
rensons for placing members on the suspended
roll unfl whi'ther, In ovcry Instance, tho re
quirements of tha Hook of Discipline, relating

tho church. (1) by ncrsonnl visitation, (2) by
letter writing. (31 by special and united prayer.
I'Bstons nnd elders should give prayerful con
a deration to the matter of syatematlo over-
eht and visitation of the entlr member,
ship of their respective conKrogntlons mo as to
yrovent the "lapalng" of members, nnd thus
