millions of ei ili.at'un in regard to the

What have we lo he thankful for? l or

impulses mid Us aims, ai.1 higher and
nobler in ils intellectual nuowments.
What have we In he thankful for? I!y
the grace of Ho., for our great and pro
found deliverance as a nation, from the
tremendous vorlex of passion, falsehood
and slander, which has opened like a
gulf on Ih" sieface of American politl s,
and around which, upon ils very brink of
.1st in, t ion the ship of national weal has
-ivi-ati-d In spite of rudder, keel or sail.
Thank Hod that though (be national sov
ereignity has hung In the balance of con
tending parties as a price to be won and
fought for and the deepest feelings of
AnuTli-nu partisanship has been stirred lo
its i 1 1 in. ,s i center until it becmnc the an
xious Ihoughl of genuine statesmanship;

SAKKLY ItHiHKN (IK STORM.
The beautiful vessel of a. nation's hopes
and p layers built and founded by I he
wisdom of a Vu--hington, san.-tltc-d hy
th" blood of Lincoln, and made glorio.is
by the valor nn, I heroism of a (iraiit-lias
liddcii the storm lu safety; the promise
and lamest of a more glorious future,
when purer politics, n more eduealcl
thought, a nohl.-r Ihnn a mere partisan
ship, shall chant in unison, the poet's
pia.a r wit hum fear of reverse or failure:
"Sail on. sail on. thou ship of state,
.Sail on, u l.'nloii strong; and great.
In snlte nf ro. k and tempests' roar,
In spile of false lights on the shore;
Sail on. nor fear lo breast the sea!
' Hit- hearts, our hopes are all with thee!"
And. now, I ask the lust question of
all. what have we to la- thaiiklul for.'
And, I answer as one among the mil
lions of Hod's people, not only in this land
but Hod's land of the world, for the spirit
of iiiiloii, a tree heartfelt union without
t lie s.i.-i iiiee of one personal religious opin
ion; that is drawing the whole Christian
church of the world closer and closer Ir.
gelher 111 the divine essentials of love,
charily and work for that blessed Master,
who stretched out His hand over all His
truly reilei-nied ones, and calls them by
Ihe name of children, whether they be
l-lack or white, houd or free, civilized or
h, :il hen. Thank (iod for the time almost
come, now almost lu-ar. when the leaders
of Christianity, Its "great hearts." Its dis
passionate thinkers, Ils true worker,
shall rejoice less In their tribal iiiiii(
and more in that (lllcicney of union, that
shall make them almost Irresistible in
,-iuslilng the forces of sin and corruplljii
Into the dust ut a linn I annihilation.
Itret hren, 1 have dwelt upon our tlrst
text "the fenst of the harvest, so far,
let me close by Just one thought of the
second. It came us a voire from heaven
lu that sublime vision of John, when,
upon the Isle of Patnios. he saw Ihe con.
summation of Hie Christ re.lciiniiion. in
making thanksgiving eternal! Yes, it 1.4
a startling thought, a thrilling thought,
that w hile the Christ inn's faith mav die
in ihe living sight of heaven, and "hope
perish 111 Its friitlion and charity cease
b-cause of the end of want. The service
of this hour, the thanksgiving service of
the soul, shall be repeated In spirit by the
very throne of Hod, and shall mark our
servle- to thai Hod forever and forever!
I ouote. In closing ns Its proof, the glo
rious language of John himself, listen to
Ils majestic and inii.ressive tones.
"Afiir tills. I hi held. and. lo, a trroat
multitude, which no man could number,
of all nations, and kindreds, and people,
and tongues, stood before the throne, rind
before Ihe Lamb, clothed with white robes
and palms In their hands.
"And cried with a loud voice, saying-.
Ralviilloii to our Hod. which sitletli upon

"And all the angels stood roun 1 about the

copul church, chose for ii Tlianksgivlns
subject yesterday "Nations of Men.''
His text wns Arts xvii. 111. "And hath
made uf one blood nil tuitions nt' men
for to dwell on all tin? fare of the
earth, ami hath determined the times
liefoi" un primed, and the bounds of
tin i;- liai, nation." The speaker pre
seiitid the following Scriptural truths:
I. All men belong to the one race, "Hod
hath made of one blood all n.Hloiis uf
linn."
'1. The nations, being of one blood, should
live in peace together, for to dwell on
all tho lace of the earth, III order that
tiny might dwell together in peace.
II. Hod rules ucr the natlona. He "hath
delormineil the times before appointed
and the bounds of their habitations." The
beginning of every hall, m, Ils progress
upward to power, the extent of the ti-rn-toiy
(hat it shall occupy or govern; tho
time and the means of lis decline and fall
Hod s.-ttled all these matters of history;
they woi k out Ills plan.
I. Hod's dialings Willi every race variety
of men are designed to lead them lo the
knowledge of 1 1 in "Hint llu v should s-,-k
Hie l.oi.l if happily they might feel after
lllm and Hud ilini." Hod's government

and in conclusion said;
Let ns thank Hod that we have lived to

today it is Hi,, gem among national em

liens abolished ami in their stead planted
the school house; we have lived to se
the auction block swent away and Chris
tian pulpits planted In their places; we
have lived to see the day when the bar
barous and Inhuman voice of overseer and
auctioneer have hushed into eternal si
lence; and from the ice-bound coast of

SCRANTON AND CULM.
Reasons Why This City Would Be a
Gas-Producing Center It Has
Many Advantages.
At this time when tho question nf
producliiR mis from anthracite culm Is
bcltiK so generally discussed, persons
unfamiliar with mining- methods are at
a loss to know why Scran ton Is pre
dicted to the center of tin- culm-gas
region. They picture the abundance of
culm in the central and southern por
tions of the Held and quite naturally
ruppnau that the kus can bu made an
easily and us cheaply there as in and
about Scrnnton. The contrary is the
truth, however, the explanation was
plainly net forth In a Tribune reporter's
Interview yesterday with a gentleman
(liialiili-d to discuss the subject. He
said:
"In this upper portion of the field
the rock Is separated from the coal
before the latter Is hoisted to the sur
face and the rock is piled from 'lloor'
to 'roof' along the chamlx-r walls.
This explains why no rock In law
iiiatititl. s Is seen nbotlt the breakers.
Hut In the central and southern parts
of the coal llelds the "pitch" of the
veins of coal is very steep. The In
cline Is n ureal that In hut few mines
Is it possible to pile the rock or 'Kob'
nloiifT the walls of the chambers as In
this rog-ion. The 'Bob,' therefore, has
for year. been mixed with the culm
In the huge piles of black refuse on the
surfi.ee.
"Kveti In this region where culm Is
very clean and free from rock and dirt,
it is necessary to wash It before it
can be used in the Rtis-maklng- experi
ments. The rock and dirt mixed with
He.' culm in the southern fields would
make the preparation of the culm a
troublesome and costly und, -flaking.
"Hut, with the southern Held out of
tlie race. It might be asked, "Why has
Sirantoti any creator rig-lit limn
Wilkes-1 hirre. Carbond-ilo or other
inlniiiK cities, to aspire to he the culm
and culm-mis prndiir-ing center of tho
northern rt-cions'." The answer is, lor
the same reason that Scrnnton is tmw
tin- anthracite center. It has the culm
und it has the railroad. bunkinJt and
otln-r facilities whirh no other city In
the anthracite Ik-Id possesses or will
possess."
