BY REV. SURDIVAL
Thanksgiving Day Adddess to the Citi
zens of Jermyn,
FROM THE QOOO WORDS OP SAMUEL
Gratitude Due to GodPropcnsltics
of Man to liecome Ucegardly in the
Matter of l'rnyrr.-The Blessings
Which We Enjoy at IIU Hands.
We Must Follow Samuel's Advice.
The following- sermon was delivered
by Kev. William Surdival, of the Jer
myn Congregational church, on
Thanksgiving Day. In response to
numerous requests the discourse la re-
UiSV. WILLIAM SURDIVAL.
prlnteil for the benefit of citizens who
were unulile to be present at the time
cf Its delivery:
"Hut I will teach you the good and the
right way: Only fear the Lor.l, ami servo
liini in truth with all your heart: for con
sider how great things lie hath done for
you." I Sam., U:-3
'i'iie different denominations of our be
loved country today are responding to
the pioekunutiou net forth by the presi
dent; Inn nioro so, responding lo that
indwelling motive that springs up in the
heart and soul of every true child of God.
There are millions at his very hour bow
ing their heads in reverence and holy fear
beiore the altar of the Most High Uod;
unci with that Joy peace, gladness and
trun-iuillty. Unit 1111s the souls of Clod's
children, then render their Thanksgiving
und trail tude in ont;s of praises, which
useends in one vast cloud through ihe
heavens on the wings of faith to the throne
of tlod. And may our prayer this morning
be that our union service .of Thanksgiving
as a community, through the Intercession
of the Spirit, may be acceptable with Uod.
oh, may lie grant unto us, and unto all
the people who serve Him this (lav, His
Hpirit, power and guidiinee, so that w
may w orship HI in In Spirit and in truth.
The words which we have chosen as the
basis of our discourse form a part of that
memorable address which Samuel deliv
ered to the children of Israel when retir
ing from his olliee as judge over them.
We shall not recall the incidents that
caused tho good old prophet to speak
these words, but examine more particu
larly the last clause, and see what lesson
there is in these words for us.
Samuel was a true child of Clod, and had
been raised In the temple from his boy
hood. He was an experienced man in
tiod's service, he had given himself whol
1 unto the hold, and as Paul exhorted
the church in Home, he had presented his
body a living sucrllice, holy, acceptable
unto clod, which fact rendered and on
aided him to be one of the greatest proph
ids and teacher the world ever knew.
Samuel was the only man who could suy
with divine power and authority to tho
children of Isiael, at this most Important
crisis in which the nation was involved,
"I will teach you the good and tho right
way," and with a divine emphasis that
wrung through the camp of Israel, he ut
tered the words und touched the key which
In every Clod-fearing heart opens the foun
tain from which Hows that musical strain
of thanksgiving unto the Most High and
Merciful Father. "Consider how great
things the Lord hath done for you."
GKATITUDE UIK GOD.
We cannot render unto clod the praise
and gratitude duo unto Him, unless we
consider bow great things He hath done
for us. If we have come together regard
less of Clod's mercies which He has be
stowed on us, our service will be In vain.
If our hearts are tilled with worldly
thought?; if our minds ure occupied with
Worldly pleusures and duties, anil en
gaged In the narrow motives of selllsh
tiess, pride, and worldly gain ami honor,
our service will not accomplish the end in
view, neither be pleasing in God's sight.
That sacred key In the depth of your soul
must be touched, must be Inspired, the
source of gratitude must be opened; the
hart) of the soul must be propeiiv tuned,
and the sacred musical strains of praise
ascend to the thone of God.
To be grateful unto God Is man's hlgh
fst ami most elevated privilege. Gratitude
ts all that God requires of us. We cannot
render anything that would be acceptable
til His sight, but our praises. God accepts
with pleasure the gratitude and praise
that comes from a broken nnd contrite
heart, to offer anything but gratitude
and praise would be mockery. "Kor we
are nil as an unclean thing, and all our
righteousness are as tilt hy rags, and our
Iniquities like the wind, have tuken us
away." May we all be helped to render
our thanksgiving In such a way that will
lie pleasing- In His sight; and have our
old begarly way for this morning's ser.
vice.
PROPENSITIES OP MAN.
Men are too prone to be beggarly. The
more some people pray the more beggarly
they become, and when God blesses them
abundantly. In answer to their supplica
tions the first prayer they offer Is a beg
gar's prayer. It seems that they are al
ways starving for spiritual nourishment,
and that they never have stock enough of
faith nor grace, to spend one hour In grat
itude and praise. Let us with David spend
more time In singing God's praises, for the
blessings He dally bestows upon us, and
this will surely help to enjoy the bless
ings we receive the more and to better
advantaces. Let us consider In the first
place how great things the Lord hath done
for us as a nation. He has honored us
with wisdom, discretion nnd power to keep
the country from dishonor and ruin.

There Is preserved a form of government
when the rights of every cltlien are se
cured as fur as they can by any human
institution, a form of government that
the world honors and looks up to in time
of distress, as a child looks to Its mother,
acknowledging that America Is the moth
er of the "new world" and that It Is the
iiimer that wilt swav the (center of Justice
and liberty, and place all men on the same
piuiiorm as oromers. v-onsiuer , u
great, etc."
GOD HEARS PRAYER.
Last spring when the dark clouds of
war hovered over our country, anu mrcm
em.,1 illsiiHtnr. ilcst itntion und death on
every hand; when the two greatest nutlc.ns
on earth seemed to array themselves with
cannon and sword for battle, thrlsting
for innocent blood; when the groanlngs
of mothers for their sons, and children for
their parents. In the lone hours of the
night ascended to heaven in behalf of their
dear ones on this and on the otho" slda
cf the ocean to save them from the
deadly calamity. God hoard their pray.r,
und took compassion, and ordered a so.t
breeze from His merciful chamber of
peace to the earth to dispel the dar ami
threatening clouds: and when we awoke
In tho morning from a war-fearing slum
ber, we saw that the Angel of Light had
ben minlsu-riiii!. und had Illumine. I the
fuce of the American press with a clear
blue sky which fore an ensign of Divine
Protection, written In letters of lii'ht,
"Peace be unto you." "Consider how
great, etc."
Besides giving us divine protection, hon
or, peace, wisdom and mighty powr
and valour among all the nations of the
earth. He has caused nature to provide
for man and bea.-it. When the face of the
heavens might have been as Iron and tho
earth as brass through intense heat, ex
cessive rains might have destroyed the
ripening of the corn thus depriving us
of un Ingathering. Hut It hus not been
so. The Lord has been merciful. He has
done great things for us. He has given
sunshine and rain in their season and we
have enjoyed oi.e o' the largest .harvests
the land ever pi educed. Tho. earth has
vielded both her f.rults. the valleys have
stood thick with tinted com, and have
tilled our granaries.
The Lord has kept calamity and pesti
lence far from ua and while famine am)
destitution ts raging in some parts A the
earth; while the craving groans of hunger
are to be heard from motheis and chil
dren in distres3 rending the air, our barns
are full of wheat, "we have been fed with
the finest or wheat," and with honey out
of the rock He hath satisfied us. Ho has
crowned the year with His goodness and
His paths drop fatness. And Amerka
above all nations can praise God for this
goodness and mercy, for He hath more
than (Hied our barns, and enabled us as
a nation to stand by the destitute of other
countries In the hour of distress and af
fliction and cause them to rejoice and
feast on the fat of our land! "The Lord
huth provided for the poor." "Consider
how great things He hath done for us,"
and let every man, woman and child on
this praise-giving day life up their eyes
to heuven and exclaim with David, "Bless
the Lord, oh my soul and all that Is with
in me bless Ills holy name."
THE CHURCH IS POWERFUL.
Let us consider how great things He
hath done for us as churches. Never in
the history of the world has the church
been more powerful, more Influential,
more faithful, more prosperous, today she
is marching forward as one body ;lrmly
united against all sin and unrighteous
ness. What a motive to praise! "In a
country In which a few centuries baek
there existed none but the most blln led
pagans, bowing down to stocks and stones,
but when the few pilgrim fathers and
mothers with God-fearing hearts landed
on American soil, they unfurled the red
banner of the cross and hoisted It up to
the four winds of heaven, and drove Ihe
stakes of God's temple so deep with the
hummers of faith that the "gates of hell
cannot prevail against It." und today the
church of God stands firmer than ever,
defying all the powers of the bottomless
pit, and at the same time showering her
blessings Into every home In the land.
God wus with them, nnd they were with
God, the secret of their success which we
today enjoy lay In thu fact that they were
co-workers with God. And as God com
manded the children of Israel on ent?ring
Into the promised land to destroy all the
altars of the strange Gods, these good
ami God-fearing people took tho hint,
and with one great effort, and a victorious
sweep in God's name they utterly de
stroyed all the places wherein the people
served their Gods, upon tho high moun
tain, und upon the hills, and und a every
green tree. They overthrew their altars,
broUJe their Hilars, and burned their
groves with tire and utterly destroyed
the numes of them out of the land, and
today, the habits, deeds anil Influence
of those Godly pioneers has spread like
wild lire over the continent. Great light
arose to those who sat in darkness.
THE PAGAN ENLIGHTENED.
Justice and liberty unfurled their bnrvj
ners, and tnu pagan was led from bowing
to wood and stone, to serve the true und
living God, .until the story of the cross
has been carried from America to Africa,
India, China and Japan, and to tho re
mutest parts of the earth, and upon our
banners Is written In lette.s of love and
light, "In God we trust," until tho na
tions have come to know our power and
our faith in God, and that the "Lord of
hosts is with us, and that the God of
Jacob "Is America's refuge."
"Consider how great things tho Lord
hath done for us," und let every soul give
praise unto Him, for He hath established
His kingdom among us und gathered Into
His fold the outcasts of all the nations.
What a motive to gratitude, when we can
look through our windows nnd witness all
temples of the living God raising high
their steeples Into the heavens to be
kissed by the morning sun, and fanned
by tho soft breezes, testifying that the
Lord IS God Indeed and that He is a Uod
among His people. United together en
thin hour of piulse the bells of God's tem
ples peal forth their anthems of praise
unto the Most High God while at the same
time calling on all the people to come and
give thanks and sing praises unto His
Holy Name, for all the blessings He huih
bestowed upon us. What a motive to
gratitude when we think of the poor
Christians In Armenia persecuted and
tortured to death, for proclaiming their
faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, while we
are left unmolested, while we enjoy that
undisturbed calm and peace to worship
God In our way. "Consider bow great,
etc."
THE COMMUNITY 18 BLESSED.
Let us consider In the third place how
great things He hath done for us as a
community. We, as a community, have
been wonderfully blessed. The Lord has
been good unto us and we can afford to
say with Samuel: "Hitherto hath the Lord
helped us." We can with less difficulty
number the stars in the heavens than the
blessing we receive from Him. Most ev
ery day as we read our morning patters we
see where cities, towns and villages have
been visited by storms, cyclones, floods
and fires, sinking mines, hard earned prop
erty In floods and flames, destruction on
every hand. While hundreds of souls are
swept Into eternity without a moment's
warning! "Consider how great things,
etc." What a motive to gratitude. In
other parts not far from us we read cf
trolley cars crashing together and crush
ing the lives out of men, railroad cars
wrecked, bridges giving away, murders
committed and human lives lost, and with
in the last few weeks the sad calamities
In Dickson, Pittston and Wllkes-Barre,
where the deadly gas exploded and swept
in a deathly wave through tho bowels of
the earth,, burying fathers and sons in
the debris, leaving scores of widows and
orphan children to wail and mourn the
loss of their dear ones. What a motive
to gratitude, when the elements have been
working destruction on every hand, we
have been sheltered by the Almightv.
Truly the Lord hath been good to us.
"He has saved us from the pestilence that
walketh in darkness, and from the de
struction that wasteth at noonday." The
Lord has been our hiding place and deliv
era nee. "Let us bp glad in the Lord and
rejoice. Let us sing a new song unto the
Lord; for He hath done marvelous things;
who Is like unto him." Oh that we mav
all say with David: "Whilo I live I will
praise the Lord; I will sing praises unto
my God while I have any being." What
a motive to gratitude when people are
called to Judgment without a moment's
warning, and we are spared to repent for
our sins and retunrn to the Lord for mercy
and salvation!"
A BLESSING OP BLESSINGS.
This Is the blessing of blessings. An
opportunity to seek God. Ample time to
be reconciled unto Him. while there are
thousands passing each day into eternity,
through drunkards and murderers graves,
while fathers, mothers and sons are meet
ing God unprepared. He has given us
another opportunity to be saved, another
opportunity to plunge Into that cleansing
fountain that was opened for sin and un
cleanness. Oh that today we might see
some souls giving the right praise to God
by trusting in the Lord Jesus Christ, by
coming unto Him as they are weary and
heavy laden so that they might And rest
unto their souls. Fathers and mothers
out of Christ crown these services and
glorify God.
"Come with your sins to the fountain
Come with thy burden of grief.
Bury them deep In Its water.
There thou wilt And a relief.
Come as thou art to the fountain,
Jesus is waiting for thee.
What though thy sin be like crimson.
White as th. snow they shall bel"
9
We cannot praise God as we ought to
unless we follow Samuel's advice to the
children of Israel: "Fear the Lord; and
serve Him in truth, with all your heart."
Fear Him not with that dread fear which
is the characteristic of those who are In
misery and sin, but with that fear that
brightens the hopes of the fcelleveb. and
Alls him with Joy, peace and happiness,
although In the midst of tribulations,
fear Him with that holy and Godly fer
that will enable us to say with the great
Apostle of the Gentiles: "We glory In
tribulations also: knowing that tribula
tion worketh patience; and patience ex
perience; and experience hop; and hope
maketh not ashamed: because the love
of God Is shed abroad In our hearts by
the Holy Ghost which Is given unto us.''
May we all possess this Godly fear, so
that we can from this day on ''serve the
Lord In truth with all our hearts." Sing
praises unto Him. meditate on His law
day and night. Glorify His name In ev.
ery thing we say and do. Tell of His lov
ing and saving grace to a dying world.
May God help us to "present our bodies
a living sacrifice holy acceptable unto
Him." And may this service be the means
of tilling each soul with gratitude and
praise und bring us closer than ever to
Jesus, and by looking unto Him "the au
thor und finisher of our faith." for grace
and salvation, we may all be found among
the great washed throng In heaven prais
ing Him who loved us, and brought us
and wushed us In His own blood. Amen.
