THE JOTJRMt.!'-!
- CLEARFIELD, PA., NOV. 25, 1S57.
Thanksgiving Day.
Thursday, 23th instant, being tbe day set a
jiart by proclamation of the Governor of the
Common wealth to ba obserTecl as a dav of
Thanksgiving, the Churches of tho Borough
of Clearfield hare agreed upon a Union Cele
bration. The congregations of the place are
therefore invited to attend at the Presbyterian
church on Thursday morning at 11 o'clock,
where.appropriate services will be held.
"Accidest. On last Friday, near noon, Mr.
Alfred Southard, of this place, in wrestling
wfth another young man, had his left hip dis
located, which the physicians had considera
ble trouble in setting.
'. Comxtttid. On last Friday, Henry F. Cook,
of Beccaria township, was committed to our
county jail, charged "with lifting a letter from
the office at Glen Hope, containing a check of
fifty dollars on tbe Bank of Chester County,
with forging the name of C. J. Shofi, and with
passing said check to C. C. Shannon, at Al
toona." Takes to the Penitentiary. On Monday
morning, Sheriff Reed left this place with
Hobert Warden, convicted of horse-stealing,
and DavKl r easier, convicted ot burning a
barn and horso stealing, for Allegheny City,
where they are to be imprisoned in the Wes-
tcnf Penitentiary 'Warden tor three years and
ten months, and Feaster for two years and six
months. On Sunday evening, Warden made
a last effort to escape from jail. lie wrenched"
Ills hobbles off, and had a hole dug through the
wall, but had it so concealed that it was not
immediately discovered. Fortunately, how
ever, he had been placed in another room, du
ring the night.
The Eight Spirit. By a notice in to-day's
Journal, it will be seen that the several church
es of this borough are to have a joint service
on Thanksgiving Day. This is right. It dis
plays a proper christian spirit. It is a niani
iestation of that kindly, fraternal feeling that
should characterize every follower of the Sa
vior. We have a poor opinion of that sort of
.religion which studiously avoids affiliation
with other denominations which wraps itself
-up in the ample folds of superstition, bigotry
and selfishness which practically says 'I am
holier than thou." Love and meekness arc
attributes of genuine Christianity. The Sa
vior, when he visited the earth, presented him
self as one of her meekest and lowliest sub
jects. Tlumility marked his whole career, and
fraternal love characterized all his actions.
He knew nothing of bigoted sectarianism, but
taught his disciples to "love one another."
Whenever this admonition is fully carried in
to Draclice. we shall cease to hear of those
bickerings and strifes which now too often agi
tate Protestant churches, and we shall find
them joining in one common voice in their as
criptions of praise to Ilim, who presides over
the destinies of the world, and reigns eternal
in the heavens.
