The r>sxily Review Towanda, Pa., Monday, Nov. 14, 1881. EDITORS I. W. ALVOttD. NOBLE N. ALVORD "Daily tteviete" only 85 eenlt per month. Try it, Proclamation for Thanksgiving Day. By the President of the United States of America —A proclamation: It has long been the pious cus tom of our people, with the closing of the year, to look back upon the blessings brought to them in the changing course of the seasons, and to return solemn thanks to the All Giving Source from whom they flow. Amd although at this period when the falling leaf admonishes us that the time of our sacred duty is at hand, our nation still lies in the shadow of a great bereavement, and the mourn ing which has tilled our hearts, still finds its sor rowful expression toward the God before whom we but lately bowed in grief and supplication. Yet the countless benefits which have showered upon us during the past twelve months call for our fervent gratitude, and make it .flttin'g that we should rtyolcc with thankfulness that the Lord in llis infinite mercy lias most signally favored our country and our people. Peace without and pros perity within have been vouchsafed to us. No pestilence has visited our shores. The abundant privileges of freedom, which our fathers left us in their wisdom, are still our increasing heritage. And if, in parts of our vast domain, some affliction lias visited our brethren in their forest homes, yet even this calamity has been tempered and in a man ner sanctified by the generous compassion for the suffers which has been called forth throughout our land. For all those tilings it is meet tliat the voice of the nation should go up to God in devout hom age. Wherefore I, Chester A. Arthur, President of the United States, do rccommed that all the peo ple observe Thursday, the24th day of November, inst., as a day of national thanksgiving and prayer, by ceasing so far as may be, from their secular la bors and meeting in their several places of worship, there to join in ascribing honor and praise to Al mighty God, whose goodness has been so manifold in our history and in our lives, and offering earnest prayers that His bounties may continuo to us and to our children. * In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed Done at the city of Washington, thin fourth day of November, in the year of our Lord 1881, and of the independencejof the United States, 108. [Signed] CHESTER A. ARTHUR. By the President. JAMES G. BLAINE, Secretary of State. The city of Chicago presents some phases of growth and prosperity unpre cedented in|thc annals of any other city in lie United States. It is withal abe uti ful city, full of egotism and self conceit. For example, when speaking of New York, it is dubbed the "Chicago of the East," and Milwauke, B."> miles away, is called in their suburbs. This spirit of self-importance seems to pervade the minds of, not only the business and newspaper men of that city, but some of the clergy have drauk it in, as was the case of Prof. Swing, a Presbyterian min ister, who a few years ago in his own conceit outgrew the standards and doc trines of that church and began to preach a foreign gospel, one not at all in keeping with their confsssiou of faith. He was tried by a church tribunal, during which he fought hard to maintain his standing intact in the organization, but at last he was compelled to retire and have his il lustrious name taken off the church roll. Now a Methodist minister, a Dr. Thomas is sailing" before the public iu a similar boat. He too having grown so wise and so sxpanded in Biblical knowl edge and truth that the Methodist coat no longer fits, but rather chafes his syn> etrical form and is too galling to be lon ger worn. Hence lie has been serving his hearers a new gospel diet,savoring of broad.liberalism and not at all consistent with the belief and doctrine of the saint ly Wesley. Having denied the inspira-1 tiou of a portion of the Scriptures and having preached a doctrine at point-blank variance with the Book of Scripture, he was charged with heresy and recently tried and convicted; he fighting all the time for a membership intact with the society. Now so far as the right of Mr. Thomas or any other body to embrace new views and travel hidden aisles in search of truth and light, we have nothing to say. j We would circumscribe no oue in search of knowledge nor hamper any mind pene- ; tratiug the recesses of truth. That of which we complain is that men—Swing, Thomas or any other joining a sect or organization, religious or otherwise, ac cepting in good faitli its belief, doctrine, constitution aud all and afterwards changing their views, differing with their former profession and belief, have not the honor, stamina and manhood to step down and out and not attempt jto hold a membership, throwing lire brands, creating dissensions and working mis chief and ruin to all concerned. Politi cians who are branded as having little honor, never do this sort of thing and members of a secret organization who object to the discipline or routine of duty of the order rarely care to remain in membership, bnt rather choose to get out and breathe an atmosphere suited to their constitution and congenial to their taste. This is the prerogative of any person joined to a society or organization and we think it shows much better sense to exercise it rather than cut the splurge of these divines. 'i'lie world is wide and the torch of re ligious liberty now burns in nearly every clime, llence if these wise men have struck a gospel bonanza, why keep it within the pale of a church away from the masses who need truth and light. Kath let him retire from the society, bringing away his stock of newly invented gospel panacrea, spreading it broadcast and not attempt to run a free trade or liberal ship under sectariiu orthodox colors and mak ing an inirlorious light in the attempt to fly them. The church organization can not be censured for attempting to dis charge such doubtful freight, when to keep if aboard is damaging to the society and tends to its disparagement and ruin. Mr. Thomas has known for some time that he is not a proper candidate for the M. E church, nor is he wanted in it. He is aware that his belief and preaching are in opposition to its tenets and had he quietly packed up his goods and left, it would have been far more manlj r and honorable on his part than it was to in augurate the late strife in which he has been badly defeated.
