ALL THE CONGREGATIONS UNITE I Rev. Meredith, Pastor of the Methodist Episcopal Church, Preached the Sermon and Pointed Out Advances Made In Work of the Oospel. Tlio Primitive Methodist church, at the corner of Jiirclin nml O.vk streets, was tho sccno of a formal and religious observance of Thanksgiving Day this morning. As has been tho custom for several years, all tho Protestant denominations of the town joined in union Thanksgiving scrvico and tho at tendance was very largo. Of course, all tho congregations wero not represented in their entirety at the service; there is no edifice in tho town that could accommodate such an assemblage and it could not bo expected, but each denomination was represented by a good sized delegation and tho church was well tilled. Tho servico opened at 10:30 o'clock with an organ voluntary and was followed by an in vocation, after which tho congregation joined in singing the Winn, "The God of harvest praise," which was rendered with a fervency befitting the occasion. Prayer was then of fered by Rev. Scaehrist, pastor of tho Eng. lish Luthoran church, nnd was followed by a sweet anthem effectively rendered by tho ex cellent choir of the Primitive Methodist church. After the reading of tho scripture lesson by Rev. Robert O'Boyle, pastor of tho Trinity Keformcd church, tho congregation joined in singing the powerful hymn, "Be fore Jehovah's awful throne." The thanks offering, which will bo donated to tho aid of theJ.T. of II, and T. public reading room, was then taken up and tho contributions wero very liberal. After another anthem by tho choir Itev. J. F, Meredith, pastor of tho Meth odist Episcopal church, preached a sermon. It was a very ablo discourse. Tho text was from Isaiah XXI, 1112, "Watchman, what of tho night?" I!ev. Meredith opened tho discourse by speaking of the object of tho gathering and then referred to tho fact that tho people of tho United States are a liberty-loving people, aro in sympathy with the Cubans in their struggle for liberty and, as christians, con demn tho treatment of tho-Arincuians by the Turks. As christians tho people are learning that tho church Is moio than creed or ritual. It is earthly the in-dwelling spirit ot Christ. He said in substance that ou such occasions as tho gathering he addressed it is usually ex pected of ministers to preach more on secular matters tlian on spiritual. Ho called atten tion to some matters connected with the church that gives some encouragement to christians. In answer to tho question, "Watchman, what of tho night?" lie an swered that tho "morning cometh ;" and in summing facts pointed first to tho position now held by tho christian church tho activity of tho church. Ho showed that tho christian church to-day is more active andag gresslvo than at any other time in its history; more work is being done. The best evidence of this is in tho activity or extension of tho church j tho vast number of churches being built all over tho land ; and laid stress upon tho fact that the Methodist Episcopal denom ination is building tbreo churches a day, and tho Presbyterians, tho Baptists and others aro following closo behind. Rev. Meredith followed up his discourso by speaking of tho activity in domestic missions, in bands of christian workers in all the great cities of tho laud, and particularly tho work of the Homo Missionary Society, which is not only looking after tlio cities, but after tho workers in the northwest and southwest, where tho pcoplo aro poor, and the Society is helping to sustain them. Ho also spoko of tho foreign missions that aro being sustained by all tho denomina tions in all lands, and said there are thousands of people who aro being brought into churches iu foreign lands, such as India, Japan, China, Mexico, South America and tho Islands of tho South Sea. One special point was in- staucod in connection with San Francisco, California, whero lately a thousand Japanese wero converted and they have organized a Japanese church. Millions of money aro being raised for missions. Millions arc pour ng into tho treasury of tho christian church ; more than over before, and that is a matter for thanksgiving. Itev. Meredith's second point was based on tho uprising and organization of tho young people of tho Protectant churches. Ho referred to the Christian1 Endeavor as the undenominational and international society now nuihbering nearly two million of tlio most intelligent and devoted youug people in the world; and they aro thoroughly organized and full of enthusiasm for Christ and his church. They aro tho crusaders of tlio 10th and 80th centuries. They aro not contending for the Savior's tomb, but for tlio enthronement of the living Christ in the minds of men, Speakiug of tho influence of the last four conventions of the Christian Endeavor upon tho country, Kov. Meredith said it was made profound by their religious fervor and work. In tho organizations of thoso young peoplo aro tho most prominent signs of tho coining of the morning ; and not only in tho Christian Endeavor, but in tho young people's leagues, alliances and union?, Tho pastor exhorted his listeners topatrouize nnd encourage them. Thirdly, Kov. Moreditli spoko of tho attitude of the secular prosi toward tho church. Before tho lato war, say to years ago, tho secular press paid but little atteution to church news, or church proceedings. How changed is all this ! Now the press associa tions spend money and laoor and spread out boforo tho world tho latest item of tlio church Conferences, conventions and assem blies, church dedications, revivals and missionary and Sunday school movements. Many of ibe great dallies present tho sermons delivered ou tho Sabbath to tho readers in tho Monday morning papers, all of which shows that tlio silent forces of tho gospel aro spread ing and that tho mlllcnlum cometh. Fortunately tho speaker called attention to tho progress of tho Bible's holiness. Thcro aro thoso who argue that tho trend of tho church is towards worklines and formality. This Is hot truo of tho church as a whole. Tho facts already referred to disprove this. There aro somo christians who think, as tho ancient pagan, that the golden ago was in tho far distant past ; but not so. Tlio chris tian church is nioic alivo to-day than at any time since tho pentecost ; thcro aro moro christians preaching a full salvation from all sin tbafi at any time in tho history of tho church'J and thcro aro more christians now in all tlio Prostcstant denominations than since the Pentecostal baptism. Thcro are moro holy and consecrated men and women than ever before, and there aro more than 300 evangelists preaching holiness in this land. As a last point Itev. Meredith called atten tion to the efforts being made to rid tho nation of tho drink curse. Ho referred to tho great work of tho W. C. T. U. with its wido-spread work in all the cities, and tho pluck and de flanco of tho senior and junior political pro hibltioli leagues, as well as the educational work in the public schools through the teach ing of physiology. Ho also referred to tho last T. A. B. convention in Now York and tho attitude of all tho Protestant denomina tions. "This shows tho attitude of tlio king dom df Christ to-day towards the drink curso, which lias been tho curso of the past ages," said Kov. Meredith, and it will be destroyed. Thcro is, therefore, cause for profound thanksgiving to God for tho proud sigus uf tlio coming of tho morning." Tho singing of tho hymn, "Great God of nations" and the doxology was followed by tho benediction, which closed the service. ' A OAlt LOAD OP Al'J'LllS.

HOW HIS HAIR TURNED TO SILYER Peter Dean, of Boston, Was Born to be a Miner and Was Allowed to Fire a Shot His First Day in the Shan. How It Was Received. fpcclnl Ilr.nALn Correspondence. Boston, Mass., Nov. 28, 180r,. I'otcr Dean, n young mining engineer, Went from Boston to Londvlllo to ncqulro the practical part of his profession. Ho tolls what befell lilmns follows: "At Lond vlllo I met a person nnnied Thompson Gassy Thompson, ho was called by thoso nhout him lu tostlniony to his powers as n conversationalist. A barkeeper who seemed tho best Informed nnd tho most gontlo iimnly soul lu town told mo that Gassy Thompson was n miner full of practical skill nnd thnt ho was just then engaged In sinking a shaft. I might urrango with Gassy nnd learn tho business. At tlio bar koopcr's hint, I proposod ns Jiiueh to him. 'All right,' paid Gassy; 'como out to the shaft tomorrow.' . "Tho nest day I was ot tlio plnco ap pointed. Tho slmtt was already CO feet deep. Resides myself and this person Gassy, who was to tutor mo, thcro was creature immed Jim. That nmdo three of us. At tho suggestion of Gnssy ho nnd I descended into tho shaft. .Tim was left on tho fcurfneo. Wo went down by means of n bucket, Jim unwinding us from u rickety old windlass. Onco down, Gnssy nnd I, with sledges nnd drill, penetrated a holo In tho bottom of tho shaft. I hold the drill, Gnssy wielding tho slcdgo. When tho holo met, tho worshipful tnsto of my tutor, bo put. in ndynainito cnrtrldgo, con nected a long ilvo mlmito fus-o therewith nnd carefully thuniboditnboiitnndpnckod It In with wet clay. "At Gussy'n word I was thon hauled to tho surfaco by Jim. I ndded my strength to tho windlass; Gnssy climbed Into tho bucket, lighted tho fuse and was then swiftly wound to tho stirfaeo by Jim mid myself. Wo then dragged the windlass aside, uncovorcd tho mouth of the shaft and quickly scampered to u dlstnnru to bo out of barm's reach. At tho end of five minutes from tho time that Gnssy had lighted tho fuse, and perhaps threo minute? after wo had cleared nwny, tho shot ex ploded with a ilealening report.' As a re sult, tons of rook were shot up from the mouth of tho shaft full 60 feet into tho nlr. It was nil very impressive nnd gave mo a losson in the tremendous power of dynamite. I was much pleased and felt as If I worn learning. "Following tho explosion, Gnssy nnd I ngnln repaired to tho bottom of the shaft, nnd nftcr clearing nwny tho debris ami sending It up out by tho bucket we re sumed the sledge nnd drill. We completed another holo and wero ready for n second shot. This was about noon. It whs at this point tho miscreant Gassy began to put Into action n plot liu had formed against me, nnd to carry out which tho inurdoror, Jim, lent ready aid. You must romonibcr that I bad perfect conlidenco In these two villinns. 'I never seed no ten derfoot cit along liko you do ut this busi ness, said Thompson to mo. 'Looks llko you was born to bo a miner,' ho went on. 'Now, I'm goln to let you flru tho next shot. Usual, I wouldn't feol justified in nllowln n tonderfoot to ilro a shot for plumb three months. But you lias a genius' for mlnin. It comes us easy to you ns robbln n birds' nest. I'd bo doln wrong to hold you back.' "Of course I nnturnlly felt pleased. To bo allowed to ilro n dynamlto shot on my first day In n shaft I felt, nnd knew to bo an honor. I determined to write home to my frionds of this triumph. Gassy said he'd put. in tho shot, and bo secured onu of giant slzo. I saw tho oxplo.4vo placed In tho holo. Then ho attached tho fuse and thumbed tlio clay about It as before. Ho gavo mo a fow last words. 'After I gots up,' be said, 'an mo an Jim's all ready, you climb into the bucket an light tho fuso. Then rnlso tho long yell to mo an Jim,, an wo'll yank you out. Hut bo shoro mi light the fuso. Tbar's nuthln moro dlscouragln than for to wait half an hour outsldo nn no cortrldogoin off.

"Jim and Gassy wero nt tho windlass nnd yelled, 'AH ready bolowl' I was In the bucket, nnd at tho word scratched a match and lit tho fuso. It sputtered with alarming nrdor nnd throw o)T n showor of spnrks. 'Hoist nyayl' I called. Tho vil lains ran mo up about ten feet and came ,to a dead halt.

'I'll havo your hourt out,' I heard Gassy sny. My nlnrm was without a limit. I'd seen ono shot go off. Hero I was n-swlnglng somo ten feet over a hoavler chargo nnd about to bo blown Into etornlty.
