subject was the call for thanksgiving at the century's close vemei 36 to 88 in tin satm connection were also token to illottrate the main text rev valentine said ' the psalmist's expression of hisforvenl wish that men would praise the lori has the force of an appeal to us that appeal is reinforced bv the historic memories of thanksgiving day re r-hinding us that our national life in its primary sources was blended with de vout recognition of god's goodness as originated by the pilgrim fathers thanksgiving'day is an impressive me morial of their robust piety giving them a deep sense of god's mercy even when they were few and feeble and en compassed with difficulties doubtless it ia true and to be re gretted that among the people at large the observance ol the day has lost tome of it old time zest and pions purpose but many do observe it with remem brance of its meaning and it is a cher ished national institution its re currence especially in this last year of a century so richly crowned with god's mercy is a summons to us to observe it in the right spirit and heartfelt grati tude toward god in keen burning the sacred lire which t'>e devotion of the fathom kindled i shall give a few moments i to vivifying the general truth that god's mercies are multitudinous to be duly thankful we need to recog nize that all good rifts are from qoa theoretically we admit this but prac tically it is . ften forgotten from time immemorial egy.pt has been water ed ami enriched by the annual overflow of the river nile hut for that egypt would have been a desert but by thi.s means became a garden of fertility yet for thousands or years the egyptians were ignorant of the file's sources many thought not ignorant are as oblivious of the divine source of all blessings lint we need to recognijo not only that good gifts are from god but that the blessings received are hke the stars for multitude in this also lir through pi i.ver lining to the eloun then let us remember how littlo we deserve from god pride makes u.i dissatisfied with what we have because we imagine that we deserve so much more get a true view of your own unworthiness and you will be moved to wondering praise that god gives you so much if we quit grumbling and think of our mercies we will be able to see that they are many we need more of thespiift of the man who said that many complained bout the weather but when he got up in the morning he was thankful to find any weather at all with a thankful spirit we will find reas on to thank god for material blessings if you can see that prosperity is return ing thank god if not thank him be cause he is the god of harvests ami von 1 get many good things even after the grain speculators have taken toll we ought to be thankful because ambler has in it very little extreme destitution we have reason to be thankful for civil and national privileges which if not perfect are better than they ever have been anywhere else we may he thank ' ful for public providences for the com parative decency of the last election and whatever our political views that we are not to meet the uncertainties of a change of the party in power i de voutly thank god for the victory of or ganized labor in the coal field for the fact that the anticipated tragedy at pekin was averted we may find reason to thank god for individual providences j^id above all for tho blessings of grace plough jesus christ whichever way we turn our thoughts we may behold mercies unnumbered but there is one thought especially pertinent at this time to which i wish to direct your atten tion ii the incentives to praise in the facts of providential progress the verses in the second part of my text suggest a series of graphic scenes tin first is a wildemehs which god is yd enriching and preparing in the second he iias made the hungry the needy to dwell there next he enables them to build a city with the priviliges and ad vantages which that implies fields ami fruitful vineyards takti the place of forimn waste the people multiply thgbkc-timc wilderness is now the liii^jjof a mpiiloiih and prosperous community this the psalmist urges as a theme of praise thanksgiving day ought always to remind us of prog real made under god'l blessing at the feast of the tabernacles the jewish thanksgiving feast the lews were i dwell in booths to remind them of the homeliness of thuii fathers when they came from egypt and lhin showed them by contrast their own more lav ond lot so thanksgiving day by its associations reminds us of the boo nets of our lather tinting from old world persecution and dwelling in the wilderness with mere temporary struc turws of their father as then only shelter froiu wild beasts ami tierce win ler what contrast between their lot and ours what cause we have for gratitude but never before was this reflection no pertinent as ou this last thanksgiving day of the moot nin.uk abui oenturv iu man's history it in common i gnejtk f the wonderful

markable increase of population i will be seen that the actual gain in total church membership has been stupen dous these facts show the grounds for devout recognition of god's goodness other facts show iii the present urgent need for larger measure of it the number of church members has increased . but proportionately fewer non-memebrs at lend mi.ny members attend only 00 caslonally moreover statistics show for the past few years a startling decrease of additions to church membership it is widely recognized that christendom just now is in a state of spiritual dearth and confronted with something like o crisis there is a strong drift toward fnrgetfulntss of god itudyary kipling's impressive hymn is lo the point : lord iod of hosts be with us yet lest we forget lest we forget one reason of the generalforgetf illness is that among christians there is too little of that type of religious experience which causes one's whole being to thrill with the consciousness that god is good and greatly to te praised we need to get such spiritual experience of his goodness that we shall be constrained k ho and tell others what great tilings he has done for us then as christian people of ambler we need to get to gether in some united effort to fulfill our j"int mission to this community by awakening in many hearts the spirit of praise and thanksgiving oh that the cumin century now at
