CAPE MAY HERALD, THURSDAY, DECEMBER i, 1904.

THANKSGIVING SERVICES HELD Ao Able Hermoa I*re«ihed in the M. K- Church by Her. I>r. Hpoouer. K«r. A. W. Spooner wna the prtnd(>«l •pnnker at the UnionTbankagiflnf Service* in the Kiral M. K. CLurcb U*t Tbureday. The eervices wer* heartily joint*! in by everyona. Key 8. K. (iaaklll matie the opening prayer and read the Bible lesson. The oflenng was taken for the Home for Feeble-Minded at Vineland. The fol■lowing waa Dr. Spooner’* *ermon:— Of all the annual festival*, thauk*irlving ia the one most distinctively American, and fragrant above all Olliers with the aroma of romantic history, growing more and more aacred with with the pa-sing of the years Well may the nation, which trace* ita pedigree back to the Puritan* of New England, the sturdy yoeman of the land of the Inather and ‘‘Bonny Briat Bosh." and the martyr men of the Netherlands, respond to the call of it* chief magistrate, and around the altars of God's house pause to consider the wondrous way by which onr God has led ns np to thia glyd day of gra». \ this is to be a glad day of festivity,'' of family reunion—of social enjoyment—of joyoos feasting : and yet the feast ahoold be not ho much of turkeys and plum paddings and mince pies, and the fatlicgs of the stalls, and of , indigestible condiment* which often load down the blood with impurity and rob it of its f.bre, bnt ratlier an intdectnal and splr'toal feasting, a* we dwell upon the romance of onr national history, which cannot fail to kindle the flames of patriotism and bring thn sonl to its knees in hnmble gratitude to God The mercies and blewings of tbi year mn-t not be overlooked nor on derestimaten. Among all the natin' s of the earth onrs stands today signally favored. Onr fields have gorauod with golden harvests: onr wheels'Of indncry hare burred the whole year throagh: car commerce has penetra ed the distant ports of the earth : onr flag is honored by cverv Ki"g and Czar and Emperor coder the sun: To be a cittz America never meant so onch day : and for all this we thank God. As a community we aleo ms abnndant cnases for gratitm joicing Among the many others let me specify thise— I— That taxes are no higher than they are. 3—That onr school-an institutions in which we may all feel jnstiflble

pride.

3— That the portofflee is no more di lapidated than it i*. 4— That some houses ate being painted with poeeibilitv of its ing epidemic before spring. 3—That the Pennsylvnia Railroad did'nt quite demolish the nwn when securing right of way for its proposed

depot

6— That there are some men citizenship is *o lofty and incorruptible that no politician dare approach them at election time with a price.. 7— That so many common blearing* are enjoyed alike by all—*o that ubilt the price of turkeys is so high th*. only the rich can afford one today, clams may be had for the digging and wild docks for the shooting. 8— That the new dredge arrived in safety strengthening onr hopes that the 600 acre harbor may become a certainty. 9— That there are still men in onr churches who maintain the family altar and support the weekly prayer meeting 10— That not all onr young men have fallen into the saloon trap, offi cially set and endorsed: whose very ■existence anticipates and neoemitate* the ruin of men. II— That the gnlf stream comes so close to our shore and that the stream of divine mercy seta steadily onr way. These are a tew of the reasons why Oape May and iu inhabitants ought (odarjo be profoundly grateful to th* of all good. Bnt this Thanksgiving sermon is not for purposes of humor and far less of satire—hut rather to point out as plainlv as I may be able in this britf discourse, the evidence of God’s presence and the rulings of divine providence in toe unparrelled developments of this nation yet in it* infancy. The trend of this present age seems to me to be strongly materialistic. Rationally speaking, God is too often forgotten nntll an aasaasin'* ballet

Perhaps present at th* launching, piloted It into tbs deep sea* and then left it to sail on with bnt a human

a rapid glance at tbe

Godbld from tbe eyusof Kaxope aad

The physical characteristics of this country together with 1<* strategic location oa (be globe, giving It tremendous lev*rage both oa tbe Occident and the Orient auffioe to db mo tut rare *0 me that God designed it to become ultimately th* mighlieat nation on tbe earth. Look at the natural provisions for world wide commerce, bated upon iu products and manufactories almost Inoa lou lab Is. It needs bnt a moment s reflection to convince any intelligent mind that the Misriseippi river, with nomerous tributaries affording 90,000 miles of steamboat navigation, waa Intended not for the Indian with his birch bark’canoe but for a people far advanced in civilisation denuding theee majestic water ooarses for tbe trmtpcrtation of tbe producU ot mill, and mines and meadow, on deep broad ke <ta Of what nsa to the dn*ky savage, or his half mythological predescewor were the 800,000 square mile* of coal area with which this land is bleaeed? Of far more value to him were the twigs which be could gather ‘Death the wind-1wept branches of primeval forest*. There were rich veins of gold and silver aud copper and iron and lead and tin, bnt these were of uo mme value to him than the pebble* pressed by his mocaasmed feet as he chased the buffalo and hanted tbe stag. More than two thirds of our frontier line is bounded by inlsud sea* and wide rolling ocean, bnt tbi* signified nothing to the untotored savage who neither desired nor needed intercourse with other people. Time will uot allow me to enumeratejtll the physlscl conditions which Heem to uccessitate that this shall be come at no distant day tbe dominant pewer of the world, commercially, intellectually, and spiritually. Then again tbe character of tbe original stock from which the typical American was to be extracted was full of promise. It is a physiological principle universally acknowledged that the strength and perfection of any species is beat preserved by mixing the blood of different vsrietiee: and what con Id be more in keeping with tbe tremendooH sweep of the plan than that tbe Almighty in open ing up a uew world should people it wtrh a new race. The history of onr country is unique in thir retpect and abeolotely without pare!lei The Bazoo and Norman united, to form the English race and a sturdy race it i* —but uotioe the races that poured their blood into the vein* of the American. New England was settled as ire all know, bv ihe EngH-h Puritans, with * sprinkling from S otland and Wale*. New York by Dutch, Pennsylvania bv Dutch aud Swi-dee. Virginia opened her ports to the English Cavaliers, Vonh and South Carolina tell into he hands ot the gallant French Hn/nenoc«, houmanna Pecan c a French province, Florida, Texa* and California were settlui by Siwnish immigrant* and adventurers and thus the«e '■reron* families from the dominant nation* of tbe earth, found hero a con -

Bnt did they preserve their national characteristioa, asd tbe parity of their ruoe blood; not Mailt A strung* process of fusing and amalgamation begin*. French and Spanish and Dutch and Welsh and Danes and Engli-h move here and there—separate from their country men—adapt themaelve* to new social aurroandlnga inter marriage becomes common and !o! tbe next generation is neither Dutch, nor French, nor English, but American. A new race ia boro and for that toe a new country ia ready and forthwith tbe wondrous history which every Thangagiving day celebrates, begins to be written. The story of our brief tional life read like an Arab 'Knight’s Tale. What gigantic strides across every field of enterprise. Why, the baby America put on seven league boots before it waa ont of the cradle, tod has grown ao tall and robust that now 70 league* are none too large. Look at the government* of the old world! Examine tbe soul si conditions, the products of art and literature, music and all the token* of scholastic attainment aad refined intelligence, aad apart from rained castles and ivy covered cathedrals and an effete ariat roc racy, what do yon discover snp erior to home product*, that indicate* the eeniorty of the “old world" and .the infancy of tbe “nswf” If they name for state*men Gladstone and Pitt, we will' rash to their tide Oalhonn, Webster and Ohaa.
