Clinton. S. C. CLINTON, S. C., NOV. 26, 1925 8 PAGES THE FREE PRESS President Coolidge, in sending a letter the other d^y to the celebration of the 200th anniversary of New York’s first newspaper, the New York Gazette, remarked that the American prefes has always been an inconveni ence to bigotry and oppression and an aid to free thought and aspiration. If people ask the- newspapers to accept certain fixed standards of thought, or bow down to those who are wealthy and powerful, there is some thing in the newspaper mind that re volts. Newspaper people have plenty of faults, and admit it. But they chose their calling orginally, not because they thought it was the most money making profession, for it is far from that. They chose it because thejr liked the chance for expression of thought. When they give that chance ■ away, they throw away the thing they chose their work for and might as well “close up shop.” There is not much danger that the press,'some fear, will ever be “controlled.’ v 4y way to thik present day wild feast and pleasure-seeking day. Perhaps the children in school-particularly the smaller ones, come closer to getting the real spirit of Thanksgiving than we older ones, for in learning of the ials and hardships of the Pilgrim Fathers they imbibe something of the spiritual outlook. Is it too much to grant our Creator one day oK{Jie year to pause in our pleasure and nmney-seeWng existence and thank Hini'Cor all the ^blessings which He continually showers upon us—blessings more often than not, un deserved ? We have nordmcarded the Thanksgiving turkey, why^sjiould we discard the real Thanksgiving spirit ? Before we enter into the true Spirit of the day it is necessary to put aw our hatreds, our grouches and discon tents and selfishness and center our thoughts upon the blessings that have ccme our *way. If one would give thanks he must rer.iiz.' the fact of having been blessed, and in doing so he minimizes the misfortunes he has ' experienced. The pessimist is in no position to give thanks. He knows nothing of the word gratitude. This Thanksgiving season, if enter ed into in the old-fashioned, intended way, will be a blessing to us all. It will mean not only an occasion when we may think of others, but we may express our gratitude to the Most High for His cares and kindness of the past^ but likewise a time when by marshaling our blessings before us we are inspired with new hope and courage for the future. ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦Mi Seventeen Years Ago <: Items From “Our Monthly** of 1905, Dr. Win.

THANKSGIVING PRAYER Our Heavenly Father, wO x thank Thee for Thine unfailing mercy^de- spite our waywardness and for Thine abounding providences even though we have been so unforgetful of Thee and of Thy love. We thank Thee that Thou hast so often put the angel with the drawn sword across our pathway when we have been bent on doing evil and on having our own way. Like as a father pitieth his children. Thou hast pitied us and we have received goodness upon goodness,‘'"and beauty upon beauty out of the rich, eventful year which has passed away-forever Now that the football season is clos ing, our colleges will get back to nor mal again. , With Christmas coming, this is the ihe of the year when ever gins to be good to father. Another trouble with a fast young man is that he is usually slow pay. Speaking of Jucky boys, what about the one whose father owns a filling station ? The trouble with taking things as they come is that you don’t know who may be watching. Often we have looked upon the clouds, and dewed the flowers on the new- made mounds with our tears, but as a mother comforteth her children Thou didst comfort us. In all our ex periences Thy grace has been suffici ent for us. We bless Thee, our Father, and pray that Thou wilt still lead u? on over whatever way may prove to be our future path. We thank Thee for our homes, our country, our churches and our friends. We thank Thee that we have had strength and a task for those who love us, and whom we love. Grant it unto us that we may live in Thy light .and truth as a nation, as families, as churches and as individuals, and that thus the way may ever grow brighter for us and for the world. Ever give us, if Thou will it, work and flowers, and friends with laughter and love. If it must be otherwise with us, grant us the strength still to sing and be glad. And may our whole life on earth be a service to Thee and to our fellow* men and then will our heaven be an eternity of thanksgiving. Through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen,—Chris tian Herald.

We hope the good work will go right on until Clinton will look as if had all been put up yesterday^ A.t our appraoching commencement we look forward for an address from Prof. James H. Thorn well (HI) of Winnsboro. The Thornwell Orphan- was named for his grandfather, father was a devoted friend of th& institution and we are pleased to in troduce the third of that illustrious name to our orphans, where for his own and for his ancestors’ sake, he will be a very welcome guest. The death of Rev. Dawson Henery on the 13th of June, brought sorrow to the hearts of the orphan household at Clinton, which he loved so well, and where many years of his life was spent. He had passed through a long and trying spell of sickness, during which he manifested a lively desire to live if it might be God’s will, but at the same time giving evidence of a faith in God that all would be well, no matter wfiat the outcome might be. His death ends a very promising career. He had been in the ministry only five yfears, his first charge being at Malden, W. Va., whence a year or two ago he was transferred to the pastorate of his church at Charleston, W. Va. Four year? ago he was mar ried in the First Presbyterian church of Greenville, to Miss Ophelia Bailey. His wife as well as himself, was a pupil of the Thornwell Orphanage. The love they had for their home is shown in the name, Thornwell, that they gave to their oldest child. Mr. Henery’s death was deeply regretted in Clinton where he was long K tati- dent and where he was always a fav orite. He was born at Charleston, S. C., and died at. Charleston, W. Va.

THANKSGIVING Another year has rolled around and once more the season of Thanksgiving is upon us. Each year, we of the old generation face this season with • a slight sting of .regret, not because the years have not brought us much to be thankful for, but because thfe Thanks giving of our younger days, the Thanksgiving of our fathers, is fast Incoming a tradition. We realize that it shows a lack of progress to hark back constantly to things of the past and to regret the innovations which the present is con stantly bringing us. But surely it shows no lack of progress to ke loathe to part with one thing urkil we have something better to substitute in its place, and we cannot see tl^at the present day Thanksgiving is in any way a fit substitute for the one we used to know. There is no doubt that the human race has advanced during the past de cade, physically and mentally. In fact, most of us have become so suffi cient unto ourselves that in a measure we have forgotten about that Infinite Force which controls the world, a Power far greater than we can. con ceive which permits us to enjoy the many privileges of life upon thisf ^ earth. But this power does exist and it ia only by getting closer to it, that we can hope to make any spiritual leadway.
