Weloomo, '1 hanksgiving day! What

Ask tbo villagers whoso song of praiso 1

Through tho organ pipos lot thero oowo I

For tro years and a half this nation I
has been oclobratiog tho triumph of

wo colcbrato tho victories of tho plow, 1
the hamrnor and tho pod; for nothing
was dono at Santiago or Manila that

farmer's field and mcohanio's shop and

a hutdred miloa from their own door- <

and literary men, and got your dues as <
far as I oan pay them. I
Thiugs havo marvolously ohanged. 1
Times was when tho stern cdiot of i
government forbado religious assom- <
blagos. Those who dared to bo po un- ^
loyal to their king as to aoknowlcdgo t
loyalty to tho lloadoftho Univorso t
were punished. Churohos awfully silent i
in worship suddenly heard their doors j
swung open and down upon tho church I
aislo a sooro of muskots thumped as tho
loadors bado them ''Ground araii!" i
This custom of having tho fathors. tho i
husbands, tho sons and brothora at tho i
entrance of tho pow is a oustom which <
oarno down from olden time, whon it
was absolutely neoossary that tho
father or brothor flhould sit at tho end i
of tho ohuroh pow fully armod to do- 1
fond the holplifis portion of tho family,
lfut dow, how ohanged! Sovcro penalties
aro threatened against any ono who i
shall interrupt religious services, and
annually, at tho oommand of tho highest
ofiioial in tho United Statos, wo
gather together for thanksgiving and
holy worship. Today I would Btir your
souls to joyful tharkseiving whilo I
speak of ttio m< roios of God and in un
conventional way recount tho conquests
of tho plow, tho hammer and tho pen.
Most of imploments of husbandry
havo boon supersodod by modern iuvoutions,
but tho plow ban novor lost
its roign. It has furrowed its way
through all tho agos. Its vio;ories havo
been woved by tho lailey of Palestine,
tho whoat of Persia, tho lUx of Gor |
many, tho rioo stalks of China, tho rich
grasses of Italy. It has turned up tho i
mammoth of Siberia, tho miastodon of
Egypt and tho pino groves of Thossaly.
Its iron foot hath marohod whoro Moses i
wroto and Homer sang and Aristotle
taught and Alox&ndcr mounted his war i
ohargor. It hath wrung its ooltcr on i
Norwegian wilds and ripped out tho <
BtumpH oi tno Amonoan foroat, pushing i
its way through tho savannas of tho >
Carolinas and trembling in tho grasp of <
tho Now natnpahiro voomaury. Amori- 1
oan civilization hath kept atopB with <
tho rattlo of its olovisoa, and on its i
bram hath riddon thrift and national ?
plenty. f
I do not wonder that tho Japaucao s
and tho Chineao and tho Phoenicians <
bo particularly extolled huabandry or >
that Cinoinnatua went from tho oonaul- 1
ship to tho plow or that Noath waa a l
farmer hoforo ho booamo a shipbuilder 1
or that Eliaha was in tho Hold plowing
with twolvo yoko of oxon when tho c
mantlo foil on him or that tho Egyp- j
tiana in thoir paganism worshiped tho a
ox a tillor of thoil lands.

Although moot of us havo nothing c
dircotly to do with tho tillago of tho
soil, yot in all our oooupationB wc fool
tho effect of successful or blighted in* J
dustry. We must, in all our oooupa- '
tions, rejoioo over tho victories of tho 1
plow today. Tho earth was onoe ours- 8
cd for man's sake, and oooasionaly tho ?
Boil revongoB itself on us by refusing a '
bountiful harvest. 1 supposo that but 8
for sin tho earth would bo produoing

hardly a hillook between the forostfl of j
Maine and the legions of Florida, bo* '
tweon the peaoh orchards of Now Jor- *
soy and the pines of Orogon that has 8
not sometime shown its natural and to* v
tal depravity. Tho thorn and thistlo 1
seem to have usurped the soil, and J
nothing but the rebellion of the plow ^
oan uproot tho evil supremaoy. But
Qod is good. Now, i if one of our sea- .J

L oooie next to speak of tho conquests
cf tlio Amouoau hammer. Its iron arm
has fought its way down lrom tho boiinciog
to tho j roaont. Under its
iwirg the oily of K looh rose and tho
foundry of Tubal Cain resounded and
Iho ark floated on tho dolugo. At its
:lang anoiont temples spread thoir
cunguifioonoo aud chariots rushed out
it lor tho battle. Its iron list smote
iho matblo of Pares, and it roso in
loulptured Minorvaa and Btruok tho
Pontoliean miaou until from them a
Parthenon was reared whiter than a
palaoo of ioo and puio as an angoPe
Jream. Damascus and .Jerusalem ana
Porno and Vouioo sod Paris and L ;n
ion and Philadelphia ar.d New York
and Washington are but tho long pro
Lractod oohoes of tho hammer. Under
iho hammer everywhere dwellings havo
gono up, ornato and luxurious, fcdohool
houses, lyooums. hospitals and asylums
have added additional gh ry to the enterprise
as well as tho tuned, onoo of
tho American peoplo. Vad public
works bavo boon ooustruoted, bridgos
havo boon built ovor rivers and tun

churohos ol ma'ohlcss beauty have gone
up for hiui who bad not whoio to lay

that beoauso Christ was born in a manger

Railroads of fabulous length bavo
