Chicago. Nov. 23. —The similarities and the contrast* of our approaching anniversary with that celebrated by the pilgrim fathers of the seventeenth century are vividly sketched in this sermon by Rev. Frank I)e Witt Tal- mage on the text Psalm c, 4, “He thank ful unto him.” Thanksgiving day of 1020 is our theme today. Plymouth rock is the pulpit. The mighty ^rees of the American for ests are the massive pillars of the sanc tuary. Our dome is the blue skies of the heavens. The sunshine of the “In dian summer,” which derived its name from the time of Massasoit’s visit to the Plymouth colony to be the pilgrims’ guest on their first Thanksgiving day, shall be our illumination. The waves of the fathomless deep, with their white fingers of foam playing upon the many keys of projecting rock, shall lead in our singing. The bold, bluff hillsides overlooking the harbor of Plymouth shall be our auditorium. And we shall gather within these four walls as wor shipers the stern faced, iroq muscled ami godly voyagers of the little sailing ship Mayllower, whose sacrifices made the pilgrims’ first Thanksgiving day a possibility. Surely, if Governor Rrud- 1’ord and Elder P.rowster and Captain Miles Standish and Edward Winslow and Isaac Allerton and John Aldeu and that little band of twoscore and ten men and women and children had anything to be thankful for 2N1 years ago we Americans now living ought to welcome the Thanksgiving day of 15)02 with open arms. After the example of our noble ancestors, whose names have made the Plymouth colony immortal, we should never cease to thank God for the goodnesses and the mercies he lias showered upon us and our land during the past twelvemonths. The proclamation which President Theodore Roosevelt sent forth a few days ago, appointing the day when the autumnal queen of American festivals shall summon all people to worship at the sacred altars of church and home, was very siulilar in spirit to the verbal proclamation which Governor Brad ford gave to the pilgrim fathers and mothers in the autumn of 1021. The first Thanksgiving day was really a harvest home festival. On that mem orable morning the new governor—for John Carver, the first governor, had lately died - personally led his people and guests into the house of worship, where a religious service was held. There the psalms were sung. There the prayers were offered. There Elder William Brewster thanked God that he who had fed the flying birds and had clothed with fur the wild beasts of the forests had fed and clothed and protected them. Then the rest of the day was spent as a home day, as a day of feasting and frolic and fun. Let me read to you the account which Edward Winslow, the historian of the famous colony and one of the participants, wrote in reference to that day: “Our harvest being gotten in, our governor, William Bradford, sent four men on fowling, so that we might re joice after a special manner, after we had gathered the fruits of our labors. At which time, among other recrea tions, we exercised our arms, many of the Indians coming among us, among the rest their greatest king, Massasoit, with some ninety men, who for three days we entertained and feasted. And they went out and killed five deer, which they brought to the plantation and bestowed upon our governor and upon Captain Miles Standish and oth ers. And although It be not always so plentiful as it was at this time with us, yet by the* goodness of God we are so far from want that we often wish you partakers of our plenty.” The Flr*< Thankmcivinic. Yes, even among all their sorrows and troubles the pilgrim fathers had many, many blessings surrounding them on that first Thanksgiving day. And it Is to catalogue some of their ancient blessings, as well as some of the multitudinous blessings of our own time, that I preach tills sermon. The pilgrim fathers rejoiced in re ligious liberty. They rejoiced that they could not only worship Christ in their )wu way and according to their own belief, but also because as Congrega- tioualists they could select their own pastors and elders and deacons and have their own kind of church gov ernment. It was in order to win this religious liberty that the little baud of pilgrims first endured the persecutions in the village of Scrooby, England. It was to win this kind of religious lib erty that in 1(305) they emigrated from the English shores and became exiles in Amsterdam. It was in order to win this religious liberty that the little band of pilgrims in 1(510 broke away from Amsterdam and, under their jjas- tor, the famous John Robinson, went to Leyden, and it was in order to win this religious liberty that the immortal 102 passengers of the Mayflower final ly crossed the seas and emigrated to a new and unknown world. Religious liberty means more than life and com fort and money to strong, consecrated gieu. It means their combined tern- |M»ral and spiritual existence. It means so much that, though one third of that memorable pilgrim band died the first month after they had landed upon the American shores and though all at one time were helpless on account of sick 1.ess except seven men and women, yet when the time came for the sailing of the Mayflower back to England not one of the survivors would return to their old home, even though Governor John Carver and the company were ready to let any one go who would. The spirit which hnl the descendants of the pilgrim fathers a century and a half later to shed their blood at Con cord and Lexington and Bunker Hill to prove that “taxation without repre sentation was wrong and must not ex ist” was that same spirit which made the pilgrim fathers on America’s first Thanksgiving day rejoice in religious liberty. They thanked God for religious liberty, even though the dead sleeping upon Burial hill outnumbered the liv ing. They thanked God for religious liberty, even though, to protect it, they had to go to church armed. While the main Congregation prayed with their eyes shut, their sentinels on guard had to pray with their keen, vigilant eyes wide open. So next Thursday, fellow countrymen, let us thank God for re ligious liberty. Let us (bank God that when we arise in the morning we can gather our lit tle children about the family altar and have morning prayers without having any Lord Claverhouse pounding upon our door or without hearing the tramp of any “Bloody” McKenzie’s hirelings ready to lead us out to execution. When 10 o’clock comes next Thursday morning and we hear the bells of God’s sanctuary tolling, let us be Ihhnkful that we do not have to worship our Heavenly Fatiier in secret, as the early Christians used to do in the dark cata combs of ancient Rome or as the pil grims before their embarkation secret ly did it in the stable of the Scrooby manor house. When next Thursday we sit down to a Thanksgiving dinner and say grtice, our children and loved ones being gathered about the diniiig room table, groaning under the weight of the best viands the markets afford, may we thank God that that dinner will not be stopped on account of that grace. O religious liberty, thou ait not always honored in this twentieth century, for the living have never seen the dagger of bigotry driven into thy rich, warm,* throbbing heart! O re ligious liberty, before whose shrines Cromwell's Ironside* made the earth tremble and at whose jdtars the cove nanters and the pilgrims were ready to sacrifice their lives, may we be ready to rapturously greet thee next Thurs day morning and to reverently touch the pure white hem of thy garment with Die holykissof thankful lips! It was for this religious liberty that the pilgrim fathers thanked God in 1021. It is for religious liberty that we, their children, ought to welcome the au tumnal queen of American festivals. • With humljle prayer and fasting In every *trait and grief They sought the Everlasting And found a sure relief. Their covenant-God o’ershadowed them, Their shield from every foe. And gave them here a dwelling place Two hundred years ago. The Lennon of (lie Pllgrl mn. My friend, there ought to be a lesson for you In the pilgrim fathers’ grati tude to God for the supplying of their necessary temporal wants. You may not be a millionaire. You may not have a big bank account nor enough money to keep you in ease if you ceased to work; but, like the pilgrim fathers of old, on this Thanksgiving day of 1!H)2 you can thank God that you have a home in which to live, no matter how humble that home may be. You can thank God that you have enough clothes to keep you warm and enough good, plain, wholesome food to eat. Should your table lie simply spread you can thank God with the same humble, beautiful Christian spir it with which Elder William Brewster of Plymouth colony gave thanks. Al though the bread supply and the coffee nd tea supply and nearly all other supplies for months had failed, and he and his family for weeks at a lime were compelled to live upon fish alone, yet William Brewster used to gather his children about his table and utter devout grace. With nothing but lams and oysters for breakfast, din uer and tea month in and month out, William Brewster used to thank God "that they were permitted to enjoy the abundance of the sea and the treasures hid in the sand.” But, although a few of us may thank God merely for the bare necessaries, most of us can thank him next Thurs day morning for the luxuries as well. Our national prosperity was never as great as today. If we were to cross the seas and recount to the inhabitants of any other land all the temporal blessings with which we are surround ed, those foreign inhabitants would not believe the Utopian stories we would tell them. They would be as skeptical about our Munchausen-like tales as the relatives of one of Dr. William S. Breckinridge’s parishioners were sup posed to be. It was during a time of groat plenty in Kentucky. Food at that time was so abundant as to be practically without value. But one day this parishioner came to Dr. Breckinridge and asked him to write to his family in Ireland. Among other things he said, “Tell them I have meat twice a week, with out fail.” "Why, Patrick,” said Dr. Breckinridge, “you know that is not ♦ he full truth. You know you can have and do have meat every meal of • very day Instead of only J wo times a ,’eek.” “I know that, your honor,” is the prompt reply, “but if I told y old father and mother, who rarely '• ve meal in Ireland more than once u week, that meat was so plentiful In America that I could have It twenty- one times a week they would not be lieve another word that I might evci tay.” Next Thursday, like the pilgrim fathers, all cun thank God for the ban iiccos-sarics of life. On that day, like Dr. Breckinridge's parishioner, nearly all of us cun thank God for the lux uries hIno as well as the necesaarles We can thnnk God that under the shadow of the American eagle’s wings there are this year more refined and cultivated homes, mere abundant t bles, more beautiful wardrobes, mor well selected libraries, with their food for the mind, more piauoa and musical instruments, more pictures uinm the walls and more of everything that goes to make tempore 1 life happy than ever greeted any Th..nksgjving day before. Thanksgiving day is a harvest day—a day for recounting your temporal as well as your spiritual blessings. It is a time for thanking God for a full cup i>oard as well as for a church altar. The Freedom From Sin. The pilgrim fathers rejoiced because they had removed their children from the sinful temptations of a foreign and. They themselves were men and women of sterling and unimpeachable Integrity. They were just as willing to lay down their lives as martyrs for Jesus Christ, in Leyden in 1(520, as were their three fellow townsmen, Hen ry Barrows, John Greenwood and John I’enry, who, in 155)3, laid down their lives in England; but, though the pil grim fathers might be ready to die for Clnist, their undeveloped children, on account protKibly of the influence of their foreign surroundings, were not al ways of the same mind. Their sons and daughters sometimes drifted away from the principles of their fathers. They not only fell into the sinful habits of tliis European city, but they married the sons and the daughters of the for eigners. They enlisted in the foreign navies and went forth as free lances to the foreign‘wars, and it was in order to save their own flesh and b(pod from the sinful contact of the "nncircum- cised Philistines,” as well as for reli- rjous liberty, that the pilgrim fathers turned their backs upon the land of their adoption and the homes of their friends. Sliiltl we not. then, on this Thanksgiving day of 11)02 lie thankful that we can rear our children in a land whose silver dollar is stamped with the suggestive motto, “In God We Trust?” Taking our little children’s aces between our two bands and look ing lovingly and earnestly into the depths of their pure eyes, can we not be thankful Dint both we and they are living in Christian communities where human affections are held sacred and where puritj is not an oddity and prac tically monopolized, as of old, by a few vestal virgins consecrated to life long service in a heathen temple? Can we not thank God that our children are not breathing the morally depraved at mosphere of some less fortunate land whose daughters are sold like chattels, never even seeing nuptial day, and where a wife is regarded as disgracing family when she becomes Die mother of a daughter instead of a sou? We place a priceless value upon the physical lives of our children. Khali we not also place a priceless value upon their spiritual welfare? How much we value them few of us realize until we are brought face to face with the sore trial of parting from them. I used to consider myself a poor man financial ly until a few year; ago. I never do so now after the following experience: 1 had been visiting my mother in the east and was returning with my wife and 1 little daughter to my Pittsburg home. Being very tired from overwork, 1 lay down in the curs to sleep. Meanwhile my little baby daughter began to smile 1 and nod her head at a stern faced man reading across the aisle. Kin; held out her hands for him to take her. After , awhile his face lighted up with an an swering smile. He took the baby on his lap and played with her hour after hour. As we neared the Smoky City .this stern faced man came to me and said: “Young man, I do not know who you are, hut here is my card. I am one of the wealthiest men in Milwaukee. I have everything that money can buy, but I have a home without any chil dren. Young man, you can thank God that you have a family. And if you are willing to give me this baby and let me adopt her I will give you a cer- tified check for $50,000, and she shall be my daughter and inherit all that I have.” Of course I refused the offer. I told tha' man there was not enough money in all the treasury of the United States to buy my flesh and blood, and, though you may laugli when I talk about my $5o.<M<) baby, yet I am not putting any higher valuation ui»on the physical lives of any one of my chil dren than every father sitting before me today would upon bis. If we par ents thus place so high our physical valuation of our children, shall we not also place just as high the spiritual val uation? Like the pilgrim fathers of old, shall we not rejoice this coming Thanks giving day because our children are not only living in Christian homes, but also in Christian neighborhoods and under the shadow of the spires of Christian churches? Shall we not re joice because on account of being born in a Christian land they may the more easily learn to love Christ? Shall we not rejoice that on account of their spiritual advantages after their life’s work is done they will associate with us in the great harvest home, where an eternal Thanksgiving day shall be spent in the green pastures and by the still waters of heaven? * Tbe Hope of Meetlna; Loved One*. The pilgrim fathers rejoiced in the hope that they should soon be reunited with their loved ones who were left behind in Leyden. The whole com munity of pilgrims which iikJtllO set tled in I.ieyden did not cross The Atlan tic In 1020, as many people suppose. No. Only a small part—120 men, wom en and children—came first. The vast majority of that community remained behind. And so these American pil grims on Plymouth’s first Thanksgiv ing'day were living In the hope that John Robinson and the absent mem bers of his spiritual flock would soon be by their side. They did not then know that death would flrat claim their beloved pastor and that bis bones would be burled In the little church yard which bis preaching has made world famous and which la today the Mecca of many a pilgrim. They did not realize that moat of their earthly friends would never meet beside the waters of the new world. But they d‘ 1 know, and they rejoiced In Die k owl dge, that, whether at the foot of I ’lymouth ro k or at Die foot of Die great white throne of God. they would L" et again. And if Di y did not me, t aguui until they were reunited in that better land, then they would there meet to part no more. M friends, cannot we rejoice in the hope that we are some day going to Bieti our redeemed loved ones? Can we rot rejoice that when we meet them we shall part no more? Thanks giving day without this blessed belief would be to us a meaningless festival and would be robbed of its ehiefest joy. The young people may look for ward gladly to the autumnal queen of Ameriean festivals as a holiday % from school, a day for a football match, a day when they can o; t a big turkey dinner, but most of us will tlhuk* of r J hr.nl:sgiving dinner as a day for va cant chairs—a day, when we would he willing to give all we owned if we could only bring back some who have forever gone from our side. But with the comfort of the blessed gospel how our sorrows can be turned to Joy! Mother, father, brother, sister, husband, wife and child, shall we never, never meet you again? “Yes, yes!” answer the pilgrim fathers. "By the sacred book which we read tin* morning of the bright autumnal day when we celebrated Plymouth’s first Thanksgiving day we can prove it. By the hope’ with whieh we parted from our dear ones as we set sail from Holland’s shores we would tell thee, troubled hearts of 1902, we shall all. yea all, meet again.” Can we prove that we shall all meet our loved ones in heaven by a better way than the source from which the pilgrim fathers gathered their hope of a final reunion with their absent kin dred? Upon the hold, bluff heights overlooking Plymouth harbor Amer ican patriotism has erected a colossal statue commemorative of the heroic deeds of these first great ancestors. At Die base of the pedestal rest four figures. These symbolize freedom and education and law and morality. But these four figures, though beautiful in themselves, are all sitting at the feet of a gigantic statue called Faith. There Faith stands in midwinter, not only overlooking Die surging, angry waters of the mighty deep, but also the hal lowed graves of the mighty men whose principles laid the foundation of Dds nation. There the pilgrims’ faith stands, with the opened Bible In one hand and with the other hand pointing upward to where the spirits of the mighty and the redeemed pilgrim fa thers have passed to their reward. So the foot of that mighty statue of Faith with open Bible may we all re joice* in the confident assurance that our Thanksgiving chairs at the family gathering shall not always remain va cant that we shall all he together In the heavenly reunion. ThankMirlvInic u Home Day. But while studying the history of Plymouth’s first Thanksgiving day we must remember that it was not only a day for thanksgiving to God, but also a day made memorable by home enjoy ments. The pilgrim fathers opened the day with prayer. They also felt they did not desecrate It when they gath ered about the festal board and laugh ed and joked as well us talked about the great themes of the gospel while they sat at dinner. As far as possible all our people should make next Thanksgiving day a home day as well as a church day, and, as the president of the United States by his Thanksgiv ing proclamation has signed the death warrants for all the biggest and the fattest turkeys the barnyards have been able to produce in the past sum mer, let grandfather and grandmother and all the children and the grandchil dren meet again in the old homestead. It will not be very long before such gatherings will be an impossibility. In a few years the chief magnets that now draw the children together at Thanksgiving will be gone. Then, as you meet about the great, big roasted turkey, which is the symbol of a Thanksgiving feast, 1 not only want you to cut the best and the tenderest slices for your mother and father and for your wife, hut I also want you to he sure not to forget to cut off a large part of that turkey for the poor. There will be many people next Thursday morning who will have nothing to eat except the plainest kind of food unless the Christian people, out of their abun dance, are ready to help them. Then next Thanksgiving day after you have helped everybody all round and after you have thanked God for all your many blessings, and after you have also worshiped in God’s sanctu ary, in spirit as your pastor, and as a privileged guest, I want to come into your dining room. And, though you may give different parts of the turkey to the different members of your fam ily, I want you to save one part for me. I want you to save for me the "wish- bone,” and as I In spirit come among you there I want you to take hold of one side of that wishbone and let me take hold of the other. Then as I pull and break the wishbone and should I get the larger side I want you to let me 1 ::«ke this wish: “May the many blessings which God has showered upon you during the last twelve months soften your heart In gratitude to him. May the vacant chairs in your dining room teach you that your eartldy time is to he very short Therefore, may you hero and now resolve to love your Master us you have never done before. And In the earthly years that are left to you may you he as faithful In your trust to your home, your wife, your children and to the great world at large ua were the pilgrim fathers to the principles which they established. And may the sweet and holy faith of Plymouth's first Thanksgiving day rest gnd abide with you forever.” May God bless us this morning as we use the tear stained and blood reddened rock of Plymouth for a pulpit. {CopyrlKbt, 1W2 liy Louis Kiopsoh ] < Sheriff's Sale.
