AT ST. MASK'S CHUSCH.

Thanksgiving Colors the Whole Human At 8L chureh a large congregation assembled yesterday morning. The vested choir rendered the music, and the canticles, hymns and anthem were 101 of Thanksgiving praise. The offering was takentfor the aid oI the needy in Seattle, through the agency of the Ladies' Belief Society. The rector, Bev. D.

C. Garrett, took for his text, "Offer unto God 1:14. This Terse, Mr. Garrett said, expressed in the simplest way the central thought for the day. Eren in David's time thanksgiving was understood in a sense not unlike the remembrance we keep today.

It is the common conception that Thanksgiving day originated with the Puritans, and in the precise ferm of the present observance this is perhaps true. About this season 259 years ago Massasoit and his ninety braves sat down toafestival dinner with the Pilgrim fathers. The Indians brought deer from the forests, while the paleface supplied corn and clams and fish. Ten years when starvation faced the intrepid settlers and the last loaf of bread in the colony was in the oven of Governor Bradford a good ship from Ireland bringing food supplies hove in sight, and the appointed day of faat was changed to a day of thanksgiving. But far back of the time of tue Puritaus we trace the principle of a thanksgiving day.

The observance is coeval with history. In almost every race of man a day akin to this has been kept at about this same time of the year. Such a festival i's tioned by Homer, and the Feast of the Tabernacle expressed the same idea. All this bears witness to an inborn sense of gratitude and to the unity of the human race. The appropriateness of the universal thank offering for the fruits of the earth is attested by the dependence of man upon the products of the soil.

Some economist has stated that if all the wealth in permanent form on the face of the earth was capable of being converted into the present vatue of food it would not fee equal to the annual produce of the world for three years. It is quite the custom on this day for the minister to sum up both the blessings and the calamities of the past year, but there is a growing reluctance to marking off the apparent good things from the bad in life. Both in national and individual affairs it is not wise to oatalogue events as emanating either from God or the evil agency of man. What appears a misfortune today may prove in after time to be a blessing. Mr.

Garrett applied this line of thought practically to all present, asking if it were not true that many seemingly disastrous events had turned out lor the nighest good in the long run. That which men ca'l evil in the cases of war and business failure in moments of great sorrow and iuent, is ofttimes demonstrated by after resuits to be negative good. If we remember that with God there is "no variableness, neither shadow of turning," that His providence is always tue tame in its love and companionship, we shall certainly be justified in oflering unto Him the praise of thanksgiving. And this gratitude must not be confined to one day out of the whole year. The real meaning of Thanksgiving day is to help us to be grateful all the days.

There is a otose connection between thank and think, and both are derived from the same root. Thankfulness is simply thoughifulness, and all ingratitude is the result of thoughtlessness. his is true for man in his relation to God and to his fellow men. The trouble with the selfish, ungrateful life is that the single self is too prominent iu the mind. In the home, in society and the great world of traffic the source of all forgetfillness of benefits is the spirit of selflove.

Think teas of self and more of others, less of your own wishes and more of God's will, and the offering of thanksgiving will color and transform the whole life. This unceasing giving of thought and thanks will make one high-miuded, generous, charitable, contented. OBLIGATION AM) PKOPHECY. Iter. Alfred In wood's View of the National Thanksgiving.

"National Thanksgiving a National Ob ligation and Prophecy," the subject. of Kev. Alfred In wood'a sermon at battery Mreet M. £. church.

His text was: give thanks unto the Lord, for He is giod; for His mercy endureth forever;" Psaims cxtriii: 1. The preacher said that a nation's custom is greater than a nation's words; "God" in the national life is more than in the nation's constitution. This is not only the most democratic, but is also the most theocratic country. In a far deeper than the old Hebrew could say, cart it be said of this iand: "He hath not dealt so with any people." Our history is revelation of God; at every crisis He ha made known. He is the undertone of our life.

His crown our every year; and gifts measure obligation. rests on goodness, and duty grows out of iove. Let me call your attention to uie grounds for thankfulness; and Disasters of the Year: Hard times are oiten God's pruning-knives, bringing greater national fruitfuiness; and rich fruitage is the thing desired. Great disasters are often God's startling rogatories in nature: Where are you going to? Whom are you depending on? General B.essings of tin ued Peace, Order and Growing Prosperity: 1 here were times during the past I year when these were greatly endangered, while in tuese very things the unseen hand lifted the uaiion to a higtier principle. Clashing individual interests are to oe tiled uiore and more by the common sense of the people.

With a largely increasing activity and power, she has gone forth conquering and has proven herself again a great national blessing. We have no state church, but we haft national SEATTLE POST-ENTELLIGENCEB. FRIDAY.

NOVEMBER 28, lswi whose inflaenoe is lifting the en the nat ion, and the prosperity of these is a cause for national thanksgiving. No man understands his time and nation without taking into large view the current religious life and progress of his people. "1 give thanks unto Jehovah, for He is goodand along all time is that goodness felt. Ingratitude is base; a thankless heart is unhnman and immoral. Notice again that all these blessings are prophecies.

His loving kindness is forever. Everything essential 'to our wall-being is on the up-grade. Pessimism is foolish and false. It seems to me that the trend of everything around us is toward a magnificent forward movement. God seems waiting breathlessly for the nick of time.

He never moves till everything is ready. Sin is so; but is it not so because of being driven more and more to bay The hemmed-in river makes the torrent's roar. Righteousness is growingly omnipotent, Tbe causes of thanksgiving are prophecies. God is to be more and more gracious. The great things of today are but beginnings.

God is opening His great mind, letting us share His thoughts and power, and granting us dominion. And what shall we do? Our best tnanksgiving is a practical one: Properly use these God-given olessings, and so help to bring about the fulfillment of their prophecies. OUR NATIONAL LIFE. God's Hand Manifest Through the Nation's History, Rev. Levi Gilbert preached at tike First M.

E. church yesterday morning from the text: xxx presence Shall go with thee and 1 shall give thee rest." His theme was, "God in the National Life." The preacher referred to the great sixe of this country, its prosperity and immense population and the absolute dependence of the people on God for the necessaries of life. It is not only in its material products that the country is blessed. It has produced some of the greatest names in all branches of science, literature and art. As orators there are Webster and Phillips; poets, Longfellow, Bryant, Lowell, Wbittier; writers, Irving, Hawthorne and Bancroft; statesmen, Clay, Calhoun, Lincoln; warriors.

Grant, Sherman, galaxy of names such as few other countries can boast of. He traced the history of the straggle for freedom. It was finally won, but at an enormous price. We are Iree born; our fathers were not We being accastomed to freedom of speech and press too often forget how these things came about. The tree of liberty grew not out of the scholar's study.

Front soil torn by cannon and drenched in blood it grew. In all our grand history there is to be seen the hand of God. The preacher went on to point out the manifestations of God in history, and said it was His purpose to perfect man, government being simply an agent of divine will It is in society that man is to work out the problem of his perfection. Aa a nation we are not yet out of the experimental stages. There is as yet no crowding, but immigration is too large, and much of it is composed not of the oppressed of other countries but the discontented.

We are not yet a homogeneous people, but we are working toward that stage. He referred to the characteristics of the American people; their energy and intellectual thought they would be invincible if only steadied by great moralties and spiritualities. We have much to thank God for.notwithstanding troubles that have disturbed the country Of late. rBEtBTTBRUN BEBYICKS. Benjamin Parsons reaches on Grateful Wilnsues.

Union services of the various Presbyterian congregations in this city were held yesterday morning at the Seoond Presbjterian church. Bev. Benjamin Parsons preached from the text; Psalms "The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, 1 have a goodly heritage." In the course of his remarks the preacher, to impress his ideas upon the congregation, introduced three speakers, an indulged "child of providence," an "American citizen" and an "American Christian." The first mentioned assnmes that our condition and prospects have been about all we can expect. Peace, plenty and prosperity are diffused among us as we have been blessed with universal peace. We find contentment everywhere, in the log hut as in the great mansion.

Thanksgiving is kept in thousands of homes. That it is not kept in all is because even today there are Hamans and Aliabs who, not content with what they have, wish to encroach on their neighbors' happiness. The American citizen thinks of his great country, with all its advantages, its its schools and ail those things which betoken a future grand beyond precedent in the history of countries. But this love of country is natural, and is found in the Greenlander and Icelander as well as in our own prosperous citizens. It is not boasting to say that God has given us a country which in extent, climate, resources is the choicest portion of this continent.

The drift of the surplus population of other countries to this is the most significant of the sit Mis of the times, and amounts to three-quarters of a million every year, ihe reason for this is found in the superlative attractions of this great land, which is a land of Beulah to them. As to the government, it is to that, under God, that our prosperity is largely due. Although it has defects, it is, on the whole, the best government on earth. The principles of justice, truth, patriotism among the people are the bulwarks of the republic. The American Christian rejoices in the fact that churches are organized and sustained throughout the land.

The rights of private interpretation of the Bible, according to the dictates of one's own conscience in the light each possesses, sets us far above people among, and over whom priestcraft exercises a dominant power. We are thankful tor this and other blessings. We are thankful for a manifestly Increasing desire on the part of all Christian denominations for a real, and, therefore, effective Christian unity. On Tnanksgiving day, especially, we should be thankful for our blessings of the past, and also make lesolutions for a better life in the future. DEtBKASIMU 111 Kill DEBT.

How the Day Was Observed at Madison Street Church. Thanksgiving was celebrated in Madison street M. E. church ail day long. In the morning there was divine service, at which the pastor, W.

H. Mahaihe officiated. He preached (rum the text, "Bless the Lord, my soul; and ail that is within me bless His holy Mr. Mahaffie referred to observances of Thanksgiving from 1621 to 1H)0, after which there was a lapse, and it was not until 1a62 that it became generally recognized as an annual festival. Thanksgiving, the preacher went on to say, is not a usw idea.

David, on several occasions, observed it, and his songs are full of a spirit of thankfulness. Although we have to submit at the present time to oppressions and difficulties aud turbances, we should be thankful lor the many biessinca that are showered upon us by a beneficent Creator. God is not responsible for these annoyances and ills which are wholly due to human causes. The preacher referred particularly to the temporal and spiritual blessings of life, and eon eluded by impressing upon his hearers the great obligations we are under to God. In the afternoon there was a reception and dinner was served.

In the evening there was a literary and musical entertainment followed by a sapper. THE LORD'S MERCT. Union Services of tho Congzwgatioswl Churches. The different churches of the Congregational persuasion held nnion services at Plymouth Congregational church yesterday morning. Rev.

He maintained, however, that these were more than offset by the increase in the prosperity of the country and the more general diffusion of knowledge and Christianity. He exhorted his hearers to remember that they should not offer np thanksgiving alone for temporal blessings, but also for their spiritual blessings. THANKFUL Y.

They EnJojr Themselves With Turkey and Sweetmeats. Forty-foqr happy little boys and girls sat down to a superb Thanksgiving dinner at tbe Orphans' Home yesterday. They fairly revelled in turkey. Such turkey, too. It is safe to say that in no home in the city were fatter or more tender birds served with cranberry sauce.

This necessary feature of the day's repast had been furnished by tbe police department, whose members are acknowledged judges of the good things of this life. They did not go half way in their gift, either, for the birds were sent ready-dressed and cooked, so that nothing remained to do at the Home but to cut and carve for the plates of the little ones. And it was not only in this part of the dinner that the children had been amply provided for. A prodigious quantity of pies and cakes and sweetmeats of every description had been contributed by the pupils of the public schools along with other things, such as clothing, shoes and underwear. An immense contingent the school children from Mercer street school, South and Central schools arrived at the Home about 3:30 on Wednesday afternoon carrying their offerings, wbich tbey deposited in the dining-room, almost tilling that capacious chamber.

Never before had so many children congregated in the Home, and for the space of an hour place was enlivened with their presence and resounded with their happy laughter. And before they left they took good care to carry the good things tbey had brought iuto the laruer and closets, and behaved altogether, as the matron said, a beautiful, kind way that did one's heart good to see." It was 1 o'clock when dinner began. The turkeys were carved and a huge plateful, with cranberry sauce galore, was laid in each little urchin's place. Then when this was accomplished the dinner bell rang, and first the sixteen girls tiled in and their seats, and then the twenty-eight boys took their seats, and when grace had been said all set to with a will, and the way that turkey disappeared was marvellous to benold. And alter the turkey came the pies and cakes, and they were hugely enjoyed.

Surely there never was such a banquet served to them before. It mattered little that some of the tittle eyes were larger than the little stomachs. The remembrance of that feast will linger for many a long day with the orphans at the Home. EXCITINO POOruALL. The Tacoma Boys Beat the Uotne Team at Madiaon The bright sunshine of Indian summer drew out 300 lovers of sport to the Madison street ball park yesterday to see the Seattle and Tacoma football teams struggle for supremacy.

It was a good-natured crowd, and cheered the players lustily as they plowed about through the mud. The Tacouias put in the held a team that has beeu greatly strengthened since the last match between the two clubs, and their play showed the good results of practice and team work. Their all-round play was good, their ruthing and tackiing being especially strong. Tue Seatties were weakened by the absence of their captain, Robert Work, who is laid up with a crippled knee, and their play was devoid of team work. Their backs, half-backs and goals put up a good defensive game, but the forwards showed a 1 ick of concerted action, and fought shy of Tacuma's rushes.

At 2:45 the Tacomas kicked off and immediately began to rush matters. The ball waa carried by the center right up to the Seattle goal, where Darling shot a pretty goal in toe short time of three minutes. During the next few minutes Tacoma had all the best of it and kept the ball close up to Seattle's goal, and at the end of fifteen minutes' play scored her second goal by the aid of tne right wing. The work now began to grow hut, mostly in fayor of Tacoma, but with an occasional rally by Seattle. Finally, after half an hour's play, Seattles carried the ball up to the Tacoma goal, but with bad shooting put it past.

Tacoma's superior play again began to assert itself, and her third goal was scored in forty miuutea. A few minutes later the Tacomas kicked their fourth goal aith five minutes of the first half to spare, during which time nothing was accomplished Tacoma 4, Seattle 0. In the second half Seattle's play showed considerable improvement, anil honors were evenly divided. The Tacomas, however, secure in their lead of four goals, settled down into defensive tactics, aad directed most of their attention simply to keep their opponents from kicking a goal. At one time tne home team's chances of scoring looked bright, but fate seemed to have destined them for a shut-oat.

After soma neat passing the ball was worked up close to tha Tacoma goal, and a well-directed kick sent it spuming between tha poaia. Unfortunately it rose a few inches too high, struck the bar and bounded over the goal. tbe rest of the game play dragged somewhat, with only spasmodic periods of hot work, neither side winning any great honors. When the whistle blew at the end of the second half neither team had scored. The summery: wing, Darling aad Carrie; center, Bowmaa aad Hook; left wiag, Hamilton and K.

Few of tbentf certainly have little for which to be thankful, and more would greet death with indifference, but for once they cast aside gloomy thoughts andjseemed to thoroughly enjoy themselves. In the city jail, where are confined the lesser criminals, the prisoners had a high old time ad day. When Jailer Bogart went down to the jail in the morning the prisoners were waiting for him with expectant looks, and one old gray-haired sinner, sheriff of the kangaroo court, greeted him with, "Hi, there, Roxy, what are you goia' to give us for our dinner "We're going to treat you good," was the response. "All you fellows who didn't 'strike' on the chain gang will get chicken pot pie, soup, custard pie, potatoes, beans and coffee, and all the apples you can stow away." "What are you goin' to give us fellersT We're gettin' dead tired of bread and water." chimed in John Duffy, leader of the rebellious thirty of the chain-gang. "Get?" repeated the jailer as he ordered the men about preparatory to making the morning sweep.

"You ought to be glad you're alive You will get a regular dinner, with no frills on it Just plain boiled meat, beans, coffee, potatoes and bread." "We ain't a-kicking, are we fellers remarked Daffy to his hungry companions. "Now, you bst we ain't," was the hearty rejoinder. "Hi say, old man!" shouted out en English sailor, up for fighting, as Bogart started away, "be sure and put in plenty of the blarsted pork and beans, for we're bloom in' hungry." He was promised that he would have all he could eat. In the county jail those imprisoned on more serious charges were not so jovial, though all appeared to be haring a good time. The sheriff provided them with a substantial dinner, and did not forget a few extras.

Promptly at the hour of 4 the jaii door flew open, and a half dozen trusties dragged an immense covered basket iuto the main corridor. The prisoners in the rows of celis peered through the iron gratings and awaited results. As soon as the white covering on the basket was removed a savory odor of steaming coffee mounted upward. "Hey there, Jamesy," yelled a ''trusty," who was in a position to see the contents, to his companion in a cell further down the corridor, "it's coffee we've got, aad I'll eat a goat if here ain't a pot of mighty fine tea. Pies; holy Moees! Mashed potatoes for a regiment 1 Aye, here we come, roast pork, roast beef, and I'll be blowed if it ain't real, genuine chicken gravy.

HI there, Jimmy, take that bread off there. What's this in the bottom? It is something square and hard. Take off that cover. A box of apples "Good-by, Pat;" yelled another "trusty" as Jailer Parraher started to lock up. "Tell the sheriff he's a Jim dandy, and if we hain't locked up at the next election we'll vote for him for president." The eatables were then divided around, and all fell to.

Freiderichs, tbe murderer, forgot his troubles and put on a contented look. He seemed to enjoy himself immensely, for he talked and joked with the other prisoners through the bars of his cell and ate his dinner with relish. Even Charles R. Hammond, the stylish though iniamous Englishman, of Cleveland street, London, notoriety, locked up on a charge of grand larceny, ate heartily and joked and chatted with murderers, burgiars and highwaymen, as if he was in his element. Thanksgiving day at the jail will be long lemembered by the prisoners.

"Our auditorium, which by the infelicitous choice of a word was called a will by no means be what the improper term has led a great many to imagine it It will be a first-class place of amusement, where a great variety of entertainments will ce presented to the spectator. It will be especially a resort for the young folks. Our Portland house, conducted on a plan similar to that on which this will be run, has become a home word among the young people of that city, and I anticipate a like success in Seattle. December 1, Monday evening, is fixed for the opening. "On Saturday, at 2 o'clock in the afternoon ami at 8 in the evening, the choice seats for the opening night will be sold at auction.

The public Kill thus be enabled to secure seats at their own price. The auction will be held in the auditonam of the theater, corner Third and Madison streets." TWO STEAMfcBS COLLIDE. The Greyhound and the Merwin Come Together Daring a Fox. Passengers on the steamers Greyhound and Merwin received a scare and shaking up yesterday when in midstream between tbis city and Tacoma, that made them feel for a time that they were to meet with watery graves. It was about noon, and the fog was that dense and thick that slices of it would make good gang planks.

The Merwin was headed up stream, and the Oreyhound had her stem pointed for tie. and those who were on the two boats are inclined to the belief that the pilot of the Greyhound was responsible for the collision. They say that the pilot of the Merwin was apprised of the approach of the Greyhound by hearing the exhaust of the steam from her machinery, and that he blew the whistle and rang for the stoppage of the engines load enough for the pilot of the approaching boat to hear. The Merwin was slowed up, but it appears that the Greyhound's crew failed to heed the alarm and bumped into the Merwin, crushing two or three fenders to pieces, and knocking a hole in the pilot house and cabin. Fortunately no one was injured, though several ladies who were seated in the oabin of the Merwin were thrown violently from tneir chairs to the floor.

After an exchange of nantical courtesies from the crews of the respective boats they continued on their journey. A Mammoth Carrot. Yesterday Mr. W. Weedin, of Plainney P.
