The Union Thanksgiving services held yesterday morning at the First Presbyterian Church was a grand success and was largely attended.

Dr. II. I). Jenkins had charge of tho services and he arranged a most enjoyable pro- gramme for the occasion. Tlio services opened with a voluntary of tho familiar air of Sullivan's Lost Chord arranged as a quartette of string instruments and organ, the part usually taken by tho human voice being executed by Mr.

Weaver upon the cornet with marked tenderness and expression, the organ playing with all tlio tone coloring, and varied instrumental effects of anD orchestra. Thomas' To Deum was next rendered by tho full choir with a wealth of voice that proved the selection a most fitting one for tho day; the rise and swell of tho voices combined with the organ in the fortissimo passages was grand, and the solo parts were well rendered by Messrs. John Black andF. A. Rabo.

A particularly pleasing duet of the words "Make them to be numbered with they saints," was very nicely rendered by tlie Misses Smythe and Rockey. The first portion of the sentence that was the third selection of the pro- gramme was sung as a quartette by the Misses Polk and Rockey, and Messrs. Bidwell and Black accompanied by the violin, and the full choir in tlio latter portion of the selection. The anthem, come let us worship," by Himmel, was sung by the choir, Miss Helen Polk singing tho soprano solo with a delicacy of shading and sweetness of voice that left a good impression upon the listeners. The hymn, "Joy to the World," was sung by the congregation of people who sang heartily, producing a volume of sound that was noble and grand.

Messrs. John Burroll, Chas. Best and W. S. Benson played a selection from Gounod's Communion Service, upon string instruments in a manner that showed diligent practice.

Concone's Gloria inExcelsis, prominent in beautiful vocal effects, was next giv- ee by the choir, Miss Rockey and Miss Polk singing tho beautiful duet portion with an appreciation of devotional sentiment that was admirable. In the soprano solo Miss Polk produced a profound by the pathos with which she rendered that beautiful selection, and the baritone solo was excellently rendered by Mr. John Black. RKV. W.

Tho-word "called" conveys tiie ideji of Illness or design as if we read: You were designed to be free and have been graciously emancipated from iniquity for the purpose of righteousneess. Liberty is the power one has to do or forbear any particular action, tlie absence of constraint or compulsion. Liberty implies previous impediment or custody which freedom refers more especially to the simple, spontaneous exercise of our rightful powers. We have the liberty to speak with freedom.

What then is the grace to which we have been called? It is the emancipation of the soul through the knowledge ot the truth. Men wear their fetter in their souls. The emancipated heart of reason is truth's consecrated residence, the seat impregnable of liberty and peace. God does not govern men by rules. "We are called unto liberty." We have here not a rule, but a principle.

Do as you chose, provided you do nothing to repress or limit your better nature and tlie power of the Holy Spirit within you. "The law of the Spirit of life Christ Jesus" hath made you free from the law of sin and death. The Spirit of life within becomes a law unto itself. Tho perfect law of rule by which tho Supreme works His will. "The end of tho commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned." "Love never faileth," neglects no injunction, forgets no prohibition, "works no ill to our neighbor." Here is the security of life, liberty and tho pursuit of happiness.

There is no harmony or compromise of righteousness with sin, virtue with vice, or liberty with license. These are contrary one to tho other and mutually exclusive. All blessings are stored and protected in the good of liberty. He who loves that should be wise and virtuous, patriotic and brave. Liberty has its foes and its temptations.

''Use not your freedom for an occasion to the flesh." Our people are characterised by a living practical faith in the fatherhood of God, tho brother of man and the wholesome dignity of labor, three strong planks in the platform of liberty. IlKV.

The people of Winslow are noted for their hospitality and they have made grand preparations for this important event in the history of their town. Quietly Married. It will be quite surprise to the many Freeport friends of Miss Sadie Graham to learn that she was married yesterday at Hock City. Tho JOURNAL stated the other day that the event would take place soon, but no one suspected that the date was so near at hand.

At tho residence of Mr. John Graham in Rock City, Thursday afternoon at 4 o'clock Miss Sadie was quietly wed to Mr. Charles Carnalix, a prominent young man of Hock Run Township. Rov.Tuni' performed tho ceremony. The affair was a very quiet one none being present but the immediate relatives of the contracting parties.

The happy coupht will go to housekeeping at once at the comfortable home of the groom The bride and groom have known each other from childhood ami the match is considered by all their friends as an exceedingly happy one. Mrs. Carnalix has made her home in Freeport for a number of years and during that time has made many warm friends here who ad- inire the lady for her very good qualities and rare accomplishments. Mr. Carnafix is well known in many parts of Stephensen County, as a high-minded upright gentleman who is worthy of the young lady he has chosen as his companion through life.

The JOURNAL with a host of good friends unite in extending congratulations. nmdo peace In all Iliy liimlers." I'fUlllllS cxlvil are bore to-day as Christian people in God's house, to acknowledge Him as tho author and giver of pur personal, family, and national blessings, and to publicly, in tho presence of His people, tender our unfeigned thanks for the manifold tokens of His unstinting generosity and unceasing loving kindness. Like David, in his wonderful Psalm of praise, we would abundantly utter the memory of His great goodness, and sing aloud of His righteousness. Those who prepared tho programme for our guid ance to-day, have classified these Divine blessings under the general terms of "Peace and Plenty, Liberty and Religion." Tlie first of these topics, as suggested by the Hth verse of the 147 Psalm, has been assigned to me, with the expectation that I would at least attempt to incite you to gratitude by directing your attention to tlio blessings of peace as one of the rich gifts God has conferred upon us. The text reads, "He maketh peace in thy borders." I road from the Psalm itself, and not from the programme.

The correct rendering, as tho margin has it, is "Who maketh thy borders peace." And God has not only made our peace, but in an especial and emphatic sense, God has made, whatever wo have that is truly illustrious and praiseworthy. 1 may be an enthusiast, but I have always regarded this country as a specimen of God's handiwork. It is as true of America as it was of Palestine that "It is a land which the Lord thy God careth for, and the eyes of the Lord thy God are always upon it, from tho beginning of tho year even nnto tho end." Wo have no vast standing army to breath defiance into our neighbors faces. Peace hath her victories, no less renowned than war." The world cannot understand how wo manage to maintain peace among ourselves. No other country has been peopled by such a variety of race and creed, yet" they are all absorbed and assimilated into our strong vigorous American life.

The people of this country today join in acknowledging God's goodness, that "He maketh peace in our borders." As Christiana wo thank God for a year of undisturbed tranquility. While enjoying the bounties of the day let us evince our gratitude for tho mercies of the year, not forgetting to lift our hearts to Him "Who maketh peace in our borders." RKV. NARUETT'S UUMARKS. "And llllliiK liiee with Uio (most of wlnul." was the text from which Rev. A.

M. Barrett spoke. His address, like all the rest, was very line and showed cure in preparation. We can only give a synopsis of the address. The text is taken from a psalm of praise, and in it praise was set forth as a comely thing.

Praise is the natural outward expression of an inward feeling of strong gratitude. Our national prosperity and the privileges vouchsafed us as a nation are duo more to the wall of lire than to the wall of water around us; to an over-ruling Providence than to natural defenses. The nation that does not acknowledge God could easily bo thrown into the wildest confusion by an omnipotent ruler. God could not let loose his instruments of judgment, making wars where there is now peace. Tho text; beautifully and pleasantly conveys to tho mind the highest of God's goodness and mercy.

If we have tlio choicest gifts, the "ilnest wheat," it is certain that we have the lesser gifts. In products and minerals our country abounds. Our coal llelds are 20 fold the extent of any other nation. Every year witnesses some new discovery, bringing to light our inexhaustable sources of wealth. This is God's laiii sot apart and enriched for His own people.

Our resources of soil and climate are such that we produce for our service more than enough to satisfy, and have some to spare to other nations. Wo have both peace and plenty, as our abundantly laden tables testify, and this should incite us to thank the Great Benefactor who has crowned the "Then had the churches rest and Iv In the text wo have a period of religious prosperity described, anil the cause is that the churches had rest. Study shows that rest was had when Saul, a leader in persecution, was converted. Temporal prosperity and war have always been productive of religious di- clension. It seems strange that riches and religion should not generally dwell in the same house.

The Saviour taught and the apostles gave warning of the dangers of riches. In this most prosperous nation it is necessary that us a nation we should do homage to the Groat Dispenser of every blessing. We ought to be thankful for the institution of the clay with the lessons it inculcates and should be watchful that our thanksgiving does not become merely a name. War as a religious brings into action the more brutal passions and develops the lower propensities of our and deadens conscience. History shows that wars are often followed by corruption in the church, which has in turn been succeeded by wondrous growth and activity by the church.

One of tho English confessors in the days of terrible persecution observed thai "the blood of thejmartyrs is tho seed of tho church." While this is true yet the golden harvest it bears is reaped during the period of rest that follows. The speaker then showed how these observations had been verified in our own history. lie traced the thread of events from tho time of the Pilgrims to the present day, showing that war, invariably had demoralizing effect and opened tho way for infidelity, but this condition always brought to the front strong men, and religious activity followed. While infidelity has caused much evil, it has united the churches and strengthened tho stakes of orthodoxy. Every church is projecting new enterprises; the fields are white everywhere for revival work.

How this calls for our hearts' deepest feelings of praise to Almighty God. How it should awaken us to renewed activity in the work of God. UEV. s. M.

OIUSSMAN'S REMARKS. Rev. S. M. Crisstnan was tho last speaker and had for the text: "Katthe fut and drink the sweet, and send portions imtn them (or whom nothing Is vlll :10.

He began by saying that his text was an announcement for dinner. Referring to the manner in which a thanksgiving day was kept in the time of Nehemiah, he said that it was divided into three parts, devotional, festive and doing good. The first we have had, the second comes next and the third we should be careful to observe. It is more blessed to give than to receive. Send a basket to tho homes whore the floor is bare and the children half clad, and lot that part be the sweetest part of tho day.

The way to enjoy a blessing is to share it. Lot our hearts be enlarged by making some one happy. Ho concluded his address by urging the audience to give a collection as big as the day and as large as their blessings. His earnest words in behalf of the needy had their effect, and a good sum was realized by tho collection, which Rev. Dr.

Jenkins said would be expended by tho Amity Society in deeds of mercy, regardless of denomination. During the collection for the poor Mr. John F. Burrell played a violin solo with organ and cornet accompaniment, after which the choir and congregation sang tho by mn "America" with accompaniment of and full organ.

Tompkins, pastor of the First Methodist Church of this city, in a most impressive manner, a large circle of relatives and friends being present to the happy union. The bride never looked lovelier, and was dressed in her usual exquisite taste. The groom is a duo looking gentleman and was dressed in the conventional black. After tho ceremony had been performed, the newly wedded couple received the hearty congratulations of the guests.

They will unite in wishing her prosperity and happiness in her now relations in life and only regret that her future home is to bo elsewhere. The groom is a son of Mr.

and Mrs. ,1. M. Simm, of Chicago, who are highly esteemed by those who know them best. Mrs.

Simm attended the wedding and she created a very favorable impression on those who met her as being a lady of culture and refinement. The groom is in the employ of Pool of Chicago, and has a good situation. He possesses the ability and education to make his mark in this life. He fully realizes the important step he bus taken in life and will no doubt make a happy home for his young and trusting bride, whom he has vowed to love, honor and protect.
