NESDAY EVENING "While all nations and religions contrive far-fetched causes for gratitude, Christians have the only true basis for thanksgiving," Rev. Aubrey Plymouth White, pastor of First Baptist church, told a congregation made up of members of various Freeport churches attending a union Thanksgiving service Wednesday evening in Oak Avenue Evangelical church. "Paul has pressed this," said the speaker, "in the words "thanks be unto God for His unspenkable gift, (11. Cor. These words formed the text for Mr.

White's sermon, the title of which was "The True Basis for Thanksgiving." Musical features Incidental to the service were Interesting, and an offering was taken for the community service bureau. Highlights of Serman Rev. Mr. White said: "Gratitude is not a graft on human nature, but it is as natural as eyesight or hearing, Thanksgiving is as old as the human family, and the bases have been numerous. We see In the Old Testament that upon special occasions the people were called together to give thanks unto God for the harvests, for victory in war, and for religlous privileges, It has always been the natural and the normal attitude of man towards his God.

"Indeed, ingratitude is abnormal. It is Indicative of the lowness of the nature of him who displays It. It is atheism of the most iniquitous kind. It reasons God out of His universe, and robs Him of the praise due, towhich name. Black the sins men are guilty, but, of no man can a darker thing be said than, 'neither was ho While ak nations and religions contrive far- fetched causes for gratitude, Christians have the only true basis for thanksgiving.

Paul has expressed it in this text, "Thanks be unto God for His unspeakable gift." "Have you noticed this prefix 'un' as it is used with reference to man? -unclean, unthankful, uncouth, unprofitable, unstable, unrighteous, unthankful, ungodly. How can we, in that condition, possibly give acthanks? ceptable. see how this prefix is used in reference to Christ: 1) "He is the unsearchable riches. (Eph, 3.8). Says "Christianity Has Not Falled" "There has been much talk of poverty these last few years, and many have felt the pinch of want.

Two hundred thousand boys are wandering our country, jobless. Men have not worked for years, not because they are lazy but because there is no work for them to do. The cure for all these economic problems is not in communism or in socialism or in party politics, but in Christianity. Christ is the unsearchable riches we need. "We need wisdom? Christ is the wisdom of God.

"We need charitableness and grace to go on? 'Who can tell the exceeding riches of his Let us be rich in falth. Christianity has not failed, it has been tried and then abandoned because it is difficult, (II) is an Unchangeable Mediator! (Heb. 7:24.) 'Change and decay in all around I see; Thou, who changest not, abide with me." He is eternally the same, This old world is a place of change. In 1857 there were 4,250 business fallures, At a cost of 266,000,000 of dollars. In 1861, 6,000 fallures at a cost of 78,000,000 of dollars.

The failures and loss since 1927-who guess? came "Kingdoms over all the world are tottering; thrones are crumbling; governments breaking up. 'Change and decay in all around I see; Thou, who changest not, abide with me. "Thanks be unto God for an unchangeable Christ, Who is to be the King of Kings and Lord of Lords over an unchangeable kingdom. (III), "He is the unspeakable gift of God to the world. For the last 1900 years we have been writing books about Him, preaching sermons about Him, and still He has not been fathomed.

He is still the Ineffable, indisceribable, Inexpressiblye, unlimited, unutterable unspeakable Christ; divine in His humanity, and human 111 His divinity. Of the Christ in His humility and in His glory, His suffering and His sovereignty 'the half never yet been He is unspeakable, "Let tIS at this Thanksgiving time, and all through the years, give thanks unto God for His unsearchable, unchangeable, unspeakable gift; the true basis for thanksgiving."

In the Tartini sonata, he gave due regard to contrasts in tone. The Beethoven "Romance" was most Impressive with the organ accompanist. It was played In the softened candle-light, making it doubly effective. Mr. Timmerman played' Schubert's "Ave often heard in violin programs -with excellent tone and expression.

"Indian Lament" by DvorakKreisler, played with the mute, was listened to with a stillness that no one could mistake for anything but the greatest enjoyment and interest.

There's a certain class of people who figure that if you've broken 8 rule for somebody else, you oughta do it for them. It's like the time a travelin' salesman rushed into the depot back home and told the depot agent he wanted to take the midnight train to St. Louis. The agent says "That train don't stop here." The salesman says "Yes, but I've got to catch it! I have'ta be in St. Louis in the morning." The depot agent says "The train don't stop here." Finally the salesman gave the agent a direct look and said "Did that train ever stop for anybody?" The agent, said "Yes---once it stopped Jesse James!" (Copyright, 1937, Esquire Features, Inc.).
