r; p the State and throughout the New-Eng

fallen, while the temperature was reported as
loner than in the city by a few degrees. In
Vevr-Jersey and at several points near the city
there was good skating. There were many
places within the city limits where ice was
forming rapidly, and on the rivers the ferry
boats and other moving craft began to show
coating* of ice.
Apparently the severity of the cold did not
interfere with the out-of-doors observances of

bands of children, masked and "dressed as raga-

crVirded. Countless people appeared to be on
tteir way to witness sports or make visits, and
J^anv were carrying golf bags. Near the time
of church services in the morning thousands of
people were seen going to or returning from the
churches.
A «cor» of organizations had parades under ■
permits issued by the Police Commissioner.
Aiaonc them were the Original Hound Guard
veterans, the Washington Light Guard, the
!>nare BacK Rangers, the West Side Sports
and the New-York Turner Cadets. Some of
them went out of the city, after attracting as ;
much attention as possible in the streets.
PRAISE FOR M'KINLEY THE STATESMAN

War. In eulogising "McKinley the Statesman" at
tie First Presbyterian Church. Fifth-aye. and Elev

from Washington during his service at Madrid
:i* Philippine Islands were never once mentioned,
id that the responsibility for those islands came

saiooked for thing. The general also said that the
aost enthusiastic friends of President McKinley
mM not venture to ascribe to him as great ser
vice to the cause of sound money as had been ren
dered by Presidents Grant and Cleveland.
The Rev. Dr. Howard Puffield. the pastor of the
church, conducted the service, th« music being ren
dered by the choir, under the direction of the or-
BBBist Wiiliam C. Carl, with Mrs. Capels. Mr.
Schneider and Mr. Gray as soloists.
Dr. Rossiter Johnson re->d a poem on the death of
Fresident McKinley.
General Vfoodford. passing over the career of the
late President a.= a soldier as a part of his life with
■Men he had not come in contact, said that Mr.
McKinley "was a strenuous man. determined and
forceful in action, but always under the most per
fect self-control." Continuing, he said in part:

BY MISS GOULD'S BOUNTY.
HAPPY SCENES IN THE CHILDREN'S
HOME AT WOODY CREST.
The little waifs at Woody Crest, the home for
poor children maintained by Mis? Helen Miller
Gould at Frvington-on-Hudson, enjoyed the
novelty of sating a Thanksgiving dinner which
had been provided through their own personal
efforts, aided by money furnished by Miss Gould.
Except for a dozen big fat turkeys, which Miss
Gould sent to the home, the little inmates raised
their own chickens, potatoes, celery, eggs and
other holiday delicacies which went to make up
a fine dinner.
Promptly at l'_' o'clock the sixteen boys who
comprise the Inmates of the home sat down at
a long table in the big dining room, covered
with a spotless white «loth, with silver knives
and forks. Miss Miriam Jagger, the matron,
offered a prayer of thanksgiving. In which the
little hoys took part. Then the big turkeys
and the chickens were brought in by the ser
vants, followed by sweet and white potatoes,
celery, cranberry sauce, currant jelly, brown
bread, pumpkin pie, plum pudding, fruits and
nuts. Dinner over, the boys adjourned to the
big playroom, where one of them, an eight-year
old chap, offered this for the many kind acts of
Miss Gould:
"Oh. Lord, we are so happy. We thank Thee
for the many good things Miss Gould has done.
She has given us a nice home, plenty to eat, lots
of clothes and lots of other good things."
"Who puts the thoughts Into Miss Gould's
heart to do so much for you?" Matron Jagger
asked a little tot.
"God In Heaven." he. answered quickly. "He
tells Miss Gould to help us. and we are awful
thankful to Him."
Miss Gould made a special trip to Lyndhurst,
her country seat nt [rvingtoa. late yesterday to
look after the comforts of her employes, each of
whom received a turkey, and her little wards.
She made a flying trip to Woody Crest, to see.
that every one was well and to wish them a
happy Thanksgiving.
There is nothing that Miss Gould cherishes
more highly than .- little reed fruit basket made
by one of the boys, which was given to her to
day by ten-year-old John Hiller. The basket
was Oiled with large chestnuts, which the whole
class of sixteen youngsters had gathered under
th- trees on Woody Crest mountain. The ban
ket was Intended as a Thanksgiving offering.
and little "Johnny" said in presenting it to
her:
"We are so happy here. Miss Gould, that we
want to return our thanks to you."
"You are all good boys," replied Miss Gould.
••God will rako care of you if you are good
Maybe when Christmas comes around Santa
Clans will bring you something nice. i shall
always keep this little present."
The boys also gave Mi.->- Gould an egg bas
ket which they had mad", tilled with large,
white Plymouth Rock eggs These eggs were
laid ii; the hennery, which the lads care tor
on their little Gould stock farm, as they call It.
All the Woody Crest boys are praying for snow.
Miss Gould yesterday presented each one of
them with a pair of rubber boots, cap. mittens
and ulster, and besides has placed three horses
in the stable for their use. together with a big
covered sleigh and robes, and has provided a
coachman to drive them. As there is no snow
on the ground now. the boys joy a daily ride

' I wish to speak to you on the subject, not of your

present in this room who has not had his daj

MINISTERS GIVE THANKS-
IN THEIR SERMONS THEY SUM IT THE
BENEFITS OF A YEAR.
Causes for thanksgiving on the part of the
nation and the city was the principal topic on
which ministers preached yesterday In Thanks
giving Day services in the city churches.
Thanks for the growing power of the nation
and the eminence It had attained tinder th»
administration of President McKinley were the
dominant notes of the sermons, while the vic
tory of the reform forces over Tammany was
alluded to in many instances as marking the be
ginning of a new era for the city. McKinley the
man and McKinley the President were eulo
gized. President Roosevelt was hailed as his
worthy successor, and predictions were made
that his administration, following the lines laid
down by his predecessor, would still further
lead the nation onward and upward.
At St. Paul's <"hapel the Rev. William Mon
tague Oner in his sermon said that there would
be less law breaking, less hypocrisy and less cor
ruption under the system which opened th^
saloon on Sunday for certain hours than under
that which, while purporting to keep the saloon-;
closed throughout Sunday, allowed them to do
business at all hours on that day,- and fur
nished the means for corruption and blackmail.
He made a strong appen! for l f ps criticism and
more support of the incoming municipal admin
istration.
Dr. LOUIS ALBERT BANKS. Hope Baptist
Church.— we come to our national Thanks

lic, properly thank God tor such a great in
heritance of strong vital personalities who have
blessed and enriched the nation. I think no
man knows the noblest spirit of Americanism
unless he feels that he, personally, is richer
because of the purity of character and the lofty
unselfishness of George Washington. And as
we come along down the/way that God has led
us, and think of the great men like Franklin,
and the Adamses, and Webster, and Clay, and
Abraham Lincoln, and Grant— men who stand
up like the great mountains that lift themselves
above the Cascade Range in Oregon and Wash
ington; men with lofty foreheads: men with
great souls: men who fought the storms and
gathered their sinews for the multitudes— our
hearts may grow large and our strength in
crease as we exulting]? exclaim, "They are
ours:" During the last few months, when sev
enty millions of us, with the civilized world as
a background, have hovered over the couch
where William McKinley lay dying from the
assassin's bullet- and we have admired his
noble courage and rejoiced In his (.hristlike
spirit of forgiveness, and felt our faith In God
and Christ electrified by his dying testimony to
the sustaining grace of heaven— Ameri
can has had a sweet sense of ownership as we
have said through our tears: "I. too, am an
American. He is ours." And to-day, when we
think of that strong, lithe, virile figure who sits
yonder in the White House, a representative of
the bravest, purest type of Christian manhood
on the earth, who of US does not feel an added

The Rev Dr. MACARTHUR. Calvary Baptist
Church— To-day we have a distinct cause for
thanksgiving in the recent downfall of Tam

possible for any such organization as Tammany
Hall to ever again sit upon the throne of this

branch of the business.

In our hearts to-day because nationalism has
given place to internationalism. America has
passed from boyhood into manhood. Her con
tinental nationalism has given place to world
wide power. American expansion was the re
sult of divine impulsion. No President or po
litical party could have caused it. When the
Hawaiian Islands were dropped into our lap.
did we not pitch them into the sea again.
Again no President or political party can
stop our expansion. America has en
tered upon a new career grander than
ever before in the history of nations.
The Rev. R. 1.. PADDOCK. Pro-Cathedral, in Stan
ton-st.— are a few ordinary and common
-blessings that 1 want to speak of this morning,
and then I want to turn lor a moment to the
larger blessings that have come to this city and
the State, our country and the world. First, crea
tion: we should be grateful for the joy of living
and for the power to do good which mere ex
istence gives us.> We have it in health anil in
sickness. From the dfvthhed of our President
an influence for good went forth that was
greater than ever he had exercised before. We
should thank the members of our family and
our friends for their support and help. I want
to thank God to-day and you who have been so
good and kind and thoughtful toward me.
Thank God for the Pro- Cathedral. Do you
realize what this district would be without Its
constant effort to uplift, its warning not to do
wrong and its inspiration, advice and encour
agement? We have, with God's help, won a
victory. Purity, honesty and civic righteous
ness have triumphed. We are to have good men
to administer the affairs of the city. We have
reason to hope that we in this neighborhood will
hereafter have our rights and will be protected.
The Rev GEORGE R. VAN DE WATER. St. An
drew's Church— Our nation is practically at
peace. Every day of the year has added to our
prestige at home and abroad. It Is something
to be thankful for that at last rulers have been
selected for their character and ability. A city
will never be successful if it is run in the inter
ests of one class and in disregard to the needs
of others. The city must never stamp wrong
with the label of right and never license sin.
Sunday is a day of rest and worship, and special
privileges must he denied those whose trade is
dangerous and iniquitous. It is a blessed thing
when we rind that righteous men. who will
punish wrongdoing and rule righteously, have
been chosen to govern us.
The Rev. Dr. W. S. RAINSFORD. St. George's
Church— The curse of the American people is
their readiness to believe the worst of the men
they have elected to office. History shows that
public office makes men better, and jet no
sooner does a man achieve office in the United
States by the votes of his fellow men than those
who voted for him because of his good qualities
criticise him offensively and announce publicly
that they believe that he has suddenly become
vile. The American people should be thankful
God ha- given them more than He has Riven
any other people. They should be thankful for
William McKinley and thankful that when that
great faithful heart ceased to beat there was a
man like Roosevelt to step into the vacant place.
There was never any reason to despair, although
there were things in New-York hard to endure.
Do not be discouraged if after a few years *«
appear to return to them. We shall never sink
bo low again. New- York has taken a ' step
forward. It has taken many steps forward.
Even under the present administration it was
nothing like as dirty as it was eighteen years
ago. when 1 first came to this church. Put your
trust in God and help the administration as
much as you can. Indiscriminate criticism can
do no good, and will only make the return of
the reactionary force* more certain. The worst
of most reform administrations is their imprac
ticability Mr Low cannot give us a perfect gov
ernment, and he ought not to try. If he does
try the city will be in the hands of Tammany
again in two years. Justice Jerome as District
Attorney cannot give us a perfect administra
tion of his great office. If he tries to do SO he
will do more harm than good. They must do
what they can. of course, but they must be
practical : We must help them all we can. and
we shall not help by criticising every action
taken that does not agree exactly with the
action we should have taken under like condi
tions In any event, we may all be thankful
that the municipal life of New-York has taken a
step forward and that the entire municipal life
of the United States has taken the step forward
with New-York.
The Rev Dr NEWELL DWIGHT HIT.I.IP. Plym
outh Chur-li. Brooklyn— But I confess that the
nation has been near to the shadow of grief,
thai the marks of a great tragedy are stilt
keenly felt We are rebellious still in the death
of our dearly beloved President, but who shall
say that a greater happiness Is not now his? No
other .vent gave him greater good fortune than
Ills sudden death hi the midst of his brilliant
career and splendid manhood. hat greater
tribute has a man ever had than that which
was paid to William McKinley in recognition of
his worth when, for ten days men felt the in-
Huence of his life most keenly, and. when, at
that last moment, all traffic was stopped and
heads were bared in reverence? The cup of poi
son for Socrates, the execution of Savonarola
the assassin's bullets for Abraham Lincoln and
William Mi-Kinley-these are the four great
'strokes in the history of the world that have
made for good through the wisdom of an over
ruling Providence. They have brought about not
national calamity, but individual uplifting. In
the middle classes, from whom are now coming
he Neatest inVenttons. the greatest wealth the
greatest developments of the arts, lies the hope
of the republic. Monarchies are looking with
some friendliness toward this republic, and Its
It Iven i« f being felt across the sea. In connec
ion with the despotic influence of the Czar
they are rearing the principles of liberty, led
by American missionaries, the true commercial
Tr-ivellVr" of the world. I thank God on this
Thanksgiving Day for the increasing Integrity
Jf the people, as evidenced by the recent elec
?inn in their choice of the best man. who rep
rints all that is best In municipal affairs.
Mr Low l" a Philanthropist, an advocate of ed
ucation and of everything: that is good for the
people.
