THANKSGIVING
UNION SERVICE
CHURCH WAS' FILLED TO ITS
FULLEST CAPACITY.
SINGING A FEATURE
Decorations Were Particularly Appro- 1
priate to the Day-Splendid Sermon
by the Reverend Willard Fuller,
Pastor of the First Baptist Church.
The new Christian church, in North
Twenty-eighth street, was packed to
its fullest capacity at 11 o'clock yes
terday forenoon, the occasion being
the union Thanksgiving services that
were held by the evangelical churches
of the city.
The interior of the church had been
very appropriately decorated for the
occasion. Flags were suspended over
the pulpit and on the walls and as an
evidence of the fruitfulness of the
season--one of the many reasons for
giving thanks, there were displayed
in pleasing effect sheaves of wheat
and flowers, fruits and vegetables.
The music was rendered by a double
quartette of mixed voices and the
singing was one of the grand features
of the services. All of the pastors of
the city who were in town participated
in the services, which were deeply im
pressive and beautiful throughout.
The sermon was delivered by the Rev
erend Willard Fuller, pastor of the
First Baptist church. The Reverend
Mr. Fuller took for his text Acts V
41: "And they departed from the
presence of the council rejoicing that
they were counted worthy to suffer
shame for his name." Mr. Fuller said
in part: "Is it enough to thank God
for the things that please us, and
stop at that? When things come to
us immersed it dark shadows should
we relegate them to some hated limbo,
and refer to them as mysterious pro
vidences, calling only for meekness
and submission? Thank God for sun
shine? Yes, but what about the
shadows? Thank God for pleasures?
Yes, but what about the pain? For
prosperity, what about poverty? Some
I body says that tears are telescopes.
t We ureach today that suffering is the
mother of melody. Not that we should
court tribulation, but that when trials
come we do well to study to know
their ministry, accept their blessings
and thank God for them. This is the
teaching of Scripture. Paul said, 're
joicing in tribulation also.' Jesus
said, 'Blessed are ye when men perser
cute you.' James said, 'Count it all
joy when ye fall into divers trials.'
David said, 'It is good for me that I
have been afflicted.' Biography and
history furnish numerous instances in
evidence of ..is teaching, that suffer
ing is an occasion for thanksgiving.
Witness the Huguenots and Puritans.
Witness Savonarsla and John Huss,
Said a poet, 'The dear cross has press
ed many songs out of me.'
Mental powers are quickened by
sorrow. Men have poured forth treas
ures of thought when made to think
of a dungeon, an inquisitor's fire
brand, a cup of hemlock, a cross.
Sorrow gives impetus to the moral
nature. Under the stress of tempta
tion, disappointment, misrepresenta
tion, disappointment, cruel treatment,
mere ordinary folk have risen to sub
lime moral heights. We are hero wor
shippers. What are heroes made of?
They are not made of such soft things
as tapestries and moonbelms. The
best that comes to us comes through
Gethsemane. The crown on the brow
of him who stands on the highest pin
nacle is a crown of thorns.
"It is said that cannon is the last
argument of kings. The cross is the
last argument of God. It is not by
swords and gunboats, but by the cross
that the great victory is won. It was
not when the Son of Man lifted, but
when He was lifted, that He drew the
world to him. That was the crown
ing achievement of history. The ob
ject in life is not enjoyment, but de
r velopment. The dark things of life
minister to that better end, and hence
should call out our gratitude. It is
at the cross we find the sanest reason
I for thanksgiving."
e R. H. Goddard of Livingston, spe
s cial agent for the Northern Pacific
railway company, was in town yes
Y terday on official business. He is
e looking for the man who took a purse
0 from a lady who was a passenger on
d one of the company's trains a few
11 days ago, and he thinks he has his
> eye on the right man. He expects to
g make sure of him in the next few
r days.

)f C. A. Lundy, who has been con
1s nected with the management of one
-. of the hotels in the Yellowstone Na
B- tional park, arrived in the city yes
terday, on a short business visit.
ALMOST A FIRE.
George Coleman's Timely Discovery
at Vail & Potter'q Last Night.
.At 10 o'clock last night a fire was
prevented at Vaill & Potter's new
place of business on Twenty-eighth
street by the timely opening of a clo
set door by George Coleman.
Mr. Coleman was in the act of
changing the rolls on an electric piano
and went to the closet to obtain a new
roll:' When he opened the door there
was a burst of flames and snigke which
caused him to back step a few paces,
and he called to Sam Roberts, the
bartender, for assistance. The two
men went into the closet and drag
ged out a big roll of burn
iIg paper and other material
and the flames enveloping then
were speedily stamped out. How
the fire started is a mystery that has
not been explained, but it is supposed
that some one went into the closet
with a lighted cigar and that in some
manner the fire started therefrom.
The saloon is locates in the George
building next to the city hall.
There was no session of the police
court yesterday morning. All of the
unfortunate persons who were so un
lucky as to fall into the hands of the
police Wednesday night were compell
ed to remain in durance vile over
Thanksgiving day, and their cases
will be heard this morning. However,
they were recompensed to a slight de
gree for their long incarceration with
a turkey dinner which was served un
der the direction of Jailer Baker.
The Presbyterian people are making
some needed repairs to their church
building which they recently acquired
from the Episcopals, and expect to
have the church in shape for a house
warming on Thursday evening of next
week. On the Sunday following an
evangelist of the church will open
services therein, and will assist the
pastor, the Reverend B. Z. McCol
r lough, in a series of meetings that
may last several weeks.
