THANKSGIVING. 
Rev. Mr. Whitaker says it means more than 
“Count Your Blessings.” 
Rev. John Hoiland Whitaker preach- 
ed an abie sermon at the Manchester 
Congregational church Sunday morn- 
ing on “ Why Men Thank God.” 
He pointed out that the spirit of 
thanksgiving should be not only that 
of counting our blessings, but that 
also of offering praise to God, and of 
doing good and communicating good 
to others. 
Mr. Whitaker took his text from 
Hebrews 13:15, 16— “ By him there- 
fore let us offer the sacrifice of praise 
to God continually, that is the fruit of 
our lips, giving thanks to his name. 
But, to do good and communicate for- 
get not: for with such sacrifice God 
,is well pleased.”’ 
He said in part : 
‘Life is nota term of probation, 
its object to determine whether at its 
close we shall enter into heaven or 
hell. And the events of life are not 
tests appointed by God tosee whether 
we are going to accept or Feject him, 
But life is God’s great school of edw- 
cation. And the events of life are 
the lessons by which God seeks both 
to teach us divine truth and to make 
us develop into the real power of man- 
hood. 
‘In the school of life the instruct- 
ion is as multifarious as human expe- 
rience itself is marvelously diversified 
medley. All men are net obliged to 
go through the same routine, and 
many are the studies marked elective. 
But somethings are required of all 
men, without regard to circumstances), 
temperament, or predelection, and 
among these required studies: of hfe 
none is more important, surely, tham 
is the great lesson of Thanksgiving. 
“«Count your blessings’,. is: good! 
advice, and few of us are living up to 
jt as we should. Weare all the daily 
recipients of God’s favor, without am 
answering response in our hearts at 
all commensurate to the gifts which 
he bestows. 
‘«‘ But this is not all of thanksgiving. 
The man whose thankful spirit de- 
pends upon the blessings: which he 
can count in sight is im a perilous 
position. 
“Tt is the man who has met ad- 
versity, sorrow, and disappointment 
who most of all God’s pupils in the 
school of life needs to have learned 
the great and mighty secret of the 
Lord, whereby the sacrifices of praise 
to God is offcred without cessation, 
and without regard to the vicissitudes 
of fortune. Calamity never yet over- 
whelmed the man who has learned 
the sacrifice of praise to God. 
‘But there is another element of 
thanksgiving —the reciprocal element, 
the sea was choppy. 
—— 
which is a source of infinite power 
and comfort to the man who _ under- 
stands it, for by it he knows that if he 
does good and communicates good, 
he adds to his lite the inestimable 
blessing of the gratitude and thanks- 
giving of God toward him. 
“The praise of men is sweet, the 
blame of men is sometimes bitter, but 
the man who allows himself to be sin- 
cerely affected by one or the other 
has not yet learned the satisfying 
power of his 
thanksgiving.” 
Biown Out to Sea. 
John Bennett, a well known Man- 
chester character, who for the past 
few years has been earning a living 
by fishing off the shore, had a thrilling 
adventure Monday afternoon, which 
almost cost him his life. He was 
blown out to sea, and almost over- 
come by the cold and was picked up 
off Cape Ann by the Rockport life 
saving crew. 
Mr. Bennett started out from town 
wharf, in Manchester harbor, early 
Monday morning as is his custom. 
‘‘T] was bound for the Breakers,” 
said Mr. Bennett to the Breeze man, 
‘‘where I knew I could strike cod. 
There wasn’t any wind to speak of, 
but just before noon a strong breeze 
blew up, and before long it was blow- 
ing almost a gale from the northwest. 
“I put up my sail and started for 
home, but the wind was stormy and 
I fell off to lee- 
ward, and when I saw I couldn't 
make Manchester I headed for Glou- 
cester. But I could see I was blow- 
img out of my course and the first 
thing I knew I was down past Glou- 
cester, off Thatcher’s Island.” 
It was off Thatcher’s Island wken 
ail hope was gone and it was evident 
lhe would blow out to sea that the life 
saving crew at Straitsmouth saw the 
helpless fisherman in the small dory 
and came to his rescue. He was 
cared for, given a meal and was sent 
home on a late afternoon train. 
Mr. Bennett is 75 years old. He 
was a sailor in his younger days, but 
for many years he was engaged in 
stone mason business in Manchester. 
It is only in recent years he has 
been following the sea again. His 
friends are now trying to prevail upon 
him to give up fishing, but Mr. Ben- 
nett says his experience doesn’t both- 
er him and he will continue at his 
vocation. His call was, to say the 
least, a close one.
