THANKSGIVING SERVICE.

FIRST CHURCH OF CHRIST, SCIENTIST, HONG KONG. "Thanksgiving" was the subject of the Lesson-Sermon in First Church of Christ, Scientist, on Thursday, November, 28.

The Golden Text was: "Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all ye lands: Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise be thankful unto him, and bless his name" (Psalms 100: 1, 4).

Among the citations which com- prised the Lesson-Sermon was the following from the Bible: "O Give thanks unto the Lord, for he is good for his mercy endureth for ever, Let the redeemed of the Lord say so, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy: And gathered them out of the lands, from the east, and from the west, west, from the north, and from the south. And let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and de- elare his works with rejoicing" (Pk 107: 1-3, 92).

The Lesson-Sermon also includ- ed the following passages fram the Christian Science tex-book, "Science and Health with Key to

So I would urge every Scout and Guide who has any voice at all to use it to the best advantage and for the happiness of as many people as possible.

JOCK, JOE AND A FULL- BLOWN ROSE.

(CONTRIBUTED.)

"Another Bower day! What is it all about? I can understand poppy day saw a bit of the war myself, so I can pity the poor wounded beggars, disabled for life, but what is this rose day?'"

There was a touch of impatience in the speaker's voice, as he flicked the ash from his fragrant cigar and looked enquiringly at his older сотраціоп.

Rose Day is the day when the little bud of your sympathy should have blossomed into charity. The rose is a symbol of love, rich in colour, rich in perfume, rich in the variety of its shades. The Vincent

de Paul Society have taken the rose as their emblem on this day when they ask you to plant the rose of a kindly deed in the gar- dens of the poor which are flower less."

"I don't quite grasp your mean- ing!"

"Oh it's simple. I'll tell you why I became a member of the Vincent de Paul Society."

"One day there came to him a tity wisp of a boy, barely clad in the miserable rags

which were thrown round his shivering little body and with the peculiarly pinch ed face of those who are wizened not by years but by the grip of poverty crushing the tender bud of life in its very effort to expand."

"Well, little 'un," said Jock,.! "what do You want some

sweeties?"

Ten cents, addie: ten cents, all writ in court style

The little fist relaxed its grip: Joe looked sadly at the five-cent piece temptation swept his soul if he could not have the letter why

not satisfy the gnawing hunger with some of the good things on Jock's stail? Then he thought of his mother and two big tear drops glistened in his eyes.

"Come, come, laddie, I'll write the letter," spid old Jock. "It won't cost you tan cents (dropping his voice), no nor one cent anyther. What's the name of the party?"

I took her two hands, and kiss ed her face. She was cold, cold, very cold, but she ain't got no blanket."

Old Jock has now an nesistant in his little stall, and Joe has an adoptive father.

The young man threw away hie unfinished cigar and turned sharp- ly to his companion: "But is this trus? Do these things happen?".
