THE SPRINGFIELD UNION: THURSDAY MORNING. NOVEMBER GREAT THRONGS, BOUND Thousands of Travelers Headed for Mother and Dinner Pass Through City. Union station was the busiest place in the city last evening, and thousands of travelers -bound for slice of Thanksgiving turkey passed in and out. The rush began late in the afternoon and continued until early this morning. The trains from the south over the New York, New Haven Hartford railroad had the heaviest traffic and practically all the evening trains from New York were in two and three sections.
Yale college boys by hundred stopped off to get in on the "eats" at the station restaurant, on their way to their homes in many parts of New England. Railroad men said that the largest number of Thanksgiving passengers in years was carried out of New York vesterday bound for New England homes. Regardless of this heavy traffic every car reached Springfield and left on time. Travel from Boston also was heavy throughout the afternoon and evening, but, with the exception of one or two, which were in, two divisions, all trains went through in one division. All carried extra coaches, and were crowded to the There were no delays.
The east-bound .1 trains also were heavily loaded, but the traffic was handled without a hitch. Maine rallroad was heavy, thou all of North- bound traffic Boston the trains were sent out of Springfield in single sections. South-bound traffic was not so heavy, but all of the trains carried extra coaches. Even the small one-track divisions of the railroads felt the increased traffic, and the Athol branch of the B. A.
in particular carried many home-comers. The crowds at Union station were amused at 9 o'clock last evening by the appearance of a young man carrying in his arms a live turkey. The bird stood it in sturdy fashion until an inquisitive little girl prodded him with her finger to "see if he really was alive." Then he gobbled in true barnyard fashion, to the delight of the onlookers. There was one bridal party bound for a Vermont turkey dinner. They left amid shower of rice and confetti.
STATEMENTS SHOW SMALL EXPENSES OF CAMPAIGNING John A. Denison and Francke W. Dickinson Expended Respectively $136.20 and $98.50 Statements' of campaign expenses in recent three-cornered contest for the Republican nomination for mayor were filed yesterday by Alderman John A. Denison, the successful candidate, and by Francke WV. Dickinson, one of the candidates who lost.
The statement of Joseph C. Allen, the other defeated candidate, has not yet been filed. Mr. Denison's report shows that he expended $136.20, The several items in the statement were as follows: campaign committee, $100; 'stationery and postage, $12; messenger servIce, two automobiles, $19.50., Mr. Dickinson's statement shows that he expended even a smaller amount than Mir.
Denison, the total being $98.50. To persons who saw the continuous flocking of carriages and automobiles to the polling places during the contest, it will probably come as a surprise to know that Mr. Dickinson, himself only paid for one. He expended the greater part of the $98.50 in printing and in newspaper advertisem*nts. Mayor Lathrop, unopposed for the Democratic nomination, has fled a report showing that he spent nothing to secure the nomination.
Several other candidates in the caucuses have reported that the battle did not cost them a cent. 1 AT BOY'S CLUB. Open House Exercises Are Interesting and Well Attended. ous 5 Fraternal Notes. Div.

Reinl Would Have Men Feel Grateful for Salvation and Testify. FOR BLESSINGS OF LIFE Pastor of Disciples Preaches. at Union Group Service in Emmanuel Church. "Let the Redeemed of the Lord Say So" was the text of the Thanksgiving sermon delivered by Rev. G.
A. Reinl, pastor of the Church of Christ, Disciples, at the annual union Thanksgiving service in Emmanuel church last evening. It is our duty, he said, to show gratitude for jour salvation and to give something return. Mr. Rein's sermon in part follows: "The average minister, in his Thanksgiving sermon, does not lay sufficient emphasis upon the spiritual blessings REV.
G. A. REINL. 1 Pastor of First Church of Christ, Disciples. of life.
He devotes the greater part of the sermon to thanksgiving for 'material things. It purpose tonight to change the order and to lay emphat sis upon thanksgiving for spiritual blessings. 5 "My text is "'Let the Redeemed of the Lord. Say These are words of inspiration, found in Testament, possessing the New Testament ring. We shall look at the text tonight through the eyes of Jesus Christ.
Redemption is a big word. It is packed full of the deepest meaning. I shall not endeavor to define it. I will only say that the price paid for our redemption was stupendous and the blessings derived therefrom beyond what we can ask or give even most think. hearty We have every to our reason Heav- to enly Father for His goodness, kindness and mercy unto us.
would be extremely ungrateful not to do so. 'Let the Redeemed of the Lord There are various ways In which to express our gratitude to our Lord for 'our redemption. I wish to speak of a few "First: By proclaiming the fact of our salvation. 'Let the Redeemed of the Lord Say When Moody became Christian he began immediately to speak of his conversion. He talked to his relatives, his friends, his neighbors and his fellowmen.
Although rebuked and opposed by professing Christians for his persistence in testifying, he nevertheless kept 'right on. Nothing stopped him. 'Let the Redeemed of the Lord Say He was redeemed and 'he said so. Second: By giving of our means to our Lord. In touching this question we touch the most vital point itual pertaining power of the church said Dr.
A. to the consecration and spirJ. Gordon. True. It is strange that so many people are so sensitive on the question of giving.
Why so? To my mind, a man cannot be a true Christian unless his Christianity affects his pockethook. An Indian Christian had a son aMicted with the cholera. No one thought he would recover. The doctor had given 11p hope, but the father prayed earnestly unto his God. is my only son, spare him a to little longer and I will be thankful Thee thankful, my God heard the prayer.
