deserted, how many household divided, since
the Thanksgiving Supper, one year ago called
them together In one q fathers care has
ceased to be feli in another, the mother kind
and tender watching has been exchanged for
sorrow and dcsoate home. Many sister
and brother has gone to join the heavenly host
on high and those little cherubs of a mothers
love to bloom into blossoms above The poor
have grown rch the rich poor while not few
will find the same choic blessings falling upon
their possessions and others will, the same as
years before, find no place to lay their weary
head, nor whcrewithal TO clothe and feed their
depending ones To this class while we gather
around the lestal board, let our bosoms espe
cialy yearn for their comfort. Let benevolent
hands provide feast, from the overlooking gar
ner and ardef, for their need and comfort.
All will to-day devoutly thank the Giver of all
Good that our lots are cast in pleasant places
and our portions are among the blest. Let this
Pilgrim custom OF Thanksgiving be made the
time to rehearse our dependence on the AL
mighty and renew our trust in his goodness and
mercy
Let us be thankful for life and health, for
Freedom, for abundant harvests, for education
al and religious privileges, such as other land
enjoys. Let us return, so far as convenient to
the homes Of our wives and children our pa.
rents and tho scenes of our childhood and re-
unite our hearts in those endearing family ties
of social friendship which power none other
than death can separate. On this day, let us
lest and be thankful.
