Thanksgiving Day is chiefly an Ameri-
can institution. After the first harvest Of
the New England colonists in 1921 Gov.
Bradford made provision for their rejoicing
specially together with praise and prayer
In 1923 day Of fasting and prayer In the
midst Of drought was changed into thanks
giving by the coming Of rain during
the prayers gradually the custom prevail
ed of appointing thanksgiving annually af-
ter harvest. These appointments were by
proclamation Of the governors Of the sever.
al New England states. During the revo-
luton day Of National thanksgiving was
annually recommended by congress. WASH
ington recommended such day, after the
adoption Of the constitution, and his exam
pie was occasionally initiated by subse-
quent presidents. During the rebellion,
President Lincoln frequently recommended
the observance of such a day after victor
les, and made PROCLAMATION for national
observance in 1868. Since that time such
q proclamation has been annually issued,
and custom has fixed on the last Thursday
Of November as the time. or late years,
the custom Of appointing a Thanksgiving
day by the governors Of states, long confn
ed to New England, has been adopted
through the country.

The president, G. b. White, being called
