The ORIGIN of THANKSGIVING,

AS if to resist the bitterness and sad
ness of the falling year. the most genial
and kindly Of all our festivals occurs ut
the end of November. It's very name
Thanksgiving" betrays its pious orig
in--an origin unmixed with any prior
tradition. The great Christian festi-
val of Christmas stretches backward to
yule logs and miStletOes, to Scandina-
Wan and Briton heathenry; nor does it
lose by the graceful, happy association.
But Thanksgiving is purely Puritan.
/ is the good warm heart cOnquering
the tough head and ascetic manner of
old pilgrims.
In Elliott's New England History"
you may read that in 1923, after the
harvest, Governor BradStreet sent out
a company to shoot game to furnish a
dainty feast of rejoicing after the la
bors of the colony. Having followed
the directions of the governor, and the
excellent Mrs. Glass. they cooked their
game and invited MasSasoit and some
ninety other savages, and all fell to and
devoured the feast. thanking God for
the good world and the good things in
it,"
Think of that little shivering band
clustered on the bitter edge of the con-
tinent, with the future before them al
most AZ dark as the forest behind
them, many of them with such long
lines of happy memories in Old Eng
land flashing across tho sea into the
gloom of their present position like
CLEANS of ruddy freight that stream
far out of the cheerful chimney into
the cold winter highland think of the
same festival of to-day when our gov
errors and our president invite many
millions of people to return thanks to
the great giver of harvests: and the
millions of people obeying. sacrifice
hecatombs of turkeys and pumpkins
and pour out seas of cider and harm
less wine.
1t might be dangerous to state ones
reputation upon the assertion that
Thanksgiving is a strictly religious
feast. 1t is a day of practical rejoicing
in the good things of this world, and
there may even be people whose
mouths are fuller of turkey than their
hearts of thanks. But every year the
area of the feast enlarges. Every year
there are more people who sit down to
''groaning boards" as the reporters
happily express it, upon occasions of
civic festivity.
Dear old Thanksgiving, Long and
long may this hospitable board be
spread
