Thanksgiving day was lont
time in getting itself established
1t is not an exclusively American
affair, and was not generally OBJ
served in the West and South til
after the war; but in the east i
may be said to date from the lit
century. Over 1000 years az
Moses instructed the Israelites t
keep a feast after they got estab
lished in the holy land. They calle'
il the feast of the tabernacles, an
for eight DAYS following the close {
harvest they dwelt in booths mad
chiefly of green boughs, and feaste
on corn, wine. oil and fruits. |
the course of time a splendid ritua
| for this feast was developed, inclt
ding much singing in RESPONSIVE
choruses. Somewhat later tn
Greeks held nine days feast
similar character, in which slave
were allowed to take part, and a
criminals except murderers. I'll
Romans had similar feasts in hon'
Of Ceres, goddess of grain.
The Saxons had a "Harve
Home" and after them the Englis
which festival was observed a so
Of way in some Of the American &C
onies. In the year 1921 the Pilgri
fathers tried to celebrate it, but
was rather a gloomy affair. In l6'
a ship loaded with provisions fail
TO arrive. and Governor Bradfo
/, appointed a day of humiliatio
fasting and PRAYER, but the expect
\ ship arrived, and SO they made il
! day of thanksgiving. Ninety ln'
t ans, headed by Chief Massaso
e took part.
: In 1881 the Puritans ran out
f provisions, and February 9th "
9 named as day of fasting a
PRAYER. As in the other case, !
Y shin arrived, and they had q fe'
' instead. June 10, 1887, there "
3 a general service in all the churcf
J. 10 give thanks for the great Pelno
a and on the 18th of October folio
2 ing a general service and feast
IS honor Of peace and the settling
some religious differences. 70
