WHY SHOULD WE THANK HIM,

Palsied and lettering TO the tomb;
Spent and faded the summers gold
Never a bird-sonG thrills the gloom,

All we have known of the sweet and fair.
Here, in the shadow, we thank the Lord.
Why shoaId we praise Him3 The hopes Of

Haunt like specters the blackened past,
Faisehood taught us 10 doubt the truth;
Bitter the wisdom that came at last,
Yet for the strength in the conflict won,
Faith that rang like a master chord,
Love and honor and duty done,
Out OF our sorrow we thank the Lord.
Why should we praise Hlm7 The hint Of
loss
Comes as warning with llfe's first breath,

Falls the shadow and chill OF death.
lie who gave us the hope and prayer
Over our path keeps watch and ward;
Heaven shall answer the earth's despair!

Capt. Bridge of Shasta county, Cal,

THE FIRST THANKSGIVING.
The Earliest observation I'm Ameri-
,n-The Puritan Thanksgiving.

The Earliest observation I'm Ameri-
,a-The Puritan Thanksgiving.
There Is little doubt that the New
England Thanksgiving day, inaugural
ed by the Pilgrim Fathers, was adopt
ed by them with special reference to
the Jewish feast of Tabernacles. Some
have supposed that 1t may have a
some reference, in origin, to the Eng
Iish feast Of the harvest home, with
which the early settlers Of New Eng
land were all familiar, but this Is not
probable. The Puritans abomlnated all
secular feasts, and the harvest home,
with it's drinking and riotous merry
making. was hardly less detestable to
them than the mummers and the
sail bowl of Christmas. Besides ii
was the especial desire of those
worthy folk to model their govern
ment in all it's particulars on the
Scripture code, and, furthermore, the
reasons on which the Hebrew feast
was enjoined, that the people might
be kept in mind of an especial Provi-
dence ever watching over them,
seemed perfectly applicable to their
case.
The observance of special occasions
with religious services and thanks
giving was not unusual in Europe
even before the time of the Pilgrims.
Such a day was observed in Leyden,
Holland, oct. 3, 1915, on the first an
niversary OF the deliyerence of that
city from siege. When the Spanish
Armada had been defeated Queen
Elizabeth ordered a day of praise and
thanksgiving. Again when the gun
powder plot was discovered, i'm 1903.
a public thanksgiving was ordered,
which later was regularly observed;
but soon. as Guy Fawkes' day, 1t de-
generated into a mere occasion for
schoolboy frolics.
However, the first Thanksgiving
dinner in New England was not re-
ligious In Its character. Ii was In the
autumn of 1621. ten months after the
peerless little band OF pioneers had
landed on the shores of Plymouth bay.
There had been much sickness in the
colony during the first few months,
ard many deaths. "The record OF
misery" says Bancroft, twas kept by
the graves of the governor and half
of the COMPANY" Yet the others did
