II has been pointed ont by some vino lavc looked
this pamphlet that. according 70 history.
President Lincoln WA the first Executive Of Tho
Nation ~ institute the practice OF making proc
lamation setting aside day for the observation
o. thanksgiving services. That such day was
observed by the Pilgrim Fathers has also been
understood. and that the Indians too. were accus-
toned to hold autumn feast which was in the
nature Of thanks giving has also been believed.
The colonsts adopted the custom. but. As his
tories-Whose authority has been accepted-nsser''
no National acknowledgment made OF the day
until Lincoln issucd his proclamation in 1858 The
reason why the Southern States have not observed
Thanksgiving until years has been attributed
10 the fact that the Introduction % tho holiday
came at n tine when the at It's height and
I; wGs felt that Genonstrat ton OF the kind would
be out OF keeping with the spirit OF the people.
Moreover. there was great unwillingness TO follow
in the footsteps OF the North. Had the feast been
an established National before the war, 10
such feeling would have existed in the South IL
the opinion Of many people. and they declare that
any proclamation Washington may have made has
been forgotten.
Yet this sermon Of 1875 preached by the
father Of Oliver Wendell Holmes on tho day ap-
pointed by Washington for a National Thankssiv-
ing Mr. Holmes says:
Let us consider those numerous and signal
mercies by which Nation is distinguished and
which arc enumerated in the proclamation OF our
ulustrious President what afford special cause
this day Tor National Thanksgiving and praise.
The preacher quotes from the proclamation as the
first public blessing to receive Acknowledgment

scenes Of agonizng trial. this day OF small things,
Thesc werc our fathers. Through their trials we

Such 4 voice that In the wilderness is one
for which this Nation should be thankful. We are
what We are because these heroes Of faith were

Miss T. 81. Lewis thinks no one has sung more
sweetly OF the autumn festival than the loved
New ENGLAND poet:
THANKSGIVING.
Once more the liberal year laughs out
O'er richer stores ihan gems Of gold.
once more with harvest song and shout
Is Natures bloodless triumph told.
our common mother rests and sings
I.il. Ruth among her garnered sheaves;
Her lap T. full Of gOOdly things.
Her brow j. bright with autumn leaves.
And bv the affairs wreathcd In flowers
And fields OF frul, awake again
THANKSGIVING for the golden hours
