The Thanksgiving we celebrate
at the close of every harvest season,
1t is said, owes something to the
religious rites of ancient nations.
The oldest Of these is the Jewish
feast OF tabernacles. This festival
occurred annually at the end of the
harvest. The glory of the great
Hebrew festival has long since pass
ed away, but the fundamental prin-
ciple that every one should equally
rejoice in the fruits of the current
harvest, together with the whole
people of the land "before the
Lord"-has entered into the har-
vest observances of Christian lands.
| Greece, i'll the months of August
and September of each year, after
the harvest had been gathered, eel
ebrated the great feast known as
Eleusinia, or the feast to Demeter
of the beautiful robe. Demeter,
the great earth mother, was the
goddess of cornfields and harvests.
The Romans celebrated a harvest
festival called the Cerealia. COM
ing nearer to Our own harvest festi-
val is the English harvest home.
This was celebrated usually III Sep
tember when the moon was full and
was usually a day of boisterous
merit. The Pilgrim fathers remem-
bered this festival and expressed
their thankfulness for their first har-
vest by feast. "Our Thanksgiv-
ing of to-day has taken some part
from each of these different festi-
walls. 1t has taken the time of the
Indian meeting its charity is gain
ed from the Jewish feast of tabcr-
nacles it has copied the festivals
of Demeter and Ceres, in giving
thanks for the crops its mirth and
lestivity has flavor of the English
harvest-home festival and its spirit
of thankfulness and religious ador-
alton was given to it by our Pilgrim
fore fathers. Old Elder Brewster
was certainly inspired when he
made his now famous prophecy OIL
that November day, 1927, and how
we ! it has been fulfilled Blessed
will it be for us, blessed for this
land, for this vast continent nay,
from generation to generation to
generation will the blessing descend.
Generations to come shall look back
to this hour and these scenes of
agonizing trial, this day of small
things, and say: Here was our
beginning as a people. These were
Our fathers. Through their trials
we inherit Our blessings. Their
faith is our faith =; their hope our
hope their God our God"
