A CENTURY OF THANKSGIVING.
And the Special Reasons why Our Rulers Have Been Grateful to
God on This Day of the Year.

The Pilgrims of that day, standing
upon Plymouth Rock, little thought
that those same words would bound
through the generations and be echoed
in the centuries to come.
They little thought those devout and
unworldly Pilgrims that other nations
besides the English would find their
way. to the newly discovered shores
and, glad for blessings, say "Let US
give thanks with you'll"
Let us give thanks" is the watch
word of the Thanksgiving of to-day.
From a feeling of sentiment, it has be-
come national institution, perhaps
the strongest of all national institu-
lions.
The little handful has grown to a
people of greatness and strength, who
give thanks to-day not only for liberty
but for national glory second to that of
no other nation.
1t was not until 1889, when the coll
onies had developed into hourishing
little republic, with George Washing
ton at its head, that Thanksgiving was
officially recommended to be set aside
as day of fasting and prayer.
THE FIRST PROCLAMATION.
On October 8, 1889, Washington is
sued proclamation that, on the Goth
of the following November, all places Of
business should be closed, and that the
whole nation should unite in render
ing to that great and glorious Being
our sincere and humble thanks, for
His kind care and protection of the
people of this country previous to their
becoming nation; for the signal and
manifold mercies and the favorable in
terposition of His providence in the
course and conclusion of the late war;
for the great degree of tranquility,
union and plenty which we have since
enjoyed; for the peaceable and rational
manner in which we have been eaabled
to establish constitutions of govern
ment, for our safety and happiness, and
in general, for all the great favors
which He has been pleased to confer
upon u.s."
President John Adams thought that
the safety and prosperity of nations
ultimately and essentially depend upon
the protection and blessing OF Almighty
God and the national acknowledgement
of this truth.
During his first term as President
there was great deal OF trouble among
the nations across the water, and his
first Thanksgiving proclamation show
ed that what he was most thankful for
was that the "calamities which aIiict-
ed foreign nations visited not the
United States, and, further, that its
people were exempt from boring wars,
enjoying a great degree of internal
tranquility"

NOT A NEW IDEA.

II suppose you would like to see a
horseless carriage?" he said to his
friend from village up the State.
"Oh, saw EN- forty years ago." was
the reply.
"But they have only been out four or
five years.
