Beers had remembered the salute

Thanksgiving.

To-day is Thanksgiving Day.
The day is not observed at this
time as it was in the time of the
Pilgrim Fathers and for number
of years afterward. In those good
old times it was regarded as day
of prayer and thanksgiving to the
Almighty Father for the several
prosperous years that followed the
famine times of the Pilgrims. In
these latter days it seems to be re-
garded as day of amusement.
Instead of the prayer meetings and
divine services throughout the day
the time now is occupied by turkey
shoots, and all classes of sports and
gaiety; and usually the day ends
with a dance.
What the exact cause for this
drifting away from the old customs
is, we are not prepared to say. But
we do know that it is so. In many
instances the observance of the day
is just the reverse of what it was in
the old days. Instead of the fast
ing it has become feast day, and
everyone tries his utmost to ascer-
tain the proportions of his CASTRO
nomical cavity.
Some will argue that men are not
as religious or God-fearing people
to-day as they were in those days,
and in a great sense this is true.
Man is gradually drifting away from
all the old rites and customs and
making things suit the present age.
If you were to see man going about
in sixteenth century costume, you
would at once express the opinion
that he ought to be in an asylum:
or if you were to have sixteenth
century laws for your government
you would all declare you were serfs,
and so it is with the observance OF
certain holidays. Their observance
has changed as man has changed.
