THANKSGIVING DAY.
WE SHOULD MAKE OF 1T A SEASON
OF REJOICING.

Our Festival Mt the IngatherinE OF
the Fruits Ts an Imitation of the
Feast of Tabernncles-Eat of Gods
Bounty and Remember the Poor.
Praise for the goodness Of God is
never out of place and never unseason,
able, but 1t is especially appropriate on
days set apart by official appointment
to notice the mercies which have fol
lowed us, the blessings which. we have
enjoyed, the kind interpositiGsls which
have been made In our behalf, the
bounties which have been bestowed
upon us in order that we may render
again to God for all his benefits with
festive joy and heartfelt thankfulness
The establishment of day of
thanksgiving in the late autumn after
the ingathering of the fruits, was made
by the early settlers of New England,
In imitation of the feast of tahernacles
held by the Jewish nation. 1t was a
wise and pious act, and It's adoption
by most of the states and at length by
the general government of this broad
land is an evidence of the diffusion of
those religious sentiments which ware
at the foundation of the settlement of
this country.
We may welcome this annual thanks
giving today with the added interest
which venerable custom has thrown
around it, with the pleasing memories
which early associations weave about
our former celebrations of it, with the
recollections of absent friends who
have shared 1t with us, the reunion of
families, the merry laugh of children,
the pleasure of parents and hail its ad.
vent as day of sacred and social joy.
1t should be observed with happy
hearts and cheerful voices, and for
the time at least the sigh of sorrow
should be hushed and the tear of grief
restrained, while full scope is given to
all the kindlier emotions of our nature.
Let us crowd into Its flying hours the
pleasant memories of the past. the hap
piness of the present and the fairest
prospects of the future and make 1t a
bright and gladstone day.
Let us make it, so far as we can n
day of grateful rejoicing, and, while we
partake freely of the bounties of the
year, give loose rein to the sweet sym
pathies of humanity and dispense with
liberal hand and benevolent spirit
to those that have need, so that the
voice of gladness may be heard in
every dwelling. In imitation of the
time honored custom of our fathers
and in obedience to the language of
Scripture, let us "eat the fat and drink
the sweet and send portions to them
for whom nothing is prepared"
