Welcome, Thanksgiving day! What
ever we may think Of New England
theology, we all like New England
Thanksgiving day. What means the
steady rush to the depots and the long
rail trains darting their lanterns along
the tracks of the Boston & Lowell, the
Georgia Central, the Chicago Great
Western, the St. Paul & Duluth and the
Southern railway? Ask the happy
group in the New England farmhouse
Ask the villagers whose song of praise
in the morning will come over the
Berkshire hills. Ask all the planta
tons OF the south which have adopted
the New England custom OF setting
apart a day Of thanksgiving. Oh, i
is great day Of national festivity!
Clap your hands, We people, and shou
aloud for joy! Through the organ
pipes let there come down the thunder
Of nations rejoicing! Blow the cor
net! Wave the palm branches! "Oh
that men would praise the Lord for Hi
Goodness and for His wonderful works
to the children of men,"
Most of the implements of hus
bandry have been superseded by mod
ern inventions, but the pillow has nevel
lost its reign. 1t has furrowed its wa.
through all the ages. Its victories hav,
been waved by the barley of Palestine
the wheat of Persia, the fax of Ger
many, the rice stalks of China, the ricl
grasses of Italy. 1t has turned vi
the mammoth Of Siberia, the mastodol
of Egypt and the pine groves of Thes
sally. Its iron foot hath marche,
where Moses wrote and Homer SAM
and Aristotle taught and Alexande
his war charger. 1t hat
wrung its Golfer on Norwegian wild
and ripped out the stumps of tn
American forest, pushing its wa.
through the savannas of the Carolina
and trembling in the grasp of the Ne'
hampshire yeomanry.
do not wonder that the Japanes
and the Chinese and the Phoenician
10 particularly extolled husbandry o
that Cincinnatus went from the COZ
sulship to the plow or that Noah was
farmer before he became ashipbuilde
or that Elisha was in the field plowin
with IL yoke of oxen when the mantl
ieli on him or that the Egyptians !
their paganism worshiped the OK as
tnler Of their lands.
