HISTORY OF HOLIDAY
DR.. O. F. GREGORY SPEAKS OF
THANKSGIVING DAY.
Special Services Were Held at Adams
Street Baptist Church Last
Night-Collect for the
Evergreen orphanage.

To enable the congregation Of the
Adams Street Baptist Church to join in
the union services at Dexter Avenue
Methodist Church at IL o'clock this morn
ing. special thanksgiving services were
held last night in lieu Of the regular
prayer meeting.
The pastor, DIR. o. F. Gregory. spoke
from Psalm Xviii, 0. I'VE have thought
of thy loving kindness. o God, in the
midst OF thy temple"
He said: The first thanksgiving ser
vices were held by Church Of England
men. Colonists landed August 9th on
Monhegan. near the Kennebec, in Maine,
and under the shadow Of q high cross
listened to a sermon from Chaplain Sey-
mour, giving good thanks for our happy
meetings. and safe arrival into the coun-

joice together There was none observed
In 1922. In July, 1923, day Of thanksgiv-
Ing was observed on the arrival of pro-
visions from the mother country There
Is no record Of any~observance of the day
for fifty years, unless 1t was by indi-
yidual churches or communities.
From 1894 to 1854 irregular sessions OF
Thanksgiving were held for victories over
the Indians, for successful harvests. and
on the arrival OF ships.
THE first regular observance by State
was In New York, November II, 1875, be-
ing the Thursday after the cattle were
driven home from the pastures. For
many years the day has been observed
with religious services in all the States
of the Union, but gradually the day has
lost much Of its religious character. and
has been made a day Tor personal pleas
ure, and social gatherings. Many do not
observe the day at ALL"
DR.. Gregory followed this historical
sketch with reasons for thanksgiving,
which should fill the nearts of the people
and cause them to practically remember
those who have not been so highly IA
vored.
A collection was made for the Baptist
Orphanage at Evergreen.
