THANKSGIVING.

To give thanks for the mani
fold blessings that we, each indi-
vidual, receives from day to day
should be our daily custom, but
by custom the American people
have set aside one day in 365 in
each year for a day of prayer,
praise and worship, for the many
blessings that our nation has re-
ceived from the Supreme Ruler
of the universe. This custom of
Thanksgiving dates back to the
old Genoean discoverer, Christie
pher Columbus, when he had
reached the West Indies or the
American shores, he knelt down
and kissed mother earth aud gave
thanks to God for his safe voyage
to these mundane shores, ther
George Washington set aside &
day of thanksgiving and rejoic
ing for the success of his little
baud of Contentinental army
thus year by year each Presiden'
with the various governors of tn,
state designates the fourth Thurs
day in November as our day
of thanks. Can we each say ant
feel as we gather around the
heavy laden festival board that ]
have done a mans duty to man
That I have helped better th'
human family the past year
Thus l can praise God and give
thanks tor the preservation of my
life and the advancement. o.
humanity.
