A THANKSGIVING CRITIC.

A controversy. which IS peculiar to
say the least has developed about the
Presidents Thanksgiving proclamation
Somebody IN Chicago choraclerizes 1t
as pagan" because the President IN
specifying certain blessings for which
he thinks. the nation ought TO be
thankful, implies that other experiences
in our national Ne are Of nature
not to promp, 20 gratitude. This. the
critic holds, Is 'paganIsm' For. the
Christian attitude. he argues, is to rec
ognze all the acts of tho Lord as good
whether or not they appear so on the
surface
This Is Of course, true, but the arsu-
ment Is nevertheless an illustration OF
the fact that even a truth can be en-
ployed by sophlstry as a means of es-
tabllshlng a wrong conclusion This Is
very often attempted, and many are
deceived IN that way. II should be
evident 10 all who reflect on what they
read. that because they are reminded
Of some special blessings for which to
be thankful. they are not asked TO for
get others. but that kind Of reasoning
Is a sample OF much thar appears IN the
daily prints as logic.
From ancient times people were re-
quired to set apart certain days Of the
year In order to commemorate impor-
tant events. Some were seasons OF
repentance and atonement; others We're
times Of thanksgiving and rejoicing.
The Feast OF Tabernacles, for In
stance. was TO remind Israel of the
years In which their fathers dwelt in
tents In the wilderness, and It was "A
feast OF ingathering,' that Is, Of
fruit and vine, being the termination Of
the agricultural year. II was the great
est feast Of rejoicing of the year, and
numerous sacrifices were prescribed "a
features OF the celebration Splendid
ceremonies were added, especially the
libation OF water and the illumination
Of the court OF the sanctuary. No one,
We presume, VIII characterize the Mo-
sale ceremonial law as pagan, because
1t provided for special days on which to
remember special blessings,
The fact is that the observance OF
Thanksgiving Is In itself a proof OF the
religious needs Of the nation A Catho-
lie publication draws a comparison be-
tween the prevailing sentiment here,
and in France, In the latter country,
that journal says. the very name Of
God IL now boycotted. 1t has been
erased from the schoolbooks lest the
children should be familiar with IT, We
find IN a French exchange an article
showing to what extent this has been
done The article gives the alterations
that have been made recently I'm a
grammar that Is used In the French
schools. In every case where the word
God occurred some other word has been
substituted for IT, Thus for the SEM
tence God is merclful 20 sinners there
has been substituted Wheat Is useful
for man.. What would cause pro-
found sensation In France Is accented
as matter Of fact in the United
states and when the President declares
that It is eminently proper to set apart
a day for praise and Thanksgiving to
the Oliver Of good, he but voices the
sentiments Of Bis countrymen."
This is true. ana We hope the day viii
never come when the American people
forget 10 acknowledge the Almighty
In all things.

The public use OF the toothpic< is
Enthusiastically American. In no

so common In The United states that
even In homes ~ otherwise cultured
