Things We Should Be Thankful For.

In the journal of Charles FOllen. one
of the earliest Of German scholars and
idealists to seek this country for an en-
vironment where liberty of thought and
speech might be had, he is found re-
cOrding, among his other impressions of
the New England where he lived, this:
NOV. 29th, 1927: On Thanksgiving day
the members of every family in New
England meet. if possible, at the house
of the head of the family. In the
morning there is service i'll all the
churches. The day is appointed by the
Governor. All congregations are in
vited to celebrate it, and men are re-
quested to abstain from all business
which is inconsistent with the celebra
tioE of the day. The poorest families
are provided for by the rich, on that
day, that they may join i'm the uni
versal rejoicing. Instead of the Easter
lamb. turkey
The abiding value of the day lies in
its response to permanent needs of
men. the need of showing gratitude for
blessings received if our life is to be
saved from Sordidness and selfishness:
the need Of strengthening ties of kim
ship if life is to be saved from anar-
chistic individualism, undermining the
family as well as the state; and the
need of human recognition of Provi-
dence i'm personal and national affairs.
and regular comparison of personal and
national conduct with abiding spiritual
and ethical ideals. All these needs
Thanksgiving day meets if observed in
right spirit.
Never since the pioneers landed on
our shores have we. as people, had so
much in the way Of material prosperity
to be thankful for. or to plan to spend
in wicked Or righteous ways.
Never was the heart of the people so
set upon growth in intelligence, sObri-
ETY., and humane conditions of life for
all men.
Never since we became n nation have
we counted as positively and power

Thanksgiving Verse
A SONG Of the Harvest.

o painter of the fruits and flowers!
We thank Thee for thy wise design,
Whereby these human hands of ours
In Natures garden work with thine.
And thanks that from our daily need
The joy of simple faith is born;
That he who smites the summer weed
May trust Thee for the autumn corn.
Give fools their gold, and knaves their
power
Let fortunes bubbles rise and fall
Who sows a field or trains a flower,
Or plants tree. is more than all.
For he who blesses most is blest;
And God and man shall own his worth
Who tolls to leave as his beauest
An added beauty to the earth.
And, soon or late, to all who sow.
The time of harvest shall be given;
The flower shall bloom, the fruit shall
grow,
If not on earth, at last in heaven.

The Presidents Proclamation.

When nearly three centuries ago the
first settlers came to the country
which has now become this great re-
public, they fronted not only hard
ship and privation. but terrible risk
to their lives. In those grim years the
custom grew of setting apart one day
in each year for a special service Of
Thanksgiving to The Almighty for
preserving the people through the
changing seasons. The custom has
now become national and allowed by
immemorial usage. We live in easier
and more plentiful times than our
forefathers, the men, who with rugged
strength. faced the rugged days; and
yet the dangers to national life are
quite as great now as at any previous
time in our history. 1t is eminently'
fitting that once a year our people
should set apart day for praise and
thanksgiving to the Giver of Good, and,
at the same time, that they express
their thankfulness for the. abundant
mercies received, should manfully &C
knowledge their shortcomings and
pledge themselves selemnly and in
good faith to strive to overcome them.
During the past leaibw have been
blessed with bnlntiful crops. Our
business prosperity lrSs been great. No
other people has ever stood on as high
u level of material well-being as ours
now stands. We are not threatened
by foes from without. The foes from
whom We should pray to be delivered
are our own passions. appetites and
follieS; and against these there is al
ways need that we should war
Therefore l now set apart Thursday,
the Goth day of this November, as a
day of thanksgiving for the past and
of prayer for the future and on that
day l ask that throughout the land
the people gather in their homes and
places of worship. and in rendering
thanks unto the Most High for the
manifold blessings of the past year,
consecrate themselves to life of
cleanliness, honor and wisdom. so that
this nation may do it's allotted work
on the earth in a manner worthy of
those who founded it and of those who
preserved it.
In witness whereof I have hereunto
set my hand and caused the seal of
the United States to be affixed.
Done at the city of Washington this
second day of November in the year
of Our Lord, one thousand nine hum
dred and five. and of the independence
of the United States the one hundred
and thirtieth.

From out of Plenty's heaped chalice
poured
The never ceasing wonder-wealth of

Against the hour of gnawing need up

For the wreathed olive and the sheathed
sword,
That the grim war-god is no more adored.
For peace and brotherhood and dark
hates dearth,
Let us give thanks!
BY paths inscrutable We are guided to-

Higher ideals long ago implored-

Aye inspirations of diviner birth
For this uplifting unto thee, Q Lord.

THE SPIRIT OF THE DAY.
A Few Thoughts by the Coming Of
Our Oldest Holiday.

IL Is d season OIL StduSOHlc tIduilioiio'
Far away as are our lives from those
of the little band of cOlonists of Mas
sachusetts Bay who reverently estab-
lished a day of thanksgiving for
mercies which to us seem no more than
the commonplace of meagre ex-
istence, the spirit of the occasion sur
wives.
Through all the vicissitudes Of our
national development, Thanksgiving
day has been preserved as peculiarly
the New England memorial. For
generations it had sectional Obser-
vance and a limited significance. 1t
was not until the white heat of the
Civil War fused our people of all Sec
lions into a nation homogeneous, that
the New England Thanksgiving was
made that of the whole country.
Since the first proclamation by the
President, calling for the observance
of a day of thanks for the preservation
of the union of the states, the custom
has been maintained; the generation
of today knows it iii this character
alone.
This is the Oldest of our holidays. In
the early times of sectarian intoler-
ance, when church and state were
joined i'm the rule of Massachusetts,
there was no Christmas under the law.
Observance of the natal day of the
Prince of Peace was discouraged, if
not absolutely prohibited, by harsh en-
actments. But the recognition of the
day of thanksgiving was enjoined as a
religious as we'll as civic Obliga-
ton.
All this is changed in the growth of
our people, our Commonwealth, our
nation, to the stature which we see
today. Our whole people unite in the
giving Of thanks: and if the religious
element is given less prominence in
the form with which the day is OBJ
served, in the hearts of all there is no
less reverent gratitude for the bene-
factions with which the Power which
rules the universe has crowned the life
of peoples and of individuals in this
happy age.
We must be glad. everyone of us. that
we live today. The condition of hui
mainly is not perfect; there are cruel
exceptions to universal human felicity;
but the advance has not only been
great but steady and full of marvellous
promise for the race. And as for the
immediate present. we have only. to
compare existing conditions Of physi-
cal comfort. Of intellectual improve
ment, of moral and social uplifting,
with those enjoyed by our predecessors.
to feel a wave of cOngratulation surge
over our hearts.
Personally, many of us may feel that
fortune, or Providence, has dealt
harshly with us during the past year.
There have been disappointments. per-
haps grevious Affections, whose pain is
not yet dulled. Let such summon up
the resources of the faith that sus-
tanned the men of the first Thanksgiv-
ing days. VINO felt as we'll as be-
lieved that whom the Lord loveth
them he chasteneth;" and let all look
forward straight into the future where
the sun shines with glory and
gracious warmth unknown to the race
of mankind at any period before this
favored century.-Boston Post.
