Thanksgiving Day and Christmas
were brought to my mind by reflect
ing upon the in which these
two events are kept, or celebrated.
If Thanksgiving Day is generally
kept in other places as it is kept
about here, it is my honest opinion
that people had a thousand times bet
ter work that day. 1t is generally
kept, as some n from South Caro-
lima said, by a continual "bang!

of both town and country are partici-
pants in this kind of celebration;
PEOPLE of the world and people of
the church-professing Christians.
Thankful indeed!
If they did these things because
they were suffering for something to
eat, they would perhaps be more ex-
cusable; but such is not the case;
they do it for sport. And what an
abominable idea it is to think of find
