FAMOUS FAST AND FEAST.
One Preceded and One Followed the
Civil War.

One Preceded and One Followed the
Civil War.
Queerly enough, both national fasts
and national Thanksgiving were af-
fected by the civil war President
Buchanan appointed a day of national
fasting and prayer to avert civil war.
Republican governors of states in some
instances ignored 1t and In others took
notice Of it in way to rub their Ideas
against Buchanan and his party into
their proclamations. Democratic gov
ernors, south and north, under the
form of an appeal to the Deity, eau
terized Republicanism to the best Of
their ability.
AS President Buchanan called the
nation to prayer to avert civil war, SO
did President Lincoln call 1t to thanks
giving for victories In a civil war, to
the end that more victories might
bring union and peace. OF course, as
Mr.. Buchanan was ignored or satirized
in antipathetic political quarters In the
north, 80 was President Lincoln crit
cised and even abused in the south,
where the Union forces were not in
control. But as Mr.. Buchanan was
the pioneer in a national fast day and
as Mr.. Lincoln was the pioneer in ma
tional thanksgiving days 1t is well to
remember that sectional conditions In
a sectional war moved both and that
the great national observance which
we now have was born in the throes of
fratricidal civic contention.-Brooklyn
