friends to dinner, and the only food

friends to dinner, and the only food
upon the spacious table was CLANS.
In asking the blessing at the family
table, he thanked God who had
given them to suck the abundance Of
the seas and OF the treasures hid In
the sands. All that spring. when
the tides were right. they would rise
before daylight, pray until it was
light enough to fish, and hunt the
shores for clans. One Of the most
charitable men of the times appears
to have been Governor Winthrop,
who was known to have given to a
distressed neighbor 1.-THE last handful
Of meal" when a ship with supplies
was sighted In the harbor.
Another interesting Thanksgiving
service was held in Old Scituate on
December %, 1886. The authority
for this mention is the church record,
as follows:
I'm We Westinghouse, beginning
some halle hour before nine & con-
tinuing until after twelve aclocke,
We day being very cold, beginning VT
a short prayer, then psalme sang,
then more large in prayer, after that
an other Psalme & then the Word
taught, after that prayer then a
psalme. Then making merry to the
creatures, the poorer sort being in
vited of the richer" This meeting
is worthy of emulation. On the 18th
of the following October services
were conducted in the same manner.
In the year 1912 Governor William
Shirley proclaimed two services. In
1746, when the French fleet had
threatened the colony, "a fast day of
thanksgiving" was held in Eve old
South Meeting house." Boston.
Thomas Prince stood up in "publick
prayer" when, in the language Of the
poet, the storm
"Came with mighty power,
Shaking the windows and walls,
And tolling the bell in the tower
AS. it tolls at funerals"
Soon the "Sons of Liberty" were
organized, and divisions came among
the churches, yet both "Tory" and
Rebel" held their annual Thanks
giving. 1t was in 1771 that Gov
ernor Hutchinson issued his famous
proclamation, which in part said that
he was thankful for "the continuance
of our civil and religious privileges. -
On November 18, 1777, the Con-
tinental Congress proclaimed the first
National Thanksgiving Day. We
find that honorable body expressing
profound gratitude that God had
been pleased to smile on us in the
Prosecution Of just and necessary
War, for the Defense and Establish
ment Of our unalienable Rights and
Liberties. +" Il
After the Constitution had been
adopted, a day was set apart, as re-
solved by Congress, that the people
be thankful for the goodness of God.

deer killed by the natives, together
with the fowl killed by the "four
good shots from the Colony" fur
nished food for the festivities that
lasted nearly a week. Games were
played, athletic sports were enjoyed,
and some little time was spent in
military feats. The natives were
much amused over the games of
"stool-ball' and "pitch-ye-bar. as
taught by Governor Bradford.
The year 1922 brought distress
and misfortune to the Pilgrims.
Crops were poor, the winter exceed
ingly cold, and they prayed "long
and often" for their "dayly brade. "
The Thanksgiving of that year was
also attended by several of the "most
wise" Indians. We find it recorded
that "a day was appointed by publick
authority and set apart from all other

employments" to pray to God for His
favor upon an Inflated people. The
morning was most beautiful one.
The skies were clear. The whole day
was spent in fasting and prayer. It
then rained with soft, sweet, mod
crate showers, mixed with seasonable
weather, as it was hard to say
whether our withered corn or droop-
ing affections were most quickened
and revived, such was We bounty and
goodness of God" 1t was amid these
rains that Captain Myles Standish
went northward to secure provisions
of the Friendly Indians" Upon his
return he brought large amount Of
provisions. He also reported that
the ship supposed to have been lost
had been sighted. This gave great
joy to the colonists. Relative to the
same we quote:
Having these many signs of Gods
favor and acception, another solemn
day was set apart and appointed,
wherein we returned glory and
honour and praise with thankfulness
to our good God who had dealt so
graciously with u.s."
Each year the Plymouth colony
held thanksgiving. Passing on, we
notice the arrival Of John Winthrop
and his associates, very religious
people. They, too, held a day OF
"publick worship and thanksgiving. !"
We find that on February %, 1880,
the first Thanksgiving is proclaimed
IN Boston. The winter had been
very cold and hard one. Many
deaths had taken place, the record
Of which is unknown to history. Rev.

On the 28th Of November, 1889, it
was voted that the last Thursday in
November be set apart for day Of
Thanksgiving. Thus we have a ma
tional holiday for public worship.
AS each year came around, the day
was more noticed by the members of
all churches, until at the present time
the pages of the leading magazines
