What is known as the shouting of
the churn," comes down from the time
when Apollo was wQrshiped in Eng
land. The churn or kern means a ring
or circle formed by, several persons
holding hands >Fae. word Achurn- also
signifies a chaplet worn around the
head or carried suspended on a pole
in procession. So "the shouting of
the churn' means the merriment that
always accompanied wearing a chaplet
or dancing in a circle.
Another old custom is the kemp.
ing of England, in Scotland called "a
NELL" Nell is sometimes spelled
melee, which is better, as melee,
or row, often resulted from contend
ing for leadership in dispatching the
last days work in the field. Each
reaper left handful of the harvest
uncut, and the bonniest lass was al
lowed to gather these handfuls and to
make out Of them "corn baby" This
was brought home in triumph, set up
in the feast, and preserved for the re-
mainder of the year. The lass was
called the harvest queen. Sometimes
instead of being made into a doll the
products of the field would be formed
into a mare, and the reapers would
amuse the guests by trying to cut
down the mare with their sickles. The
man who succeeded in the undertak-
ing would declare what should be done
with the mare.

lonely. The power to hear what
natures voices have to say is in our
hearts, not merely in the ear. We
fore we can see beauty anywhere
Hence there are many who are really
blind to the loveliness which God has
strewn everywhere, with most lavish
hand, in his works. So we must have
the music in our heart before we can
where for him who has ears to hear.
If we have thanksgiving within us, we
will have no trouble in finding glad
ness wherever we go. It is sad and
cheerless heart that makes the world
seem dreary to certain people; If only
they will let joy enter to dwell within,
new world would be created for
them. If we allow our heart to cher
ish unlovingness, bitterness, evil
thoughts or feelings, we cannot hear
the music of love which breathes
everywhere, pouring out from the
heart of God. But if we keep our
heart gentle, patient, loWly, and kind,
on our ears will fall, wherever we go,
sweet strains of divine music.
Then glad life makes life of
gladness wherever it goes. 1t leaves
an unbroken lane of sunbeams behind
it. Everybody is better as we'll as hap
pier for meeting one whose Christian
life radiates gladness and cheer We
can do nothing better either for our
selves or for the world in which we
live than to learn the lesson of praise
and of thanksgiving. Let us learn to
sing unto the Lord with thanksgiy-
ing There are troubles in every
life. but there are a thousand good
things for one trial. Sometimes we
have disappointments but even these
are really Gods appointments, as
some day we shall find out If people
are unkind to us, we must go on low
ing just as before, our hearts full of
unconquerable kindness, and it will
finally win. The most deep-seated ten
dency to sadness can be overcome and
replaced by happy cheerfulness The
gospel of Christ comes to us and tells
lAoC " 2 UC UOlu d6dll1,
from above born of God, and our very
nature will be recreated. Then d.
vine grace assures us that it is not
impossible even for the most unholy
life to be transformed into holiness.
The being that is saturated with sin
may be whittier than snow. There is no
; nature, therefore, however unhappy
1t may be because of it's original quail
ity or its early training, which cannot
through divine help learn the lesson
of happiness and thanksgiving. The
secret of Christian JOY is the peace Of
| Christ in the heart Then one is not
dependent upon circumstances or con-
| ditions. st. Paul said he had learned
in whatsoever state he was therein to
be content. We know we'll that his
circumstances were not always con-
genial nor easy, but he sang songs in
his prison with as cheerful a heart as
when he was enjoying the hospitality
Of loving friend. There might be
hardships, sufferings. and want; but
in himself he had the peace of Christ;
and this sustained him. st. Paul's
secret of contentment is the Chris
tian's true secret of happy life.

the people were to gather boughs of
cedars and willows of the brooks. 1t
may be from this custom that the
present day decoration Of churches
with greens and vegetables arose.
Herodotus mentions this autumn
custom of thanksgiving, and Homer
writes that "cakes and Jumps of
dough thrown at the head of the sacri-
ficial victim formed part of the
Greek offerings to Apollo, the sun-god,
at the feast Of the ingathering."
In ancient times Apollo received the
honors of the harvest festival, but the
rustics sacrificed to Vacuna, the god
dess. Images of Vacuna were made
of straw, wheat, barley and rye, and
were carried about with singing and
cheering. Even now in England i'm
ages made of straw crowned with how-
ers are occasionally carried about and
called Ceres-the goddess of agricul-
ture. Apollo was formerly worshiped
in Britain, and the May-pole is a
pretty relic Of those days. They dec
Grated it with garlands to welcome the
northward coming of Apollo-the sun
at whose appearance the flowers
and fruit began to grow.
Various customs, all containing the
same idea, have prevailed in different
countries. In Scotland, when the
reapers have finished their work, q
small package of corn, called the
Corn Lady," is hung up in the house.
The ancient Egyptians offered sacri.
fees and made offerings of corn and
wine to Leith, the mother of the sun
Wheat, according to both sacred and
secular history, was the most impor
tant grain grown in Egypt, and the
mode of harvesting it is interesting
Instead of the usual method the reap
ers cut the straw just below the cal
Of corn. 1t was carried in bags to the
threshing floor, where it was trodden
out by oxen. Sometimes the wheat
was reaped in the usual way and

A festival peculiarly dear to Amer

spring Of the mating of two funda-
mental institutions in our social struc-
ture-the Christian church and the
Christian home. From the pioneer
days of early New England all through
the history of subsequent pilgrimages

THANKSGIVING is one of
@VcM our highest and holiest
y E,k duties. There are in the
>@A N Scriptures more CON-
SMlNI mands and calls to praise
~ than to prayer. Yet few
duties are more frequent
~ neglected than this. There are
many people who are always coming
to God with requests but who do not
come to him with thanksgiving after
their requests have been granted. Ten
lepers once cried to Jesus for cleans
ing, as he was passing them at a dis
tance. He graciously heard them and
granted their plea. When they had
been healed, one of the ten returned
to thank the healer, but the other nine
came not again with any word of rec
ognition of the great favor they had
received. So it is continually-many
are blessed and helped, but few show
gratitude. Our Lord felt keenly the
ingratitude of the lepers who re-
turned not. Where are the nine?" was
his panied question. God pours out
his gifts and blessings every day upon
his children; and whenever no voice
of thanksgiving Is heard in return he
misses it. If one bird of the forest
is silent in the glad spring day, he
misses it's song. If one human heart
fails to utter it's praise amid life's
countless blessings, he is disap-
pointed.
Many there are who think that il
certain definite days are set apart for
praise 1t Is enough. For example,
they will be grateful for whole day
once In a year, touching then every
chord of praise in their being, think
ing that this is the way God wants
them to show their gratitude But the
annual Thanksgiving day is not in
tended to gather into itself the thanks
giving for whole year; rather it is
intended to give the keynote for all
the years life. Life's true concert
pitch is praise. II we find that we
are below the right pitch, we should
take advantage of the particular
Thanksgiving seasons to get keyed
up. When the strings of life begin to
grow discordant thanksgiving will put
us in tune.
The ideal life is one of gladness.
Unthankfulness and fretfulness are
discords in the song. We have no
right to live gloomily or sadly. Go
where we may, we hear the music of
joy, unless our ears have become tone
deaf. The world is full of beauty and
full of music. Yet it is strange how
many people seem neither to see the
loveliness nor hear the music 1t
were we'll if many Of us would train
ourselves to see the glory and good
ness of God, as revealed in nature. j.. 1t

Thankfulness as 4 Nece.sitx.

In everything give thanks is not
only a righteous demand which God
makes upon us, but, like all his other
commands, it sets before us a neces-
sity of our own nature. For, until we
learn to give thanks in everything
we cannot be properly thankful for
anything, We cannot have full conf
dence in God and cannot love him in
such a way as to enjoy fellowship
with him.
