The struggle of the colonies for In
dependence marks the beginning OF
general observances Of days Of thanks
giving In this country. The congress
OF 1711, the n which prepared the
articles OF confederation for adoption
by the colonies, adopted a resolution
setting apart the 18th day of December,
1I1l, to be observed as a day Of solemn
Thanksgiving and praise t%hrougout the
United States.
George Washington during his ad-
ministration issued two Thanksgiving
proclalnatiOns, II in 1889 and the
other just after the suppression Of the
whisky rebellion,' which had threat
ened the peace Of the country, and
President Madison issued one upon the
declaration of peace in 1915. However.

ton for the next Thanksgiving, which
occurred on the 10th Of February, 1895,
he used this phrase: "Sincere and
hearty thanks to the Great Ruler Of
nations for the manifold and signal
mercies which distinguish our lot"
Subsequent presidents called upon
the people Of the country to observe
such a day Of thanksgiving, but it was
not until the presidency Of Abraham
Lincoln that the observance became q
fixed event and the last Thursday Of
November was recognized as an an
nual public holiday.
Unique Holiday.
Thanksgiving day as a holiday is
unique in character. There is no rec
ord OF any other country that annually
appoints a day for its people to give
thanks to the Supreme Ruler Of the
universe for blessings received.
There have been thanksgiving days
in other countries, but these We're ap-
pointed at irregular intervals and due
to various causes and events. Such a
day was observed In Leyden, Holland,
on Oct. 3, 1919. the first anniversary
of the %deliverance Of that city from
siege. England also had a thanks-iv-
ing day over the defeat Of the Spanish
armada, in 1888, during the reign OF
Queen Elizabeth.
Then. too, in a number Of %Oriental
countries it has been the custom to
set apart a day to celebrate the birth
Of an heir, the birthday of the rulers
or a victory in battle. But the Ameri-
can Thanksgiving day is a distinct
feast day, a survival OF the festival
originating amid sorrow and adversely
in the little settlement Of Plymouth
bay nearly three centuries ago.

NhcrcVer Americans are gathered
together on THANKSGIVING day in for
eign countries there is sure to be an
elaborate observance Of the %epicurcau
