Thanksgiving days may come,
Thanksgiving days may go, but turkeys
must go down forever.
Such sentiment, while sad for the

wear on. With increasing time, the
feasting instead of religious observ-
ance is becoming more general
throughout the country. But little eff
fort is apparently made to alter these
conditions and those Of the old school
hold up their hands in horror. Where
will it all end?" they ask.
True, it may be argued, the Pilgrim
fathers featured great feasts as part OF
their days of general rejoicing, but they
were based on the general religious at
mosphere of the occasion. With such
a realization. uppermost, men OF cloth
