be observed as day Of thanksgiving
and prayer throughout the country,
a custom which had its origin with

Good Friday, as fasting will not be
one of its features, but. on the con-
trary, feaSting, when the bountlcS OF
a magnificent Creator who has so
abundantly provided for our ncccSsl-
ties ana accompanied the same with
MANY luXuries during the year should
receive the thanks Of His creatures.
We live in a day when JonahS are
rot c:yirg out against modern Nine
vchs. and there is always mere OF
less thoughtlessmeSs in the world, as
we'll as murmuring and complaining
when things arc not going on 20 our
Satisfaction A day Of thanksgiving
and prayer is IN order to cause Us to
stop. think and realize the signal
blessings which have so long been
continued 10 the United States as a
nation as we'll as to its inhabitants
individually.
Long before the Pilgrim Fathers
were heard Of aborigincs in the wlidS
Of North America recognized the
Great Spirit and made wave offerings
of the first fruits of their crops
thus showing their thaukfuness fol
the blessings of the Creator.
If the poor Indian, with his untu

thanks to the Buuntlful Girer OF All
the members OF the white race, wht
