autumn of 1921, set aside the day to mark the beginning of a season of prayer and gratitude In that first celebration the fact, it was much Ike the harvest festivals that are still held in the country districts of many lands.
 Two years later, after a severe drought, rain came in answer to their prayers, and another day of thanksgiving was held. Then again, three years later, when help arrived in the nick of time from England, day was appointed to mark their gratitude, and after that the custom seems to have been recog- nized annually"
 The present writer is much inclined to think that there are at least a couple of errors in the above, although 1t is possible that day has been observed annually in the state of Massachusetts. Unfortunately, authentic books of reference are not too many, nor very handy, and many which are within reach show that one authority copied after another without any attempt at verihcation from original sources.
 The date of 1921 is one of the things which authorities clearly have copied one from the other, and while it is undoubtedly correct in a way, it is ignored by the high est general authority. Save some historian who delves after that certain specific point, there is no authority so high as C. E. Lit tie, in his Dictionary of Dates, and 1t gives the first Thanksgiving day as February P, 1630, because of arrival of ship from Eng land with provisions"
 This day would seem to tally with the last mentioned day from the newspaper writer above quoted, but would fix the day some four years later.
 The Pilgrim Fathers gave thanks on September G. l645, for the cessation of h. dian hostilities
 The next date of thanksgiving which was historically important enough to get into the books was November 26, 175S, be cause the French are driven out of Fort Duquesne and the valley of the Ohio and the great West are opened for the advance ment of English settlers" This was not on Thursday, but was the fourth Sunday of he month

 A thanksgiving day of some sort is doubt less coeval with the earliest days of crea- ton, when Adam, in recovering from his great shock at the conduct of Eve, had so much reason to be thankful that 1t was no worse, but the Thanksgiving day, as it is known in the United States, must date its inception from the early part of the sev- enteenth century, and its birth and bloom from Lincoln's proclamation of 1863
 One newspaper writer, in speaking of the origin of Thanksgiving day, says:
 'It was not at that time intended to be an annual feast, nor was it supposed to be an occasion for general merry making. It was rather day appointed for entirely rellgiouos purposes in order to give the settlers at Plymouth an opportunity to ex- press their heartfelt gratitude for the per ills they had passed and for the bounties they were then enjoying
 ''They had escaped from the persecu- tions of the English church and had been permitted to settle down and make new home for themselves far from the foe who had made their lives such burden.
 They were now, for the first time, al lowed to worship God in their own way and according to their own consciences. They had had their first year in what was to them wilderness It had been long and a hard one; they were surrounded by savages, with whom they were, fortunately, at peace; their fields had yielded them enough grain to support them in comfort during the coming winter, and their houses were built warmly and strong.
 Therefore, with the religious fervor which had prompted them to such sacri fees they considered it fitting that they should return to God some thanks for what hey coD:idered His many blessings.
