OFFER UP THANKS
People Of Switzerland Oevout in
Their Gratitude for Har-
vest Blessings.
EDNA P. hALLoRAN.

THANKSGIVING in Switzerland is
movable feast. coming at the end
Of the harvest season. and usually
falling on Sunday in the middle of
October The country is at the height
Of its beauty In this month. the
chrysanthemums are in full bloom in
every garden. the terraced vineyards
are showing autumn colors. and there
Is golden haze over the rugged noun.
tains. A feeling Of peace and plenty
prevails: the harvest Is garnered. the
wine is made. and the people OF this
thrifty little country are grateful for
the earth's bounties.
1t may hot be entirely according to
our ideas of artistic decorating to
have the interior of the churches on
Thanksgiving Sunday resemble mar
ket place, but nevertheless the right
spirit is at bottom. In place Of flow
ers. strings Of apples are festooned
from arch to arch. clusters Of grapes
adorn available corners the altar and
pulpit are banked with every kind of
vegetable, carrots, turnips and even
cabbages being used. Song prayers
are offered in gratitude and thanksgiv.
ing for the good harvest and lengthy
sermon Is delivered appropriate to the
occasion. The sur, outside is warm
and the air inside Is heavy. laden with
a strong odor of the Marche. At the
end of the last hymn one hastens glad.
ly into the open.
The Sabbath stiffness of the after.
noon is broken by the blare of brass
band. A long procession winds its way
about the narrow streets, followed by
a crowd of men, women and children.
for the Swiss people have the love of
a small boy for parade. and they in
dulge themselves in their fancy on
every possible occasion. On this day
the procession goes from church to
church, stopping in front of each one,
while the band plays few selections.
The crowd is not particularly atten.
tive, but 1t makes up for that lack in
good humor. Small groups stand about
tho church square, talking and laugh.
ing, until the last number is finished,
and then take up their position in the
rear of the cortege and follow it on
to the next church.
Thus the day wears on, in gratitude
for the bounties of nature. A strange
Thanksgiving and simple one com.
pared to our historic holiday and our
elaborate manner of celebrating it, but
beneath the surface runs the same
undercurrent of sincere gratitude.

PUzZLE-FIND THE TURKEY
English Harvest Homes.

II the Plymouth festival has imme-
diate kinship with similar events in
the past, it has analogies with the Har.
vest Home of England, which may re-
late them. The Pilgrims were famil.
lar with the English celebration. and
many of them, no doubt, had partici.
pated in it. The dominant mark of
each was the Joy over the ingathering
harvest. In some districts in England,
too. the festival had continued a week.

tival, says: Neither doth good cheers

THE FIRST
THANKSGIVING
By 7: C. Harbaugh

Long ago the Pilgrim Fathers
In the forests cold and gray.
With the fesslpests roaring
round them,
Kept the first Thanksgiving
Day:
Near their homes the sDar.
vhoop sounded,
But they hesded not the cry,
Az they kneit with prayer and
anthem
Meath the dark and stormy
sky.
Fleeing far from foul oppres-
Unto Frsedon,,s land they
Where they raised their holy
alfars
Burning s0ith a sacred flame;
And they taught their gentle
children,
Mid the dasIiins Of the spray,
To loving keep and beautiful,
Euery year, Thanksgiving
Day.
IN the din, aisles Of the forest,
Where the oaks their
branches spread,
The sDild deer and the panther
Heard the words the Pill
gri11s said;
And the hymns that fLoafed
skysuard
Echoed s.Deetly far auvay,
Till the dusk. descending
softly,
Cro.uned the first Thanks
giving Day.
They .uere stern, those grand
old Pilgrims,
Men .Oho harked to Free
don's call,
And amid the snosOs of
Plymouth
Kept the Day beloued BY all;
In the bleak New England
Woodlands,
Lit BY Autun,n's feeting ray,
To CoLun1bia's 3 chosen children
There they gaue Thanksgiving
Day.
We hold it slpeet and holy still
From lUhere the pine trees
groW
To vhere the golden orange
slUings
In lands depoid of snov;
From the rocks of proud
Atlantic,
Where the tempest filings.
its spray, .,, -.
To the sum kissed, mild Pacific
Millions keep Thanksgiving
Day.
Blessings on the Pilgrim
Fathers!
They .Dho sought a home afar,
And buiIded them an altar
In the beams Of Freedoms
Let their memories be sacred
Though their GraUes are far
dlOay,
For the legacy they, left US
Is our first 7 7hanksgiuing Day.

In taking this step. the board points
to the fact that such action is in har-
mony with the widespread public pol
