Not Copied From the Jews.

Undoubtedly our present Thanks
giving day has its prototype in the
Plymouth thanksgiving festival of
1921. It has been asserted repeatedly
that the Plymouth festival was sug-
igested to the Pilgrims by the Jewish
Feast of Ingathering." That is not
probable. as the differences between
them are more striking than the like
nesses. They were of the same dura-
ton, each lasting week; and in COM
mon with all other harvest festivals
they had the same intent. But in the
Jewish festival sacrifice and worship
were the prevailing characteristics,
while in that Of the Pilgrims they were
entirely wanting.

old AS The RACE STORY OF The 0ll|
Setting Aside a Period for
Thanksgiving Is a Custom
OF Remote Antiquity.

SKGHE idea is prevalent in the Unit
ed States that our Thanksgiving
is peculiarly an American custom
of New England origin. This is true
in part only. The general observance
through many years of a set day on
which to give thanks to Almighty God
for his blessings has made the custom
distinctively American; but its origin
Lang antedates the settlement of the
western continent, and we must look
elsewhere for it. The idea of Thanks
giving day goes back to remotest an
tiQuity. 1t is part of natural religion,
and is probably as old as the human
race. In written records, we have
ample evidence that the festival was
celebrated in connection with 'the
fruits of the earth" by the ancient
Egyptians, the Jews, the Greeks and
the Romans. Long before Luther's
revolt from Rome in the sixteenth CEN
tury it had been observed by the
Christians; and after the Reformation,
Thanksgiving days were in frequent
use by the Professionals, especially
those of England.
The festival appears early in Jewish
history, and, as it was connected with
the land and its possession, may have
had a Canaanitish prototype. It's cele-
bration was annual, and each festival
continued through seven days. At the
beginning two vessels Of silver were
carried in a ceremonious manner to
the temple, one full of water, the other
Of wine, which were poured at the foot
of the altar of burnt offerings, always
on the seventh day of the festival"
Plutarch describes this ceremonial,
which he believed was feast of Bac-
chus. He says: "The Jews celebrate
two feasts of Bacchus. In the midst
of the vintage they spread tables,
spread with all manner of fruits, and
live in tabernacles made especially of
palms and ivy together. A few
days later they kept another festival
which was openly dedicated to Bac-
chus, for they carried boughs Of palms
in their hands, with which they went
into the temple, the Levites going be-
fore with instruments Of music"
Analogous to the Jewish festival
and possibly borrowed from it was
that of the old Greeks, the Thesmor
phia. This was feast to Demeter,
the goddess of the harvest. 1t lasted
nine days and consisted Of sacrifices
Of the products of the soil with obla-
lions of wine, milk and honey" The
ocritus refers to it in the Seventh
Idyll,' where Simichidas says: Nov,
this is our way to the Thalysia; for
our friends, in sooth, are making a
feast to Demeter Of the beautiful
robe, offering the first fruits of their
abundance, since for them in boun-
teous manner, the goddess has piled
the threshing floor with barley"

in interest in what are called the human things
of life. Robert Lansing is baseball fan; he is
also painter Of no mean ability; he knows how
to handle the rod and reel and can land with
neatness and dispatch brook trout small
mouth bass. Moreover, Mr.. Lansing likes the
social life, and not infreQuently he is to be seen
at afternoon affairs when state department duties
are not pressing, and still more frequently at eve
ming affairs where, one might say, he loosens
up bit and talks in way to draw his auditors
and to hold them.
Oswald Garrison Willard has written in the
New York Evening Post this little description of
Mr.. Lansings personal appearance:
''The contrast between Mr. Bryan and his sue
cessor is nowhere more marked than in their
personalities. Mr. Lansing is a handsome man,
with notably fine eyes and winning countenance
that lights up most attractively when he is
amused. He smiles with his eyes well as
otherwise writes Washington reporter about
him, and there is keenness in their expression
which indicates an able and a nimble mind. He
is altogether of grave and digniaed presence,
which is enhanced by his prematurely gray hair
he is only ffty-one. He is well groomed.
stands up straight and looks directly into the
eyes of his questoners Usually he is wearing
the black cutaWay of craftsmanship You feel
instinctively that he is man to tie to, the kind
which shrewd, intuitve women would naturally
seek as counselor. Indeed this title which he
has hitherto borne in the state department tits
him like glove"
In the paragraph which is quoted something Is
said about the secretary of state being hand
some man. Some Washington residents declare
that he is the handsomest man in the cabinet
Others do not agree to this but all admit that the
secretarys way of carrying himself is all that 1t
should be. 1t is perhaps probable that Mr.. Lam
sing knows that he carries himself we'll At any
rate he alone is responsible for his carriage,
while his tailor is responsible In considerable
measure for making the secretary admittedly
the best-dressed man in public life in Washing
ton.
It may be asked who is, or, rather, who was,
Robert Lansing? While the answer is not to be
given In a few words, it is probable that the
secretary of state was comparatively unknown
until he came into prominence in connection
with our delicate dealings with Mexico and with
the other powers, little and great, which re-
Gently have been at trouble among themselves or
