Undoubtedly our present Thanks
giving day has its prototype in the
Plymouth thanksgiving festival of
1921. 1t has been asserted repeatedly
that the Plymouth festival was sug.
gested to the Pilgrims by the Jewish
Feast of lngathering." 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 a 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.
