The special Thanksgiving services
held at the Congregational church on
Sunday evening, Nov. 81, were unusual
ly interesting A new feature for this
vicinity was the local orchestra, which
was made up OF local talent as follows:
Roger Eastman, violin; Philip Tucker,
clarionet; Arthur Bradeen, trombone;
Mary Bpnney, organ. This was their
first public appearance as an orchestra,
and they did finely and rendered much
assistance in the musical part of the
program. A quartete composed Of
Rev. and Mrs. J. n. Atwood and Mr..
and Mrs. Arthur L. Palmer rendered
three selections in good manner. Solos
by Ernest Stetsop, Mary Bonney and
Helen Mason, duets by Muriel Palmer
and Gladys Buck, aud one by the Misses
Mary and Hester Bonney, reading BY
Hon. W. II Eastman, "How the church
was built at Keho," all we'll presented,
and an apprecistive audience made the
occasion truly delightful one for all
present.
No public services at the churches on
Thanksgiving Day, as that old Puritan
custom has become nearly obsolete in
the country. The "wimen folks" are
busy at home, and what is dry service
without women worth?
We well remember with tedious i'm
pressions, the long, dry, Thanksgiving
Day services at the old church on the
"Hill" seventy or so years ago. A few
cracked male voices 'executed"-
Broad il the road that leads to death"
to the tune Of Windham. WASN'T
there once powder mill at Windham?)
Seems as though smelled powder then.
At any rate. We were frequently remind
ed of birthstone. Aud during all this
tedious service our mouth was banker
ing for that chicken pie and plum pud-
ding at home. Oh dear, will the glad
amen ever come?
Well, all things Except the war in Eu-
rope) have an end, and after the glad
"amen" and the old mare "p'inted" to-
ward home, il seemed as though the
glorious millennium was about TO dawn.
Though fast approaching the four
score mark, we don't banker for the days
of yore, nor wish to yore them over
again. Let us feel thankful that times
have cbanged-snd for the better, We
believe.
The American people never had great
er reason for thankfulness than at the
present season. We thank God that our
republic is peaceful and prosperous with
President Wilson at its head.
