Feast Of the TabernaoIes.

The fenst of the tabernacies in the
Old Testament times was also har-
vest celebration and took place on the
seventh day Of the month, which cor
responds to our November, sometimes
lasting for a whole week. They gath

were booths decorated with the flow
ers and fruits OF autumn.
Among the Indians of America the
custom of having a Thanksgiving feast
wns practically uniyersal--at least
among those who had any amount OF
planting. AS corn was the main arti-
Gle grown. their dances and feasting
were generally in honor OF the har-
yesting OF that food. The writers OF
several hundred years ago who first
studied the Indian on his native heath
all speak OF these festivals and the
elaborate ceremonial with which they
were attended. While most Of the
tribes have vanished as such, there are
still some left on government reserya-
lions which observe. though possibly
in a modified degree, the ancient Gus

Ia an Old Institution.

Despite popular opinion to the con-
trary, Thanksgiving day as an insti-
tuition is not peculiarly American.
For history shows that all ancient ma
lions used to celebrate some feast of a
thanksgiving nature. while most Of the
tribes Of our American Indians had
big gathering and a harvest feast
years before the white man ever set
foot on the shores of the new world.
by the Greeks and Romans the fes-
tiyai days in honor Of the goddess OF
agriculture were times Of rustic sport,
Of professions through the fields and
the decorating Of the home with fruits
and flower The people Of Egypt en-
joyed time Of feasting after gather

fruits Of the year on the altar of the
Goddess Isis.

E WILD TURKEY CALLS-THE REAL THANKSGIVING BIRD

The earth is in process and we still
have earthquakes and volcanic erup-
tons
Humanity, too, is in process, and
strife and sorrow and death viii con
tinue to be its lot. We must face life
resolutely and meet destiny undls-
mayed.
This year we will not be thankful
so much for the blessings we have re-
ceived, for the things that have been
given TO us--for being pampered by IA
prodigal Providence--and being re-
ieved Of our burdens. as we will be
thankful for the strength TO bear them.
In the shrine of our hearts our deep
est prayer is not that we shall be re-
lleved Of our burdens; but that we
shall be given the strength to bear
them. for we are great In the degree
and the manner in which we face our
tasks and perform them. The Great
Souls are those that have suffered
and endured.
Our Thanksgiving this year win be
no perfunctory, infantile prattle be-
cause OF safety.
This is a year OF reckoning with
fate; OF being thankful If we. our
selves. have not fallen In the wreck
age. We are thankful not for what
has happened; but for what has not
happened.
Life is not a trivial pastlme, Ii Is
deadly earnest II is the course that
destiny takes. and let us be thankful,
not for less OF life. but for more of it,
and the courage, the fortitude, the
strength, and the persistence to meet
It's difficulties and continue it's course
undauntcd by disaster and unspoiled
w success.
We are thankful for Character. not
charity. and for iron Wills that have
not been broken by the inevitable -

"HIS is the week OF Thanksgiving.
Thanksgiving day is an Ameri-
can custom started by the PHI
grims who landed on the new
continent and faced hardships which
few can realize who are reared In
the wealth and luxury of the land to-
day.
The season had been a hard one.
Many had died and the prospect of
starvation during the cold winter with
its ice and snow doomed large So,
when the harvest yielded enough TO
keep them until another season would
produce the necessities of life, they
met that last Thursday in Novemit, =
in year 1921, and gave thanks TO their
God. who had remembered them.
Thankfulness is usually In inverse
ratio 10 the value of the thing for
which we give thanks. This is no dis
arrangement of the things we are crate
full for; but humanity does not think
of thanks until II has felt the terrors
of distress.
The rich who live In luxury and ease
do not thank with their hearts. Their
thanks are but formal expressions of
meaningless words. How can words
mean anything when one has not felt
the things which make for thankful.
nessY
But the poverty-stricken who have
faced starvation pour out thanks from
their humble hearts for the things
that have saved their lives.
Those who live in gorgeous homes
with comfortable fireplaces do not
think of thanks. But those who live
in the little howell with big cracks In
the walls and crevices about the doors
and windows and without fuel, give
thanks for the comfort of fire.
We do not prize health until we have
lost 1t. and we do not appreciate life
until we have faced the danger Of hav-
ing to give II up.
That which We have we are likely to
accept as a matter OF course; but be
deprived ofsit and the sudden realiza-
ti0n of it's value Jars our souls like an
earthquake.
We are thankful IN the full sense OF
the WOru Tor th1ngs necessary 10 life
and happiness onls when We have had
10 do without them.
We are not thankful for that 10
which we are accustomed and accept
th0ughtessly. But when we are de-
prlved Of the necessities Of life and
face the hardships, including death
that come as result. we are thankful
with all our heart.
America has more TO be thankful for
yearly, than any other nation In the
world; hut our thanks are tempered
by the gravity Of the sorrow Of our
neighbOrs.
The year has not been one Of great
happiness, peace and prosperity. II is
q year Of travail for humanity-the
travail Of a people being born again.
But out Of It viii come disciplined
and sober people; people who viii
know the realities of life better.
We will learn that life Is serious
matter and no silly, simpering affair.
The war has brought US again to an
understanding Of the terrible earnest
ness Of the thing we call life.
