In 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
tons used to celebrate some feast OF a
thanksgiving nature, while most Of the
tribes Of our American Indians had a
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-
tival days In honor of the goddess Of
agriculture were times Of rustic sport,
Of professions through the fields and
the decorating4of the home with fruits
and flowers. The people of Egypt en-
joyed a time of feasting after gather
ing in their harvests and laid the
fruits of the year on the altar Of the
Goddess Isis.

And that is sacred to the saint.
