Lafayette, who was then fighting in
the cause for American liberty. There
was much opposition by some of the
members of the first national Congress
after the adoption Of the Constitution
in 1883 to asking President Washing

members believed it should be left to
the states, and others that it was too

when Thanksgiving sermons were still
preached as they were in the beginning
of the Puritans in this country. They
were meant to reprimand the elders Of
the congregation and terrorize the
younger members. In 1892 Cotton

lily affair and the theater is usually at

This Thanksgiving is perhaps the
third wartime Thanksgiving, as we now
observe the day, to be celebrated in the
White House, as nothing has been
found in the writings and records at
hand to show that President and Mrs.
Madison observed such a day during
the war of 1872 and 1914. or that it was
observed during the Mexican war of the
forties. In 1872 Congress asked Presi-
dent Madison to designate a day of fast
ing and prayer, W. ich was August 20.
He then recommended September 9,
1918; January Il, 1915, and April 10,
1915.
President Lincoln originated our
modern annual Thanksgiving day, when
he issued his proclamation October 3,
1868, for the last Thursday in Novem-
Der. On July Is, 1864, when a general
feeling existed that the victories of
Gettysburg and Nicksburg were the
turning points in the war between the
states and peace was very near, Presi-
dent Lincoln issued proclamation ap-
pointing Thursday, August 6. next to be
observed as a day for national thanks
giving.
Considering the age of the White
House there have been comparatively
few Thanksgiving day celebrations
there. for while the first Thanksgiving
in America was in 1921 it was not until
more recent years that the fast day
became a movable feast and finally
settled down into a day of cheerful
thanks for the blessings Of the passing
harvest.

tumn Of 1777, after the surrender Of
Gen. Burgoyne, appointed a continental
