through the relentless winter, battling
with snow and wind, savage foes, hun

three months their number was almost
one-half of the entire company. But
with the spring time life looked more
kindly upon the exiles; summer smiled
on their corn fields, and autumn
brought abundant harvest. A few little

CLOSE TO HEARTS

Particular Reason Why Thanks

~ comes to us this week-Oldest in
our history because the Puritan
fathers celebrated 1t when they did
not celebrate Christmas, best beloved
because it is holiday all our own,
typically American through and
through. Nations all over the world
celebrate Christmas, New Years and
Easter. Even our Independence day
has its echo in the French July IA, but
Thanksgiving day is the entire proper
ty Of the American people, and per-
haps this adds the extra luster which
makes it a day apart in the heart Of
every citizen.
Its origin was in the farms, where
the harvest season was closed with a
day set aside for the giving of thanks
for the crops just harvested. In real
ity it Is national harvest festival, but
its meaning has come to cover more
than just the harvest season alone.
the rendition of thanks for the bless
ings of the entire year.
We find that during the Revolution
the observance of this day for giving
thanks had become so general that
congress recommended each year o
Thanksgiving day. This was an an
nual occurrence until the end of the
war, when a day was set aside in
1884, for rendering thanks for the re-
turn Of peace. Again in 1889 Wash
ington appointed day Of thanksgiving
for the adoption Of the Constitution.
1t was in this year also that the Epis-
copal church formally recognized the
right of the civil government to rec
ommend such feast day.
