THE DAY OF THANKSGIVING.

Giving of thanks be made for all
men, st. Tim. 81.
This national day joins us to the
past, and calls to memory those who
have gone before. They toiled, they
dared, they suffered, they sacrificed,
tl.ose men of long ago, that they might
find and build and maintain our coun-
try. We are inclined to interpret this
day in the light of the more recent
history of our country. But why
should we seek to limit this day to
the Plymouth Fathers? Columbus and
many unknown men of faith had dar-
ed the unknown sea before 1920. We
owe a debt of thanks to the Indians,
for they have contributed to the sue
cess of Thanksgiving Day. Not only
has our country been developed on
lands belonging to them, but they
have also made certain definite gifts.
They taught the early settlers how
to develop the resources of the new
land, to make the canoe and the snow
shoe, in tutoring the white man in the.
spirit of democracy and intoxicating in
him the love of the open.
The following story is in print A
man Of wealth whom the people had
dubbed a miser gave a Thanksgiving
feast to those who had most bitterly.
criticized him. The fifty invited most
promptly accepted his invitation and
the man sent them away thoughtful
and thankful and critical only of them
selves. His great dining room was
appropriately decorated but for one
unusual addition; at the end of the
long room was white curtain.
When the oysters had been served,
the lights went out and upon the
screen the guests watched women
gathering oysters. shivering kneedeep1
had been served, fishing schooner
off the banks was seen laundering in

place was in the schoolroom or sum

er the meat course the stockyards
were shown and the miserable homes
close beside the works So with each
course came the accompanying pic

ate. The miser is said to have paid

ORGAN RECITALS
TO Be Continued


On Thursday evening, December S,
at s O'Clock, will occur the third pro
gram in the Christian church winter
series of organ recitals. This recital
will be given by Miss Alice Harrison,
organist of Central Union church, and
will be a program of modern organ
music. Miss Harrison is well enough
known to need no special comment
here Everyone will want to hear her
performance on this new Austin or
gan.
These recitals are drawing large
and enthusiastic audiences. If the
church proper cannot hold all the peo-
pie who are interested, there is al
ways plenty of room on the large
open lanais which surround the main
auditorium on three sides, and the
music is just as effective there as it
is inside. If you don't believe it, come
and hear for yourselves.
These recitals are free to all inter
ested in good organ music.
