CLOSE TO HEARTS
OF ALL AMERICANS
Particular Reason Why Thanks.
giving Day Should Be Gen.
orally Celebrated Here.

INNE OF the oldest and best beloved
holidays in the whole year
~ comes to us this week--oldest IN
our history because the Puritan
fathers celebrated 1t when they did
not celebrate Christmas, best beloved
because II 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 It's echo In the French July II, but
Thanksgiving day is the entire proper.
~ Of the American people and per.
haps this adds the extra luster which
makes 1t day apart In the heart Of
every citizen.
Its origin was In the farms. where
the harvest season was closed with n
day set aside for the giving of thanks
for the crops just harvested. In real.
ity 1t Is n national harvest festival, but
IT'S meaning has come TO cover more
than Just the harvest season alone.
Now this holiday Is accorded us for
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 q
Thanksgiving day. This WINS an an.
nual occurrence until the end II the
war, when a day was set aside In
1884, for rendering thanks for the re-
turn Of peace. Again In 1889 Wash
lngton appointed day of thanksgiving
for the adoption Of the Constitution.
II was in this year also that the Epis.
copal church formally recognized the
right OF the civil government to rec.
ommend such feast day.
