Thanksgiving Day

Near three hundred years ago the Pilgrims left their home
In England, for land that lay far the foam,
Where they could offer praise to God any they chose
Where they could live their simple faith with opposes
And when the stormy trip these sturdy and free
Gave thanks Him who guided them the tackes
They set aside day of prayer with them nay
And down thru the has Day
These sturdy Pilgrims suffered thru winter cold and long,
Upheld alone by principle, and many purpose strong,
And when spring round again with half their
number dead,
They did not give despair but struggled instead
Until Success to them at last extended her fair hand.
And bade them live peace and in their adopted land
And with these sturdy SOULS each year rolled away
Still kne and prayed God above their Thanksgiving Day.
And so wherever this earth Americans abide,
The Pilgrims custom observed in and countryside
To every church within the land that day will good folk CO.
And offer their thanks to Him from who all blessings fow
To thank Hin for land ree for breaking of fetters
The God who made history book of golden letters
And like the Pilgrims long we'll bend the knee and pray
And offer thanks to Him above Thanksgiving Day.

Thanksgiving Is Seemly

A time of stress and foreboding
is the time for a renewal of faith
and the giving of thanks.
The history of the American
people illustrates this principle of
Christian living. Scarcely a year
had passed since the Mayfower
touched ''the stern and rock bound
coast,'' and Plymouth Rock had
been made the corner stone of the
Colossus of the West" The sub
sequent winter had been sore
trial to soul and body; and the
springtime found the Pilgrims who
survived, planting the scanty seed
stock of corn, barley and peas.
With pulses that alternately raced
and slowed, they waited the har-
vesting. The Corn yielded we'll,
and the barley was indifferently
good, but the peas were a failure,
owing to a drought and late
sowing"
Heartily thankful. however, even
for the meager abundance that
Providence had given, they sent
four huntsmen to the forest for
fowl and venison; and these to-
gether with the fruits of the field,
provided a feast. The neighborly
Indian Massasoit, with ninety OF
his henchmen, was invited; and
three days were devoted to social
communion around the festal board,
and most of all, to thanksgiving to
the Provider of every good and
perfect benefit.
Despite the fact that a hostile
fatherland had lately forced their
departure, that religious intoler-
ance had long been their lot, that a
rigorous New England winter had
decimated their numbers, and an
other was approaching. that a
wilderness filled with predatory
animals and sullen savages faced
them on one side. and an unfrjendly
ocean on the other. yet they did

dismal result, and left Immediately.
He had not disappeared in the
crowd when signal came which
undoubtedly originated in the Nj
agara. Our joy was so deep and
earnest that it did not suffer us to
speak for some seconds. But when
the first stun of surprise and
pleasure passed, each one began
trying to express his feelings in
some way more or less energetic.
DR.. Thomson laughed right loud
and heartily. Never was more
anxiety compressed into such
a space. It lasted exactly one hour
and a half, but it did not seem to

As we drew nearer Ireland the
storm began to abate," the account
goes on, ''and things became alto

we dared to hope.

threw off the cable boat. Before

the jolly tars and run off with; a
od-humored scuffle ensued be-
twixt them and the gentlemen of
the island for the honor of pulling
the cable up to the Office. The
Knight of Kerry was upset in the
water. As soon as it got fairly on
terra firma a bevy of ladies gave it
a make-believe haul-just so much
as to tar their gloves or white
hands, and give occasion for a nice
businesslike little fuss in getting
butter or other oleaginous matter
to remove the stain! Meanwhile
we we're thrown rather behind. See-
ing that those who most deserved

Thomson, followed by Anderson,
a clerk, and myself. jumped out of
the boat and waded ashore. but in

tually, like the ladies'. The end
was taken to the slate works. where
the company's offices are tenn

current from shore to shore, to
test the state of the cable. All

mot challenge Jehovah for the ills
which we're theirs, but rather Of
fered heartfelt alteration to Him
for blessings granted.
Two years later, in 1923, a ter.
rible drought and famine came
upon their colony. They tasted
and prayed for days, and their
faith was rewarded by a copious
rain. A day of thanksgiving was
again observed; and gradually the
custom prevailed, until it was an
annual after harvest event.
In the years of the Revolution,
when it sometimes appeared that
the infant commonwealth was to
die abortively, Congress recon-
mended that God be praised by
the colonies for the mercies he
deemed best to bestow.
Again in 1854, President Lincoln,
in face of the uncertainty that
hung over the success of the
Northern cause, issued a Thanks
giving proclamation, designating
the last Thursday in November; a
presidential custom ever since.
If praise and faith were ever
seemly for the American nation,
they are in this year 1918; for our
blessings are legion and our needs
innumerable. To enumerate some
of the former:
Our live stock products, with a
value of 81. 600, 600, 900, are twice
those of any other country. Our
corn crop is ten times as large as
any other nations; and our wheat
crop. although smaller than we
hoped for, is larger than any ri.
vals. Our cotton crop is half the
worlds supply. Our coal produc-
tion of half a billion tons is twice
that of Britain. our nearest COM
petitor. Our 100000, 900 barrels
of oil is twice that of Russia, who
ranks second. Our output of iron
and steel is double that of Ger
many. the second largest producer
up to the close of the war. We
mine more copper than all the rest
of the world. We manufactured
$36, 200, 900, 900 worth of goods
last year, and our balance of ex-
ports over imports was more than
So, 900, ,OO0,0 900. Our gold reserve
is one third of the worlds total.
Our wealth is over $4,000 for ev-
cry man, woman. and child in the
country. Our railroad mileage is
more than double that of all
Europe. Our total wealth is great
er than that of Britain, France,
and Germany combined. And these
are but few of the material bene-
fits. Add to these the incalculable
benefit that has accrued because of
unequaled liberty of conscience.
voice, and pen, of freedom from
militarism and autocracy, of lack of

that America should make the

God that the nation has ever ex-

HE French, tired from
countless attacks. were
fltering to the rear. The


9p@fE1 countless attacks. were
IgOEgA filtering to the rear. The
lAAD roads were choked with
war material, with roaring trucks
and rushing camions. Every where
the refugees were hnrrying toward
safety, carrying with them their
household effects. dragging their
cows behind their heavily loaded
wagons-sad. yet smiling and striv-
ing to be brave. The last great
German drive was on, pounding
relentlessly forward toward Paris.
But in contrast to this picture
was another, that of great motor
trucks crammed with full-chest-
ed, steel-muscled men, hasten
ing to the front. Men from the
far-away were these new warriors
of new vim and new ideas and new
methods of fighting. Men who
knew Germany as a thing to be
defeated, who never had met Fear.
who laughed at the horrors of the
Huns. They we're United States
marines.
But the odds were against them.
The Germans had started their
rush = the swift-moving hordes
must be halted. And more than
that, halted by a body of men who
must make up for their inferiority
in numbers by a superiority of
fighting power. The trucks churned
on.
Children, standing by the road
way, threw flowers to those ma
rines and cheered them. White
haired old women, rocking atop
the refugees carts, called a blessing
to them. But would they these
bronzed giants from over-seas-be
able to achieve the impossible?
More than one Wonderland
hesitated to think of the outcome.
A night in an open wheat field.
Then the great clash! And out of
the great tangle of wars complex
machinery came a message that
was electrical in it's results. The
weary French took on new life.
The British, standing only a few
months before with their backs to
the wall, fretted in a new anxiety
to attack. The whole great or
ganization of civilization, fighting
there on the western front, sud-
denly saw the dawn of a new day,
and the brightness of a new hope.
For those United States marines
had done the impossible. Fighting
against odds of nearly ten to one,
the marines had turned back the
enemy-and started the rearward
rush toward Berlin that marked
the beginning of the end.
They had proved that they were
the real supermen. Marines with
as many as ten and eleven bullet
holes in them still fought forward.
Others, ordered to the rear, obeyed
only to return without waiting to
have their wounds dressed. Men
morally wounded swept on until
the machine-gun nests of the enc.
my we're captured-then died.
Still others, felled by the enemy,
forgot their own wounds that they
might ask of the wounds of some
comrade, or insist ON not being
given aid until later-there were
comrades who must be cared fol-
first.
And wbyg Why should this
body of men-and remember, the
total authorized strength of the
United States marine corps is only
75,0O0-be able to accomplish &c
much2 Why should they be the
real "supermen" which Germany
believed it alone possessed until
