America Gives Thanks Today

Thanksgiving Day occurred first In
1921, when the Pilgrims gave thanks
to Divine Providence for what they
considered their manifold blessings.
Two hundred and ninety-seven
years later the American people are
observing the day with a varied cere-
mony. which may be considered a ma
tural evolution. The devout service
OF a Christian people in sincere
Thanksgiving for the untold blessings
OF a modern people is still the leading
feature of the day. Likewise the feast
of turkey and cranberries Is observed
now as then, with many variations.
The Pilgrims obtained their turkey
by shooting a wild one, and their
cranberries by going out and picking
them. The pumpkin pie was a home
product. These edibles practically
the list And they were
lust as thankful as this modern world
Of 1918 for it's many things far beyond
The dreams Of the Pilgrims.
But al this time the world at large
nay join in thanksgiving for the end
the great wal that upset the world,
and the promise that il is the last
great conflict of civilized nations.
