There was nothing said about feast

say certain prayers on days set apart
for this purpose. The annual Thanks
giving was set for May 2Gth, but it
gradually fell into disuse.
Dutch Reverence
The Dutch settlers brought their
THANKSGIVING customs with them from
Holland and on August goth, 1915, the
Indian chiefs gathered outside Of
Fort New Amsterdam and signed a
treaty with the settlers and on the fol
lowing day the first Thanksgiving
proclamation we find in the history Of
New York was issued It read as fol
lows:
Whereas it hath pleased Almighty
God in His unbounded clcmency aud
mercy in addition to many previous
blessings, to suffer US to reach Il long

Therefore, it is deemed necessary
to proclaim the fact to all those Of

lengthy and tlresome discourse at the
church
These people had spent their first
year in the new land on the oceans
edge and with haunting fears as to
what might come Friendly relations
had been established with the Indians
and they had taught the settlers how
to cultivate corn. Tho first winter had
been bitter cold and many had died
but when the spring came and the
corn began to grow and the Indians
taught them the haunts of the deer
and bear. whose meat was good for
food, they began to feel that time
for THANKSGIVING was at hand. The
Indian CHIEF Massoait was their friend
and when Governor Bradford issued
the proclamation of Thanksgiving he
sent his warriors out to hunt for food
for the day. Later another Indian
Ctief paid one of the Puritan women
shilling for making a shirt for his
child. This she gave as a thank offer
ing at the church.

aside as Thanksgiving Day and some
Puritan or Dutch governor wrote Il
proclamation which was duly OBJ
served. Always there was a church
service and to those who had family
reunions at that time there was a
simple dinner and much prayer. once
In a while some farmers whose crop
had been especially good would have
an extra dinner and pumpkin pie was
regarded az the special feature for
one of the ancient preachers had said:
Let no man make jest at pumpkins
for with this fruit the Lord was
pleased to feed His people 10 their
content till corn and cattle were in
creased" For this reason pumpkin
pies are today Il part Of the Thanks
giving menu.
Thanksgiving soon became Gus
tom in New England but it was NOV
able as to dates, and might occur at
any time. Beginning in 1854 the fes.
tival became a formal one in Massa
chusetts and her example was soon
followed by the New England Stales.
Odd Story
The celebration Of Christmas was
regarded as "Popish mummery" by
the Puritans and they readily took up
the celebration Of Thanksgiving in
stead. They were very strict that no
"superstitiOus meats. such as barons
of beef or boars' heads should be put
upon the table but vcnison and bears
meat could be used. They were par
ticular about the day upon which this
meat was killed and story is told
that on one occasion an Indian had
shot a deer for the feast ION ye Lords
Day" and when it was cooked the
entire party refused to eat It and vot-

the States and territories and asked
them to set the last Thursday in No
vember in order to give the day
national character. Failing the frs
two or three times she never lost
hope and continued to write to them
year after year and finally few yield
ed to her request, but Thanksgiving
Day was not very well observed except
in New England. where the descend
ants OF men like Governor Bradford
and Captain Miles Standish still clung
to the old custom.
For a long time the celebration OF
Thanksgiving in the South was con
sidered relic of Puritan bigotry and
it was not until 1851 that the day
began to be celebrated there.
During the Civil War the custom
Jagged but Mrs. Hale did not allow
it to be forgotten and she continued
to write to high officials and keep the
matter before the public, and after
the Battle of Gettysburg she wrote to
President Lincoln and suggested that
he appoint a day OF thanks" This
he did and ever since each President
has set apart the last Thursday in
November. Each President writes
different proclamation, in which he in
corporates the things we are to be
especially thankful for, and each year
the day takes on more of a festival
occasion, quite different from the old
days when our people had much less
