T\H1S famous poem comes to
mind with each: recurring
Thanksgiving day, and carries
us back to 1921 when the land
was young and our pilgrim forbears
were laying the first foundation stones
of our great American Republic To
them belongs the credit Of having cele-
brated the first Thanksgiving day In
New England, but not the first In
North America. Historians remind us
Of the fact that In the year 1873 an
English minister named Wolfall con-
Quoted a Thanksgiving service on the
shores of Newfoundland. The min
lister was with an expedition under
Frobisher which brought the first Eng
lish colony to settle on those shores.
It was In this pious spirit OF graft
tude that the Pilgrims on the "stern
and rack-bOund coast" Of Plymouth
''praysed God" in sincere gratitude for
the way In which he had delivered
them from all the dangers Of the deep
that the Mayflower had gone through.
We Of the luxurious plenty Of our day
would feel that we had little for
which to be g.ateful If we had no
more than the Pilgrims had on their
first Thanksgiving day. Dangers known
and unknown encompassed them round
about, and their days were filed with
hard labor, while their fare was Of the
plainest and the future was uncertain.
But they had stout hearts In which
hope ran high. OF the American
Thanksgiving one historian says:
1.-THE annual celebration, as we have
it>in its present form, is essentially Of
American conception. The settlers Of
Jamestown, the Dutch of New York.
the Pilgrims Of Plymouth, and the Pu.
ritans of Boston were in every respect
devoutly religious people. They were
cornerstones In the great temple Of
republican government on this side of
the Atlantic. The first written consti-
tuition In all history was an American
document. In that it was written in the
cabin Of the Maytlower on Saturday,
Nov. IL, 1920, as that unique craft
swung ut her anchor In Provincetown
harbor, the first six words being In
the name Of God. Amen This phrase
laid the foundation stones Of our
western civilization. These men
brought but little with them, but left
much to posterity. II this were the
only thing they left Us, the American
Thanksgiving day, their names would
be immortaltzed. 1t gives Joy to the
humblest Of peoples. On the; follow
ing autumn there was held a. 'grande
thanksgiving.' The most condensed &C.
count Of this *grande THANKSGIVING can
be found in a letter written by Ed
ward Winslow, sent to a friend in
England. as follows: Cur, harvest be-
ing gotten in, our governor sent out
four men ON fowling, so that we might
after special manner rejoice togeth-
er, after we had gathered the fruits of
cur labors. They killed as much fowl
as with little help beside served the
company about one week. At which
times among other recreations we ex-
ercised our army, many of the Indians

rest Of their greatest king, Massasoit.

days we entertained and toasted, and

The favorite way Of celebrating
Thanksgiving in New England was, Of
course, first with prayer and sermon,
in which the minister told his congre-
cation the many things they had to be
thankful for. The church was generally
decorated with fruits and grains, and
when the custom became national this
was continued. The idea Of the Thanks
giving dinner in New England was to
have all Of the fruits Of the harvest.
and turkey became the principal meat
course because this bird was so plenti-
full and was caught In the wild state
and prepared most appetizingly by the
housewives. - g..
Then there was pumpkin pie. and as
cranberries grew in great quantities in
New England states the sauce Of that
berry was a fitting addition to the
tA key course. Plum cake, or, as 1t has
come to be known, fruit cake, was a
favorite for the Christmas holidays In
England and was brought over with
other dainties by the first Of the set
tiers and the recipes for making treas
ured by the housewives.
Meat pies, or. as we call them. mince
pies, came later in the list Of good
things for Thanksgiving. 3
With the very earliest settlers the
day was. indeed, a day Of prayer. and
