CHINESE HAVE
DAY OF THANKS

The moon feast Is one of the most
popular and widely spread of all the
Chin, Sc pagan festivals. 1t has many
of the characteristics of the ancient
moon worship ceremonies of Syria ana
phoenicia, and it comes as near 10 ne
ing thank sgiving festival ms any
heather feast could ever expect to be,
celebrating the iEgHthering of the har-
vest. TO the masses Of the Chinese,
however, there appears 10 be but Il
faint idea of genuine thanksgiving
connected with this moon feast. Ii is
simply the remnant of an ancient In
stitutinn. coming down from the re-
moteSt antiquity us a meaningless
act of nature worship. 1t Is possible
that in the beginning, among the early
Chinese people, the moon festival may
have been less pagan and more char
acterized by feelings Of thankful re-
ioicing than it is at present However
that may be, no wiser choice could
have been made by the missionaries
in China toward establishing n genuine
national Thanksgiving feast than the
selection of the day of the popular
moon feast.
The moon feast was first proclaimed
q thanksgiving festival in 1906 at WI
chang, where the large church was
filled with q well-ordered crowd or
Chinese, celebrating for the first time
the newly appointed thanksgiving

Wuchang is great city of nearly
million inhabitants, situated far up
the Yang Kiang, in the heart of
China. Its central position, among
the trrming myriadS of heather Chi
nesr renders it good point for the
spread of helpful and uplifting ideas
and rrl;hS, and in view Of the readi-
ness Of the Chipese at home to adopt
the hest things presented to them for
