humiliating effusion-as a political an

Doctor Muhlenburg's production:
1.-The hymn and air that were given
to the public by Doctor Muhlenburg q
short time ago appear to have missed
the accident of being fairly born, and
for that reason have not succeeded.
The want of good accident here is ia
tai, but the hymn has real merit 1t

four verses that could have been omit
ted with advantage. Otherwise 1t
might have stuck and would have had
fair chance CT success for the mu-
sic, which we know only by the eye,
and never heard in public perform
ance, appeared to have a look of prom
ise."
The next known reference to this
hymn occurs In connection with the
observance Of the fiftieth convocation
of the University Of Illinois, on No
vember 20. 1918. The Alumni Quar-
terly says: Touches of the unusual

Thanksgiving Hymn
Well Liked at Birth
But Now Forgotten

The first presidential Thanksgiving
proclamation was that of President
Washington in 1889 on the occasion
of the adoption of the Constitution,
the day. curiously enough, being No
vember 26-the date Of celebration Of
1863. This latter was the real fore
runner Of our national Thanksgiving
day. Occasional and special times Of
thanksgiving had often been appoint
ed by different Presidents, but the year
1863, famous for Its decisive national
victories. marked also the beginning
of the annual series Of Thanksgiving
days.
The great victories of Gettysburg
and Vicksburg were really the cause
of Lincoln's proclamation, and his ex-
ample has been followed by all his
successors until the annual festival
has become one Of our national insti-
tutions.
The proclamation of 1858 was re-
markable as the first Of q series, *
tending now over fifty years. 1t was
also noticeable because 1t was the oc-
casion Of thanksgiving hymn by the
famous Reverend Doctor Muhlenburg
of st. Luke's hospital, New York city.
He is well known as the author of the
familiar hymn, II Would Not Live Al
way" and poet Of no small repute.
Mr.. Lincoln's glowing words met his
eye and struck a responsive chord in
his heart. A noble Thanksgiving
hymn was the result, a hymn which at
the time was often sung. but is now
comparatively forgotten. 1t was pub
lished with appropriate music. and
even yet is suitable for use on similar
occasions.
The hymn contains nine stanzas,
with chorus, and takes up in order the
various causes for thanksgiving men
toned in Mr.. Lincoln's proclamation.
The original title was "Give Thanks
All Ye People," the first verse being
as follows:
Give thanks. all ye people, give thanks
to the Lord,
AIleluias of freedom with joyful accord;
Let the East and the West, North and
South roll along.
Sea, mountain and prairie, one thanks
giving song. 81
Chorus.
Give thanks. all ye people, give thanks to
the Lord,
Alleluias of freedom, with joyful accord.
AS the hymn was suggested by Mr..
Lincoln's call upon the nation to give
thanks, Doctor Muhlenburg spoke OF it
as ''The Presidents Hymn" but would
not permanently offer such a title
without Mr.. Lincoln's approval. Mr.
Robert B. Minturn, prominent mem
Der Of Doctor Muhlenburg's congrega-
ton, was greatly pleased with the
poem. and sent copy TO the President,
with whom he was personally acquaint-
ed, asking permission to name the
hymn as the author desired Mr.. Lin
coin telegraphed back: $50 let it be-"

Some Reasons Why
the Farmer Should
Keep Thanksgiving

Just now apart from our knowl-
edge of food secure, perhaps some
of us feel it necessary to fall back
upon the private reasons for thank
fulneSs. Each one has some bit of
personal well-being that can be brought
out and rubbed up and admiSed
just TO keep our home circle
happy this Thanksgiving day. Each
one knows their own cause for con-
tent. even where ii is so common
place as not to be distinctly visible to
others. Especially this year we mustn't
lose sight Of the personal bright
spots ON account Of their everyday
character.
A person was once visiting friend
whose home commanded a beautiful
stretch of mountain scenery. 1t was.
in fact. q magnificent view, "What
wonderful outlook you have here"
he remarked to his host. g. nm sure
if / lived here should spend most
of my time viewing the landscape"
''Why. never thought Of II that
way" his host replied. 81 never con.
sidered II anything remarkable. /
have simply taken IT as matter of
course"
Thousands of people who live In
the country enjoy a treasure which is
denied 20 millions of their fellowmen
the blessing Of good, pure. out-of.
door air, fragrant In spring and sum.
mer with perfume of flowers or new
mown nay, and in fall and winter la.
den with crisp, life-giving ozone.
No one enjoys more blessings and
treasures OF this kind than the man
or woman on the farm. He or she,
If inclined to be of a complaining ma.
ture, is apt to find fault that life on
the farm is so hard and composed so
largely of drudgery. Furthermore,
.'far away fields are always green"
and the one on the farm imagines
that in the city all must be ease and
contentment. These imaginings. how
ever, will not stand the test of
personal acquaintanceship with the
life that is lived In the cities by hun.
dreds of thousands of people. Farm
work is hard, but there are no easy
berths in life
The average person on the farm
lives better, enjoys better air to
breathe, better water to drink, better
food to eat. better conditions under
which to work, better health than the
man or woman in corresponding cir
cumstances in the city.
And this must give us each oui
personal bright spot for thanksgivins
and good cheer.
