giving Day..
VIII Bear Repetition Annually ~
Something Of Which Every
Citizen May Be Proud.

The ancient Thanksgiving did not
as some have fancied. skip down the
ages to find its home in America. In
one way or another it seems to have
always been observed. Throughout
Europe. before the Reformation. special
days were set apart as days Of re-
ligious thanksgiving. The American
Thanksgiving day Is traced back to tho
Pilgrims.
Shortly after the landing Of til" PHI
grIms, while searching for suitable
place In which to build their homes,
they one day came upon some deserted
Indian huts. In which they found some
baskets filed with corn. From this
supply they succeeded In saving enough
to plant their first years crop.
In the spring of 1921 the seed corn
was sown and Its growing watched
anxiously by the people Of the little
colony. To their great JOY. the har'
vest Of the following October was
bountiful one. Governor Bradford or.
dered three days feast In celebration
thereof. Wild turkeys, geese, ducks
and water fowl, corn bread and vege-
tables no doubt formed the chief con-
stituents OF their feast. not to speak
of the FIVE deer brought In by tribe
Of friendly Indians.
This festival Is supposed to be the
first real Thanksgiving day from which
we date our celebration. This cele-
bration, although without doubt the
origin of our national Thanksgiving
day, may be looked upon as merely
local observance, being held by the
Plymouth colony only. They were the
forerunners Of less local celebrations
in Massachusetts and gradually In 9th.
er colonies, for In 1880 public
Thanksgiving day was observed In
Boston by the Bay colony, and again
In 1881.
During the next fifty years there
were as many as % public Thanks

sets, usually In October or Novem.

WHY Give THANKS
Manifold Blessings Accorded to
This Nation.
Surely One Needs Only Few Mo-
ments' Reflection to Realize the
Causes for GIadness.

It is written of Plato that, looking
through the dim spectacles of nature.
he gave thanks to God for three
things: First. thai he was created q
man and not beast. Second, that
he was born Grecian and not a
barbarian. Third. that he was born
a possible philosopher"
If this represents the pagan ideal Of
gratitude. 1t Is in marked CONTRAST ~
the Christian ideal. b0ustful spirit
has no place in true thanksgiving TO
God. The PhariSee who went up to
the temple to psay and thanked God
that he was not us other men. was
roundly rebuked by Christ for his pre-
sumption. The last place for one to
display his egOtisln should be before
the throne of God. whatsoever will
be great among you, let him be your
minister" said Christ. 1t Is time
for true humility of spirit.
Now that this nation has grown rich
beyond the dreams of the uustere
pioneers, do Americans of today rec
ogniZe the source of their manifold
blessings, and Will they with true hu-
mility acknowledge their gratitude to
the giver of all good gifts. forgetting
not all his benefts?"
America Is today the richest and
most powerful nation of the earth, and
1t is this very opulence that leads the
people, most literally blessed of ALL to
neglect to remember the source Of
good. In days Of opulence and power
men are prone to put their trust in
themselves and to underestimate those
influences that have made them great.
Ingratitude has been called the lnast
popular sin In the world, because Ii Is
the result Of selfshness, or egotism
or ambition or whatever the case may
be. Nations, being an aggregation Of
individuals, In their days of power
have tendency to trust In themselves
and to disregard the laws of God
