Thanksgiving Hymn
Well Liked at Birth
But Now Forgotten

The first presidential Thanksgiving
proclamation was that of President
Washington in 1850 on the occasion
Of the adoption Of the Constitution,
the day, curiously enough, being No
vember 26--the date Of celebration of
1868. 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
1868, 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 1863 wss re-
markable as the first of series, ex-
tending now over fifty years. 1t was
also noticeable because 1t was the oc-
casion Of a thanksgiving hymn by the
famous Reverend Doctor Muhlenburg
Of st. Luke's hospital, New York city.
He is we'll known as the author Of the
familiar hymn. 'T Would Not Live AL
way" and a 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. 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 proclamatio
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.
Alleluias OF freedom with joyful accord
Let the East and the West, North and
South roll along,
Sea, mountain and prairie, one tharks
giving song.
Chorus

Some Reasons Why
the Farmer Should
Keep Thanksgiving

just now. apart from our knowl-
edge Of food secure, perhaps some
Of US feel 1t 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 admired
just to keep our home circle
happy this Thanksgiving day. Each
one knows their own cause for con-
tent, even where 1t 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.

AS the King was resting, he nearly
went to sleep listening to the songs of
the Forest. He was hindered from
sleeping, however, by the touch of a
soft nose on the back of his ear. It
startled you, for he knew 1t was one
of the creatures of the Forest desiring
to tell him a story about someone or
something. III
The little soft nose shifted about

asked. Then there was an answer in

said Attorney General William Lang

He held in his hand a copy Of a

LANCER cited specific instance:
"Out in Stark county there was a
settlement of Germans and German
Russians who had not subscribed. 1

did not understand the conditions
brought by the entrance into the
war. In the village of Taylor the

The audience enthusiastically ap-
plauded him.
Now folks, about my brother.
They claim l sent an assistant on
state expense to get my brother out OF
the draft. The facts are that my
brother enlisted. When the war
broke out, my brother was in bust

talked it over and it was decided mat
the partner should enlist first. My

he served II months in France. He

Twenty-four hours without a drink OF

act. John Robinson, the First, con-
ceived the idea of a travelling show
for the amusement of the people,
something which would arouse
enough interest to keep them talking
and wishing for a return Of the show
each year. From the very start the
organization determined to meet the
approval of a particular public, and
never has this determination been
diverged from. When the first John
Robinson circus ratified its way, on
wagons. across the rough country
roads, it contained the best circus
talent obtainable, and although this
great organization has grown to such
proportions today as to make the
original enterprise seem ridiculous by
comparison, the keynote of quality
has been adhered to rigidly. The
world contains no better performers
than those secured by the Robinson
management for this season. and big
things are promised the citizens Of
Grand Forks when this famous circus
visits here on Friday, June.2
Two performances will be given at
2 and 8 p. M, preceded by the regu-
lar street parade. said to surpass any

doors will be open an hour before
