Some Reasons Why

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

personal well-belng 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-

Thanksgiving Hymn
We'll 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 ylcksburg 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-
mtiOns.
The proclamation of 1863 wEs re-
markable as the first of a series, ex-
tending now over fifty years. 1t was
uiSO ilOllNNubit bNNuu0N u wan Nht w
casion of a 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, 81 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 noble Thanksgiving
hymn was the result, hymn which at
the time was often sung. but Is now
comparatively forgotten. II was pub
llshed 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.. I.lncoln's proclamation.
The original title was Give Thanks
All Ye People," the first verse being
nS 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 thanks
giving song
Chorus
Give thanks. all ye people. give thanks "a

Aileluias OF freedom. with joyful accord.
As the hymn was suggested by Mr..

ance, appeared to have 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 90, 1913. The Alumni Quar-
terly says: Touches OF the unusual
were added to the exercises by the
singing of forgotten hymn, dedicated
to Lincoln In 1863 by Reverend Doctor
Muhlenburg. The hymn, which had
not previously been sung In public, was
discovered by Professor Dodge In a
contemporary issue of the New York
Tribune"
