The train robbed was through fast

\ II this represents the pagan ideal Of
gratitude, It is in marked contrast to
the Christian ideal. A boastful spirit
has no place in true thanksgiving to
God. The Pharisee who went up to
the temple to pray and thanked God
that he was not as other men, was
roundly rebuked by Christ for his pre-
sumption. The last place for one to
display his egotism should be before
the throne Of God. "Whosoever will
be great among you, let him be your
minister" said Christ. It is a time
for true humility of spirit.
Now that this nation has grown rich
beyond the dreams Of the austere
pioneers. do Americans of today REG
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 benefits?'
America is today the richest and
most powerful nation Of the earth. and
It 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 most
popular sin In the world. because It is

giving Day.
Will 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 1t 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 the
Pilgrims.
Shortly after the landing of the Pill
grims, while searching for a 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 q 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 a
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. &c Il
During the next fifty years there
were as many as q public Thanks
giving days appointed in Massachu-
sets, usually in October or Novem.
Der. after the gathering in of the har-
vests, or to celebrate some public
benefit. It did not become a regular
holiday until long time afterward.
In 1859 Washington issued the ia
nous Thanksgiving proclamation rec
ommending Thursday, November %.
as IL national day to be devoted to
prayer and Thanksgiving. Washing

Presidents. i, * ,s ,s.- ~
In 1868 President Lincoln appointed
the fourth Thursday in November 40
