Days Deeper Meaning.

Three centuries ago the Plymouth
cOlonists kept our first Thanksgiving
day. For more than threescore years
the date has been established and the
observance nationwide. The history
and the spirit of Thanksgiving are
simple and familiar, yet Of kind
apart and exalted and requiring to be
many times retold. Scholars have
spoken of kinship Of this feast to
the Jewish Feast of Tabernacles, but
the likeness is indistinct in ceremony
and remote in time. It need not change
the feeling that Thanksgiving day is
day distinctive and original, evolved
Of the genius Of strong, new people
earnestly at work and conscious Of
God.
