This IL the dayl

This IL the dayl
In obedience to tho proclamation of the
president Of tho United stares tho people OF
tho republic have ceased from their labors today
for the purpose Of recalling with gratitude to
the Divine Being their manifold blessings.
It is beautiful practice of beautiful con-
cepton The custom Is no less American than
Is the bird which has come to stand aa its SYM
boil Both OF tho country, ana both have
grown in influence until today more than n
hundred million people engage in the service
iuaugmatod by the puritan fathers, while an
industry OF no moan proportions has been con-
structed through sheer necessity in order that
the bird may be supplied from farmyards where
It wont to he taken from It's native haunts
In the wilderness.
The first recorded public Thanksgiving ep-
pointed by authority IN America. was pro-
claimed in Massachusetts Bay February 6,
1891. The custom grew but did not become ma
tiona and regular until many years later.
Scarcely month in tho year but, in our carly
history, was, at time OF another selected
for the service which in those times was deeply
religious. General Washington issued proc
lamation for general Thanksgiving by tho
continental army Thursday, December Is.

As president. Washington appointed Thursday
November ga 17s9 a day for general Thanks
giving throughout the union

without warrant OF any law, become the day on
which the nation Is theoretically called 70 prayer
