Thanksgiving
ReyerieS
and Queries
m.s.sss::asas1 assSas8ssJ

Thanksgiving is the first of Ameri-
be set apart its observance runs
through the whole history of the ma
ton Like most other distinctive fea
lures of our American order of life it
sprang up ont of the local soil. 1t was
at first and for many years colonial.
1t became national only as its OBJ
servance spread from town to town,
from colony to colony, from state to
state.
While it has historical interest all
its own, Thanksgiving is identified
with no single event, no special occa-
sion no definite date in our history.
1t recalls no single act, as does I'm
dependence day It commentaries
the name and service Of no man, as do
the birthdays of Washington and Lin
coin. 1t is not shared with other peo-
pies as are Christmas and New Years.
Day Identified With All.
The American Thanksgiving day is
identified with the soil we till, for
whose harvest we give thanks 1t is,
therefore, identified with the toll and
the toilers whose tillage and produc-
tive labor, inventive skill, constructive
and distributiye enterprise feed, clothe,
shelter and develop our own people
and many of their kith and kin in the
old fatherlands across the seas
Thanksgiving is another and greater
Labor day 1t recalls and calls forth
all kinds of effort by all classes of peo-
pie. 1t merges the common product OF
the common toll, for the national pos
session of which the President zand
governors Of the whole people @all

Creator and the good providence ~
the Great Provider. In thus reniirld
ing us that our harvests are the joint
product of Mother Nature, the chill
aren of men and Father God, Thanks
giving is first of all the American peo-
sple's expression of grateful apprecia-
lion for their s'ceuntry'-its land and
waters. it's fertility and beauty; for
our great -of-doors nature. its re-
sponse to human effort, to mans dis
covery and his working with natural
law. Thanksgiving is, therefore, ma
lures harvest-nome holiday.
Celebrates Entire Year.
And yet it celebrates the full round
year. While held after harvest,
Thanksgiving does not let us forget
the seed and sowing of the springtime,
the blowing and wedding of the sum
mer as vital to the all-inclusive process
of reaping.- Moreover, and above all,
in this linking soil and skies earth and
the heavens, it is the Day of Remem-
hrance of the Father of US all. as the
great giVer not only but as the greatest
worker. with whom We may work and
who works with all for the common
