serve the occasion on whatever day
happened to strike their fancy.
Following the surrender of Burgoyne
at Saratoga in 1777, the Continental
congress had appointed committee to
recommend joint thanksgiving for 1.-THE
signal success lately obtained over the
enemies of the United States"
In 1778 Thanksgiving was set for
December 80, most of the states con-
curing in a uniform date, but there
were other Tha A:sgivings in May.
June and December as the various
states saw fit to order them.
It was not until January, 1895, that
Washington was authorized by con
gress to proclaim a national Thanks
giving, which he did for February 10.
For twenty years Mrs. Hale wrote
editorials in her magazine, and per-
sonal letters to governors and Presi-
dents. in behalf of national Thanks
giving day. Her efforts and patience
were rewarded in 1868. when Abraham
Lincoln saw the wisdom of her sug-
gestions and decided to adopt the plan.
From that day to this Thanksgiving
has been celebrated by the entire ma
ton the last Thursday of November.
After the 1895 day of Thanksgiving
in February, the festival was skipped
for twenty years. In 1915, when peace
with Great Britain followed the War
of 1872, congress resolved that "a
joint committee of both houses wait
upon the President of the United
States and request that he recommend
a day of Thanksgiving to be observed
by the people of the United States
with religious solemnity and the offer
ing of devout acknowledgements to God
for his mercies and in prayer to him
for the continuance of his blessings"
Long Lapse After 1916.
The day fixed for observance was
April 10, 1915. but thereafter Thanks
giving as national celebration fell
by the wayside, not to be revived until
Mrs. Hale's campaign moved President
Lincoln to act in 1868.
Mrs. Hale's persistent efforts had
won favor for the idea in most states
by the time the Civil war had arrived.
Some states already had begun the

Father" Mrs. Hale wrote to ministers
all over the country, urging them to
help.
The First Congregational church of
Washington responded to Mrs. Hale's
plea, and sent delegation to Presi-
dent Andrew Johnson requesting him
to issue Thanksgiving proclamation.
He accepted and the Presidents since
have followed his example without be-
ing petitioned, the states issuing sep
arate proclamations in keeping with
the national edict.
Mrs. Hale wrote many books and
poems. The most famous of her poems
were "Mary's Lamb" 1.-THE Light of
Home" and ut Shows" Perhaps the
best known of her works is "Woman's
Record, or Sketches of All Distin-
guished Women From the Creation to
the Present Day." first published in
1858. and enlarged in 1869. She went
on writing verses and jingles for chill,
dren, articles and novels for grown
persons and editing her magazine until
shortly before her death in 1870. at
which time she was ninety-one years
old.

observance of a fall Thanksgiving day
nearly ten years before the national
day in November was set aside. New
York was one of these, and her repre-
sentatives in congress tried repeatedly
TO induce that body to name day. In
1868 there were actually two Thanks
giving days, the northern states hav.
ing observed one in August for the
victory at Gettysburg.
Following the assassination of Lin
coin, Mrs. Hale feared the holida;
might be allowed to drop. She urged
the necessity of keeping the national
fall festival as a Thanks day for all
good things given us by the Heavenly

Made Day National
Persistent Woman Editor
United the Nation in
Giving Thanks.

The impression seems to prevail in
some quarters that the women of the
United States never accomplished any
thing worth while before they were
given the right to vote. Talk Of that
character is a million miles from the
truth. The women of America have
always been doing fine, big, worthwhile
things, H. O. Bishop writes in the Ma
tional Republic.
At this particular season of the year
It Is appropriate to tell about the
woman who, after twenty years Of
patient effort, succeeded in having an
annual Thanksgiving celebration in
this country observed on the same
day by all Of the people.
The name of this woman was Mrs.
Sarah Josepha Hale. Few women, Ell
Their before or since, have accom-
plished more big things for the better
ment of men and women. Probably
few persons of the present generation
have ever heard Of this gifted woman.
She was born at Newport, N. H., De-
tober "a, 1888, and died in Philadel-
phia, April 80, 1879. She was not a
college woman, but was taught by her
mother. In 1918, at the age of twenty
five, she married a lawyer, David Hale.
a brother of Salma Hale. historian and
at one time a member of congress
from New Hampshire. Nine years la
ter she was left widow with five chill
dren. She was genuine, Old-fash-
Toned American woman, and did not
clamor for governmental or individual
aid. She was quite content to go to
work. In 1928 she became editor Of
the Ladies' Magazine, which had re-
Gently been started in Boston. She
successfully edited this publication I'M
til 1887. when it was merged with God
ey's Ladies' Book. She continued with
the latter publication until 1877.
Much Work Well Done.
Editing a magazine is usually con-
sidered pretty big job in itself. Mrs.
Hale, however, seemed to find time for
many other things. She organized the
Seaman's Aid society in Boston, which
Is the parent Of similar organizations
now existing in most ports. The COM
pletion of the Bunker Hill monument
was also partly due to the efforts of
this little woman. She persuaded the
women of New England to raise $780,
600 for that purpose.
The plan of educating women for
medical and missionary service in for
eign lands was inaugurated by Mrs.
Hale. She devoted number of years
TO this effort, finally succeeding
through the organization of the Ladies'
Medical Missionary society of Phila-
delphia, and the Woman's Union Mis-
sionary Society for Heather Lands, in
New York.
Throughout her editorial work Mrs.
Male urged the practical advancement
OF women, advocating their employ
meht as teachers and the establish
ment of seminaries for their higher ed
ucation.
Thanksgiving In 1777.
It was in the early forties that Mrs.
Hale began her campaign for making
Thanksgiving national holiday and
its celebration on the same day all
over the country. 1t was then the
custom for different localities to OBJ
