trenchers, for so they were called, for
each person. Usually two children Or
a man and wife ate from one trench
er. Forks were almost unknown, in
fact the first fork was introduced by
Governor Winthrop in Boston twelve
years later. There were spoons, how
ever, and drinking cups and 'noggins"
which were sort of mug with ham

hand and lip to lip around the board.
No Holiday for Women.
The first Thanksgiving celebration
lasted several days rather than just
one 1t was time of recreation and
games-for the men at least. One can
not imagine four women and the few
young girls having much time for rec
reation when they must prepare the
food for 121 men, 81 of whom were
Indians with an unbounded capacity
for gorging. And this for several
days!
Doubtless the deer and great tur-
keys were roasted in the open, the
remainder of the feast being cooked
in huge pots and kettles of copper
hanging from the "lug pole" in the
center of the fireplace which occupied
the greater part of one side of the
room.
After this first Thanksgiving, many
followed, several being celebrated in
one year. We of today wonder at

THE MARYLAND BIBLE SOCIETYS CORNER
''The Word of Our God Shall Stand Forever"

While additional light is constantly
being thrown upon the authenticity of
the Hold Scriptures by the discoveries
of archaeologists, yet it is startling
fact that not single original manu-
script of the Sacred Book remains.
The oldest manuscripts in existence
are the Codex Sinaiticus and Codex
Vaticanus, both written about the 4th
century A. D., and are manuscripts of
the New Testament, written in Greek;
the most ancient manuscripts of the
Old Testament are scarcely thousand
years old.
Many causes may be assigned to ac-
count for this disparity, among them
the following: AS the Christians made
but little use of he Hebrew BIZ
BILE, the number of Hebrew manu-
scripts in existence from the third to
the tenth century was not one-tenth,
perhaps not one-twentieth of the num-
Der of the Greek manuscripts of the
New Testament, consequently the
probability of their destruction was
proportionately greater than that of
the New Testament manuscripts.
The Jews have been wanderers on
the face of the earth for centuries,
having no place of abode. This no.
madic life has been, unfavorable to
the preservation of their sacred writ
ings, while the converts of TIE Chris
tians existing from the early CEN
turtles of the Church to the present,
have been safe repositories for the
Christian Scriptures. The convent
has been the ark by which the man.
uscripts have been safely transmitted
through the weltering floods of de-

struction which threatened them I'M
til they have come to rest on the
Ararat of our more peaceful times.
Another cause was the destruction
by the Jewish rabbis of those manu-
scripts which did not conform to the
pointed Hebrew text after that had
been established by the Masorites.
A custom that existed among the
Jews of burying with distinguished
teachers their worn manuscripts may
account for a still further loss of
many of their most valuable docu-
ments.
Without attempting any description
of the most ancient and valuable of
the Hebrew manuscripts, we shall
name them in the order of Importance
indicated by scholars.
The best and most celebrated of all
the codices of the Old Testament is
that which takes its name from Rabbi
Aaron ben-Mose ben-Asher, who
lived at Liberals in the 10th Century.
1t is regarded by rabbis as a model
Codex of the Old Testament Scrip
lures. The manuscript is preserved
at Beroea. Then there is the Codex
of the Prophets, preserved at Cairo.
A Codex of the Later Prophets, pre-
served in the British Museum, and a
Codex of the Later Prophets preserv-
ed at Leipzig. Many manuscripts are
preserved at Odessa. In this fine col
lection is one whole Bible, written
about A. D. 1910.
A variety of readings is found in
the Hebrew manuscripts, but there is
substantial agreement among them,
as in the Synoptic Gospels.

their courage to hold Thanksgiving.
feasts when there seems to have been
so little to be thankful for.
In the mind of the Puritan, Christ
mas and it's celebration was nothing
short of idolatry. This was the day
TO be spent in religious service. But
Thanksgiving was the day of family
reunion and feasting.
Eighteenth Century Thanks.
The next Thanksgiving celebrations
of which we read are those which re-
CURED days and even weeks of prep
aration. We read the description of
one table, which surely must have
groaned under it's weight of delicious
ness.
ION one end of the table was the
big roast turkey and on the other
goose and two pigeon pastries. There
was abundance of vegetables" Be
sides these there were huge chimes of
roast pork and venisOn.
And still the same letter bemOans
the fact that they were unable to have
roast beef because of the scarcity due
to the war! The letter finishes with
this paragraph:
sour mince pies were good, though
we had to use dried cherries instead
of raisins and venison instead of beef.
The pumpkin pies, apple tarts, and big
Indian buildings lacked for nothing
save appetite by the time we got
around to them" Do you wonder?
Setting Day Aside.
The celebration of a certain day
for Thanksgiving was not universal
until 1864 when President Lincoln is
sued a proclamation appointing the
fourth Thursday in November with
a view of having a day kept there
after annually without interruption.
The Presidents assassination the next
year almost caused suspension of
his own rule until President Johnson
appointed the last Thursday in Novem-
Der.
Nevertheless 1t is Eye oyster
stewed," "turkie," corn and pumpkin
which were served in the Pilgrim days
that still play the leading roles in our
Thanksgiving menus of today. And
Just as in those early years, it is still
day of family gatherings and feast
ing. So while the Thanksgiving cele-
brations conform with the dictates of
our day there still remain shades and
shadows OF the past which enrich it
and make it the happier.

Let us turn our thoughts back far
Their than our own experiences. Back
indeed to the first Thanksgiving in
America and there watch the prep
