Thanksgiving Day has !. long been
associated in our minds with the first
harvest thanksYl dng celebrated by
the Pilgrim Fathers at Plymouth iii
1921. Through the ensuing years of
American life occasional days of
thanksgiving were appointed by those
in authority. George Washington NAM
ed one in 1889 and one in 1895; James
Madison in 1915.
It has been the inclination and prac-
tice of our people in times of great
emotional stress, whether in fear OF
calamity or in gratitude for safety, to
turn to God with prayers for preserva-
ton or. gratitudaS fM peace.
But it remained for Abraham Lin
coin, as spiritually minded as any
man who has been the head Of our
government, to issue the first regular
annual Thanksgiving Day Froclama-
ton, calling upon the people to OBJ
serve the last Thursday in Novem-
Der as ga day ofwThanksgiving and
Praise to our beneficient Father, who
dwelleth in the Heavens"
Mrs. Sarah Joseph Hale, for many
years CulLOl VI Illdt NCAy popular 111dS-
azine for women and the home,
"Godey's Ladies' Book" had a part,
perhaps very significant one, in this
matter.
In 1851 Mrs Hale began urging that
there be a THANKSGIVING Day of
Peace" when 1--WE lay aside our
enmities and strife. Ion this day."
Her idea for days armistice failed
as might have been expected, but she
did not give IN her underlying idea.
Thirteen Years of Effort.
Since 1850 she had been appealing,
to each successive President to APP
point such a day, in the manner of
George Washington. Fillmore, Piece,
and Buchanan had replied to her COM
munication. but no definite result had
been obtained, perhans for lack Of
any situation bringing people and
President to the msntal attitude nee
essary to inspire such an act.
In September, 1863, Mrs. Hale wrote
TO the President, recalling Washinq-
tons proclamations for days of
thanksgiving, and stlcgeetifsg that his

The editor of feGodcy's" had already

In this connection it may he noted

Abraham Lincoh's Thanksgiving
The first annual proclamation issued by great
President severty-five years ago.

1t was the woman editor of
wOmen's magazine who had much
to do with the establishment of
our annual Thanksgiving Day in
the United States. Cautiously
and persistently she pressed the
matter, by editorials, letters, and
personal visits, until in 1868 her
efforts were rewarded. Mr.. Far
rington tells the Interesting story
in this article.
Lincoln's Proclamation is mark
ed by the clarity and dignity Of
his Gettysburg Address, which has
long been model of English in
the schools; and every Christian
reader will realize that the Bible
is woven into it. We shall do well
to ponder it's thoughtful phrases
and heed its earnest plea for hui
initiation and prayer as we look
forward to Thanksgiving Day this
year.
