The Origin OF Thanksgiving

"Thank God from Whom all blessings flow Many
speakers and writers have used this passage oil scrip
tlre as sprngboard from which to Jump INTO theif
THANKSGIVING subject In describing the origin OF Thanks
giving we cannot help but say that the first observance
was not real Thanksgiving Day History does snow tha
the Pilgrim Fathers did pause and feast on game lS
wild fruit and vegetables in October 1921. This ceIe
braton followed year of bountiful harvest and the 90
servance was purely merry making and very little or ne
thanks was piven to God for merces. Some historians
agree that on this day the Pilgrims in sense forgot
God The following year filled with misfortune
famine came upon people, the were short ana
the drought withered the in the fields ana burn
ed the gardens AS result day of special prayer was
followed by long refreshing rain and at the same time
a ship loaded with friends and supplies was sighted
So the Governor appointed day for public thankSglV
Sfng Although unlike the first celebration the occasion
was also different from the present Thanksgiving Day
For this occasion history gives account OF all thanks
to God with very feasts 1t was not until 1876
that we find record of a celebration such we now
keep History shows that during the 1886 the colon
lists in Plymouth Colony gathered in the meeting houses
beginning at 80 and continued until after II noon with
Psalm-singng, prayer andnsermons The ceremony was
followed by great turkey dinners in the afternoon
Other dates historic value that pertain to Thanks
giving are: December TIT November, 1889; November
1864 and November 1910.
During the Revolutionary War Congress approved
December IS to be observed generally Thanksgiving
Dav In the first year Of his office President of the
United States George Washington issued proclamation
recommending that November 26 be kept day of ma
tiona thanksgiving. 1864 President Abraham Lincoln
issued proclamation in which he approved and set aside
the last Thursday in November national day of
THANKSGIVING Each president following Lincoln issued
similar proclamation endorsing the last Thursday il

This date remained until during the second term of
