Thanksgiving Reveries and Queries J- ' f"sw Thanksgiving is the tlrst of Ameri ca' own holiday. As the earliest to he et apart tta observance run through the whole history of the na tion. Like most other distinctive fea tures of our American order of life It sprung up out of the local soli. It waa at first and for many years colonial. It became national only as Its ob servance spreud from town to town, from colony to colony, from state to state. While it ha a historical Interest all tta own. Thanksgiving Is Identified with no single event, no special occa sion, no definite date In our nlBtory. It recall no ilngle art, us doe "In dependence day." It commemorates the name and service of no man, as do the birthdays of Washington and Lin coln. It Is not shared with other peo ples as are Christmas and New Yeara. Day Identified With All. "BpauTsTTana Jtwilhlla, wtth noTfew or feeble negro traits, and toila, and some relics of Indian and old Mexican civilisation. The human conquest and amazing development ot this new con tinent cannot be accounted for without crediting much to the toil and many other enrichments of tbs Latin, Slavic and southeastern European immi grants.

For amber waves of grain. For purpU mountain majsstles Above ths fruited plain. 1 America. America, Ood ssnd His grace on thee. And crown thy good with brother hood From ssa to shining sea.

May Ood thy gold reflae, 'Till all succe.ee be nobleneea And every grain divine. Holiday of the Home. Thanksgiving la a day sacred to the heme. More of It Is spent st borne than at chorcb, In family reunions than in public assemblies. In serving the needy, the lonely, and the home less than In formal services of wor ship. Its sanctuary Is the thoughtful, thankful heart more than tbe house of worsnlp. Who that hss lived In sny of our oldest colonial state, especially In New England, can ever forget, or fall to have a glow of heart at every remembrance of the real home Thanks giving day a observed on the soil from which It sprang? At the very mention of It. what vision reappear, of the long preceding preparation for It at the old family homestead ; of the letter flying forth and back between the old folk at home and the scat tered young folks in their new homes, or transient abodea ; of tne railway station platform and cars thronged by merry home-bound children of an older-growth, and children's children ; of greetings st the threshold of tbe old farm house or village home, mingling the smiles and laughter of the living with tears or silent, sorrowing, undy ing yearning for "the touch of a van ished hand and tne sound of s voire that Is itlir ; of the bountifully laden, beautifully decorated family table, with America' fatted turkey a a "welcome home," Instead of the "fatted calf of ancient days.
