THANKSGIVING DAY
As the American Thanksgiv­
ing day rolls round again, one
thinks of the significance of that
occasion in the early days of our
land. Among all people thanks­
giving days have always been,
but the American annual celebra­
tion is unique. There looms up
beside visions of fat, savory tur­
keys and tempting mince pies,
the pictures of harvest gather­
ing as we have learned to think
o f them in the davs when the
Pilgrim Fathers instituted the
holiday as a holy day, signifying
their appreciation of the bles­
sings which America afforded.
As early as 1621, when Governor
Bradford sent forth men to pro­
cure game that the New Eng­
land colonists might enjoy a day
o f thanksgiving in remembrance
of the fruits of their labors dur­
ing the year, the annual celebra­
tion was instituted.
It did not
become an official public holiday
until 1631, and even the day of
that year set apart was not at
first intended to be a day of re
joicing and thanksgiving.
It
was a day of fasting and prayer
for relief from the famine which
seemed imminent.
Just then
everything for the white man’s
necessity was produced upon
American soil, and a vessel laden
with provisions had been so long
at sea that the colonists began
to fear that they should suffer
want before help was near. The

Many a good scheme designed

proved in the end more detrimen­

some particular, either in method
or principles it was a trangres-

caused the whole mass to become
unsavory.

hymn:
“ Frail children of dust.

This truth is pressed on him

it is then that he feels his physi­

down sick, he just lies still, but
on returning to health he is rest­
less and wants to get into action,
and on trying to, finds that he
