In the great catas trophe of nations we have suffered lew and gained more than any other. In the annals of history no people have advanced so fast nor attained so great ly. Did we do this! Are we what we are. and possess what we have because of our superior wisdom and activity? Can we slap our chests and proclaim ourselves pre-eminent through our own might? A mere cursory glance over our record proves the contrary, proves. Indeed, a guidance and support with out which we would still be Insignifi cant.

Days set apart for special thanksgiving to the Lord were known to the Israelites and are mentioned throughout the Bible. They were not uncommon In England before the Reformation and among Protestants afterward. The first thanksgiving held tn North America was conducted by an Eng lish minister named Wolfall, In 1578, on the shores of Newfoundland. The pastor accompanied the expedition un der Frobisher, which brought the first English colony to settle on those shores. The earliest record of any observ ance of a similar service within the present territory of tbe United States was held by the I'opham colony set tled at .Sagadahoc, on the coast of Maine, In August, 1607. But the real origin of Thanksgiv ing as n day specially set apart for prayer and rejoicing must be attrib uted to Governor Bradford, first gov ernor of Massachusetts colony. In gratitude for the plenteous harvest of 1621. following upon a period of great depression, he proclaimed a day of thanksgiving to be observed pecember 13 (old style) of that year. In practical furtherance of his proc lamation he at once sent out four men in search of game. Thu* early In the history of the day does our good friend the turkey make Ills appearance; for, successful in their quest, the four sportsmen returned, struggling under a burden of wild fowl, principally tur keys, sufficient to meet the wants of the colony for a week. • fa • * Thunderbolt 0 X "Ü c « o X STARTLING LOW PRICES ON SOME OF THE BEST SELLING MERCHANDISE WELL WORTH YOUR STUDY.
