H E S S E L ’S IN T H E IR OWN MANNER N otin g the observance o f a national holi day on Novem ber 24, we g ive consideration again to the m atter o f thanksgiving as we gath er around a groaning table and indulge in a traditional sampling o f all the plentiful food that is ours. The P ilgrim fathers, at the beginnings o f our national existence, started Thanksgiv ing Day in response to the gratitude they fe lt a fte r a year in a strange new wilderness, legend tells us. Preparations were no doubt extended over a week’s time, with the colo nists sallying forth in pursuit o f wild turkeys and th eir wives s e n d in g patient hours over th eir cooking equipment to prepare delica cies fo r the firs t Thanksgiving Day. A fte r better than three centuries, the physical aspects o f this firs t observance are still noted. But Thanksgiving Day has be come more an occasion fo r fam ilies -to re unite fo r a day o f feasting and sociability. I t m ight well be assumed that, on the firs t Thanksgiving Day, there was feasting and sociability. But the significant reason fo r the whole a ffa ir was a devout thankful ness o f God’s blessings that made possible the overcom ing o f hardship and privation that tried the settlers’ sorely in th eir stru g gles o f existence in a new and foreign land. There is less such a note, these days, on Thanksgiving Day. O f course, editorial w riters beat th eir heads against typew riters and m inisters stand up in pulpits, pointing out the things fo r which we should all lx* thankful. Such a task is not too d ifficu lt o f execu tion. W e may be pr«|>erly thankful fo r a numlier o f blessings.
