' ' . There was no Thanksgiving proclamation proc-lamation In November, 1778. Congress did, Indeed, pass a resolution summoning sum-moning the people, of the several colonies colo-nies to assemble, but In prayer for deliverance, not of thanksgiving. The American cause seemed at that moment mo-ment to be all but hopeless. Washington Wash-ington was retreating across New Jersey. Leaving Newark on the 28th of November with an army of 5,000 that gradually dwindled, he crossed the Raritan with scarcely 3.500 starving starv-ing and half-naked troops. In New York, then In the hands of the Brit-lsS, Brit-lsS, General Howe was issuing a proclamation proc-lamation which might have been considered con-sidered a proclamation of thanksgiving thanksgiv-ing for some". It was one of pardon to all who would renounce the Declaration Decla-ration of Independence Twenty-seven hundred Accepted. But this only augmented the ills of those who still stood out for Independence, and Increased In-creased the Jeopagjy In which their lives and possessions were put Nation's Early Sufferings. The infant republic, surrounded by foes, for the Indians were rising, was also suffering from the condition which has lately been epidemic In Europe a depreciated currency. The news that American representatives had succeeded in getting aid from France in the way of uniforms and equipment f6r soldiers and other supplies sup-plies bad not yet become known to the Washington troops, whose route as they approached the Delaware "was easily traced, as there was a little snow on the ground, which was tinged here and there with blood from the feet of the men who wore broken shoes.". It was In these desperate days that Washington wrote to his brother saying that If every nerve was not strained to recruit a new army to take the place of the troops whose term of enlistment was expiring, expir-ing, he thought the game was "pretty near up." The flame of the camp-fires camp-fires about which those who remained faithful to the desperate cause were gathered furnished, however, a hopeful hope-ful ray for Polne's "times that try men's eouls." Now Blessed Above Others. It is with such a background of extremity, approaching defeat, that the country which these patriot souls suffered to make Independent comes to Its national Thanksgiving today. With a third of the wealth of the world In its hands, as has been estimatedand esti-matedand with most of the gold with abounding crops and "much goods laid up for many years," we have collective material reason for gratitude beyond any other people on the face of the earth. But In con NEW ENGLAND 1111 GAVE I Thm king and high priest of all festivals was the autama Thanksgiving. When the apples were ail gathered and the cider was all made, and the yellow yel-low pumpkins were rolled in from many a hill in billows of gold, and tba corB was husked, and the labors of tba season were done, and the warm, late days of Indian summer came in dreamy and calm and still, . luere came over the community a sort of genial repos of spirit a sense of .i:. ..nn!!,kd! . . and the deacon besan to ssv to the minister, of a Sundays "I sopposo it's about tima for tba Thanksgiving procUmatica."'

Gratitude for these things? Yes, but with a consciousness of the obligation which that sufficiency brings and with no thought of taking our ease in the earth or letting It go Its own way while we enjoy our goods in self-indulgent Isolation. One hundred fifty years ago our an cestors prayed for deliverance from restrictions upon their rightful lib erty. Today our prayer should also be for deliverance as well as In thanksgiving deliverance from the arrogance of self-sufficiency, from the pride of material power, from swaggering swag-gering claims of superiority. We have learned to endure hardship, we have proved to the world our active and helpful sympathy for suffering wherever wher-ever It has come to mankind, we have demonstrated also our resourcefulness and ingenuity In difficulty and our fearlessness in danger. We" nave known how to face adversity. Our prayer in the prosperity that has come upon us is that we also should "know how to abound." Better Form of Prayer. It were better that we should Join all humanity in the simple thanksgiving thanks-giving prayer which Eplctetus suggested sug-gested : "Ought we not when we are digging and plowing and eating to sing this hymn to God : 'Great is God, Who has given us suchjmplements with which we shall cultivate the earth; great Is God, Who has given us hands, the power of swallowing, a stomach, imperceptible im-perceptible growth, and the ower of breathing while we sleep.' " , Bur the real things to be thankful for lie still deeper in the friendships of the spirit of men and of nations.
