Under the frowning battlements of the black forest they lifted their roof trees snd muscled their walls with oak, laid open the new soil and cast the shining grain, forgetful in labor and hope of their great loneliness. lone-liness. A ND now their strong, small cab- ins stood, seamed with snow, in the utter whiteness of the clearing. clear-ing. The blue smoke of their sturdy chimneys drifted warmly against the black wall of the wilderness and their hearths were ruddy with deep embers. THE harvest was bountiful. The dark barns were musty with maize and bulging pumpkins glowed in the light of the candle. The walls of the cabins were festooned with dry herbs and at each door hung the frozen carcass of a wild beast. THE dark ocean thundered with winter storms. The vast wilderness wilder-ness frowned. Death lurked in the forest and the clearing. Men hid died from ax wounds and arrows Children had perished of starvation and disease and young wives had died in motherhood. Over each door hung the weapons of hunt and warfare. Life was grim and heroic with Odyssean uncertainty. B UT there were the rooftree and bin and the stripped carcass by the door. This was their home; only death could dispossess them. Their minds and their hearts were their own and not even death could dispossess dis-possess them. Here a man miht speak as he pleased and pray as he pleased. He could not as! for more, having known the wrongs of oppression and the terrors of the wide sea and s strange land. A ND so a day was set aside for Thanksgiving to God for H; great goodness, for the boon of life, for rooftree and fire and food and the privilege of the thankful heart. On that day. between the stormy sea and the awful wilderness, thece people sang and feasted on the small bounty of the first harvest. Hubert Kelley, in the Kansas City Star. 1 bdiihgiving Thanks!
