Show IN TUAIs DAYS OF PAST THANKSGIVING A A. - ' JT Thanksgiving la generally believed to have commenced with the advent of the Pilgrim fathers, and therefore a legacy to us from New England. But when the true facts In the .cbbo come to light we find that Thanksgiving day was tirst celebrated by I'opham colonists at Monhegan, who joined in "Giving God thanks" for their safe arrival and muny blessings In the ritual laid down in the Thanksgiving service of the Church of Knglund prayer book. It Is known with what antipathy the early Puritans regarded any and all of the holy days of the English church, and the celebration of such was sternly forbidden in New England. How many of us know that days for giving thanks were set apart in Europe long before the reformation and were observed by the Church of England many years before the Pilgrims landed? T The first Tbankpslvlng In this country was not set apart as a day of religious observance, but for recreation. On December H, XC21, Edward Wins-lowrote home to England the following very quaint account of the week's ., program : ' "Our harvest being gotten In, our governor sent four men out fowliug so we might in a special manner rejoice together after we had gathered the fruits of our labors. The four killed so much fowl that with a little help served the company about a week. Among other recreations were exer-clee- s with our arms. Many of the came amongst us and among them-UiPir greatest king Massasoit with some- ninety men, w bom we for three- days feasted and entertained. They went out and killed Ave deer, which they brought In and bestowed on our governor, upon the. captains and others." So we get a good Idea of tkhos-pltalitoffered In those days. We learn, too, from Governor Iiradford, that wild turkeys were plentiful, so we feel a reasonable assurance that the turkey has a long and ancient lineage and prestige not to be usurped by any other bird on our Thanksgiving day i i Lamene I'M Sloan's Liniment la ft speedy, reliable remedy for latneneaa In horses and farm stock.

There were only four of them, with one servant "and a few young nitidi klns." There Is no record to be found of any religious worship during this week of feasting. In 1628 the second Thanksgivlt day was ordered and observed by the Pilgrim fathers. Early Thanksgivings are not always celebrated In November nor upon Thursday, and it Is not until 1677 that we find the first printed Thanksgiving proclamation, now owned by the Massachusetts Historical society. It is interesting to note that since 1862 tbe president of the United States has set the last Thursday in November to be observed as a day of And harking back to thanksgiving. Pilgrim days, what a vast difference. Compare the harvest then and the harvest now. Whether our forefathers were ever actually reduced to the traditional five gralne of corn each. Is a fact not decided by history, but it Is true that they returned thanks for the most meager fare and endured tbe most grinding hardships without a murmur. Like our forbears we make 'of tbe day a great time for feasting and games and not so much of church froing. It Is a day for family reunions and a day of abundant opportunity for making a cause of Thanksgiving in tbe "other fellow's" heart. e THraaFioa FOR THE TIME . sir; certainly.

WITH Thanksgiving: The act of rendering thanks, expressing gratitude for favors or mercies; a public celebration of di- vine goodness. Thanksgiving day: A day set apart for religious services In acknowledgment of the divine goodness. By nature man is religious; and Thanksgiving duy is an annual reminder of this Innate tendency. The very first Thanksgiving and the manner of Its observance are not very well defined in history. Perhaps the following paragraph will give as sue-clan epitome as Is possible at this remote distance: "The fishermen were ordered to 'scour the seas for spoil,' the hunters 'to shoulder their matchlocks and bring in such game as would allow the Mayflower colony In a more special manner to rejoice together.' The result was a supply of wild turkey, deer, bear and game of every ort In such abuudunee as amply to feed the colony for a week. They had as guests the friendly chief, Massasoit, and 90 of his Indians. The Indians contributed to the fount five deer and a great basket of oysters. This was the introduction of the young colony to Its afterward favorite shellfish, and the women cooked them as they best know how. The menu of that Immortal dinner has not, alas been preserved, but It is known that the two dishes moBt fully appreciated by the Indians as well as the Americans were the 'brown roast turkey' and the 'pumpkin pie.' The great feast of the week was outdoors, for the air was balmy and the sun bright. Massasoit was there in all the bravery ot a scarlet coat trimmed with lace and a copper chain, given hlra some time previous by Edward Wins-low- . In a strange medley of Indian garb and a borrow ing of European costume, cementing there the bond of friendship with the white settlers which held good 41 years." In letti Governor Bradford after the first harvest made provision for the colonlsus' rejoicing together with praise and prayer. In 1623 a day of fasting and prayer In the midst of drought was turned Into thanksgiving by tbe coming of rain duiin the prayers; gradually the custom prevailed of appointing annually a thanksgiving day after h&rvest. These appointments were made by the governor's proclamations. During the Revolutionary war a day of national thanksgiving w as annually recommended by congress. For many decades the president has annually appointed such a day and the governors of tbo various states have supplemented tbe same. "Words are but empty things." Since actions speak jouder than words thanksgiving le tbe noblest thanksgiv. ing. To ahound In thanksgiving I a Scriptural Injunction- - "See that ye do this." said PauL Bridegroom's Thanksgiving.
