WADLEY, JR, Vacancy By ELMO SCOTT WATSON DAY Is thy oldest of THANKSGIVING our national American holidays older by a hundred and fifty yean than Inde-peadenco day, older by more than twf "Ami umm." mli Of hundred years than Memorial day, and . nearly three hundred yean older than Armistice day. For this anniversary dates from the year 1621, and how It originated is so familiar a atoiy to every American that it need not bo reseated tee except la ' vivid poetic fashion as given In tbs adjoining column. Although Thanksgiving day is now SOS years .old, this does not mean that it hgs been observed ; ' every year for that length of time, as Is the case with other holidays, such as Christmas and New la - ; Year's, which this nation shares with other fact, surprising as It may be to many, there wars a great many years In which Thanksgiving was not observed, except possibly la New England, where It originated, and even there It was not observed annually without Interruption. It may also bo news to many Americans to learn that Thanksgiving wan not always celebrated In November. In Maaeacbneetta Thanksgiving day .was celebrated only eighteen times daring tbs period between lift and 1082, and of this number only three of these observances came In November. How would it seem to celebrate Thanksgiving la the middle of summer! Bather inappropriate, wouldn't It be! And yet four of these early New . England celebrations were held In June; two ta July, ono In August, but the remainder 'came during month of the cooler reasons. In fact, summer Thanksgiving day celebrations remained fairly frequent until after the year 1700. ( Nor were all of the Thanksgivings observed in gratitude, as Is the ease now, for material prosperity, for bountiful crape, an abundance of food end the like. At least three of the early Thanksgivings in Boston were held to give thanks because the city had been saved from earthquakes a few daya previously. Such was the case exactly two hundred yearn ago when on Thanksgiving, 1727, a sermon was delivered ta the old North church nnder the title of "A Thunder and Earthquake Call to Reformation." On that occasion the minister led hie flock In thanksgiving services because they bad been saved from death In a severe earthquake earlier In the week. Thanksgiving; 1774, Is also associated with an earthquake, although this was 1cm serious In Its effects than the first one. And s third earthquake wsa followed by a thanksgiving and s sermon In the old South church. But earthquakes were not the only causa for thanksgiving celebrations In the early daya. On , February 22, 1630, a great public Thanksgiving service was held In Boston In celebration of tha ssfo arrival of ships bringing food and friends from across tha Atlantic. It is curious to .note that the Thanksgiving of 1749 was held because of relief from the most severs stretcb of hot weather that the Massachusetts colonists had This sultry spell lasted tor three . yver known. luouths, during which Innumerable swarms of worms and grasshoppers preyed on vegetation, - brooks dried up and fishes died In the rivers, which etnnk so that people In the vicinity nearly aufflocateA In 1675 the colonists were engaged In n life and death ntruggle with the Indiana nnder the leadership of the great King Philip and there waa no thanksgiving celebration that year. But at tha conclusion of ono of tha numerous warn with tha French and tha Indiana In 1742 there were two such celebrations. For more than 150 years Thanksgiving remained as a strictly New England celebration, and it waa not until after the Republic had been established that the observance became a national affair. In 1780, Just before congress adjourned soon after adopting Che Constltutlao, fSlas Bon-dlnof New Jersey introduced a resolution culling upon the President to act aside a day of public , thanksgiving and prayer. It le a carious (Bet that . apparently' not all of the members of congress were in a thankful mood at that time. The . Annals of Congress show that when Boudlnot Introduced hie resolutliM requesting the President to "recommend to the people of the United States a day of public thanksgiving and prayer, to be Cm w. pjU M a -- forty-one-ye- sr t it - , of a century and we owe 111 adoption, and especially its observance on tho last Thursday la November, to another great PraMdent, Abraham Lincoln. The rammer of 1861 was gloomy ono for the nation. The memory of the disaster at Ban Run was still fresh la the sda of the people and the destruction of tbs oaawed Imminent On August 12 Lincoln Issued a proclamation designating the last Tbnro day la September as a day of humiliation, prayer and footing. How conscious be was of tin need or gneb a day la shown by tho wording of the doctfment: "WberMA when ear own beloved country, once, by the blessing of God, united, prosperous and happy, la how afflicted with faction and dvO war, It to peculiar!!; fit for us to recognise the hand of God la this terrible visitation and Ip sorrowful remembrance of our own faults and crimes aa a nation and aa individual!, to hnmble ourselves before Him and to pray for His mercy." As a result of this proclamation thousands of persona throughout the North refrained from food on that day and prayed for the nation's salvation. Tba regular Thanksgiving celebration of the New England states, and others to whom the old Pilgrim custom had spread, waa a rather subdued and quiet one that year. Tbe next year Lincoln Issued a proclamation on April 10 asking tbs people of the North to meet st their customary places of worship to giro thanks for tbe victories of the Union armies early In tho year. But during tbs rammer the tide swung strongly In favor of tho Confederate armies and again tha customary Thanksgiving day after harvest time waa a somewhat gloomy affair. Tho momentous year of 1868 brought forth throe The first, dated March 8, desproclamation ignated April 80 as day of testing and prayer. Oa Jnly 15 (following the victories at Gettysburg and Vicksburg) tbs President Issued another one setting Angnst 6 os day to give thanks at the prospects of peace. By this time tba Idea of instituting a national day of thanksgiving seems to have been pretty strongly established to Lincolns mind. Tha outlook for the Union cause seemed bright and on October 8, 1863. he Issued a proclamation which Mtablished tha precedent tor Thanksgiving day, as w now observe It waa in this document that he used the phraseology which has become so familiar In all subsequent Thanksgiving proclamations by onr Presidents. "The year now drawing to its dose has been filled with tbe blessing of fruitful fields and healthful skies, 1 . . And so tbs last Thursday lu November is hereby act apart as the day of thanksgiving and praise. TJie next year President Lincoln, on July 7, by direction of congreee designated the flrat Thursday of Augnst as "a day of national humiliation and prayer. On October 20 of the same year bs Issued his second and last regular thanksgiving proclamation setting apart the last Thursday ta November for observance of the day. Before that day arrived it waa definitely known that Lincoln by an overwhelming majority had been chosen to succeed himself. Tbe prospects for an early end m the war seemed more favorable so that this was an auspicious occasion for a great .thanksgiving celebration. By- - 1867 Thanksgiving day had come to be recognized as an annual event and in that year President Andrew Jackson followed the precedent set by Lincoln and in his proclamation said: In conformity with a recent custom that may t now be regarded as established on national and approval, I hereby," etc. From this date down to the present time the custom Insug-rated by Lincoln has been observed by every President So the day of thanksgiving Brel observed more than 800 years ago by one small section of the country and celebrated st Irregular Intervals even by the people of that section, an anniversary which gained official recognition only 00 years ago, baa become a flxture in our calscale, until with endar, observed on s nation-wid- e til of the tradition which has gathered around It it la one of the most important events la tht yearly existence of the average American. three-quarte- Tho Fint Thrnnksgioing ...

More thnn that ha thought It was a matter for the several states to decide (he was from South Carolina, destined to be the leading exponent of states' rights) and not for congress. But despite this and other objections, tha measure was passed and aa a result of this resolution President George Washington Issued such a proclamation on Octo-- ' ber 8, establishing tha first Thanksgiving by Presidential proclamation on November 28 of that year.
