Post-war times are always trying
ones. Hence it is with a little more
sympathetic understanding than usual
that we read the lines of a quaint old
Thanksgiving hymn, bearing the date
of 1783. Its author is unknown, but its
sentiment holds true today, though we
may wish to change the name of our
first President to that of some later
leader.
The Lord above, In tender love.
Hath saved us from our foes.
Through Washington the thing is done;
The war is at a close.
America has won the day
Through Washington, our chief;
Come, let us rejoice with heart and voice
And bid good-by to grief.
Let us agree, since we are free.
All needless things to shun;
And lay aside all pomp and pride.
Like our great Washington.
Though we do not proclaim this
anonymous writer as a second Shake
speare, let us follow his counsel by
bidding farewell to grief, by laying
aside pride and pomp, and turning
this Thanksgiving season into one in
which we remember only our mercies
and blessings, which are many. "Come,
let us rejoice with heart and voice,"
for what we have, if It be but little,
helping the less fortunate, if It be an
abundance.

ALL AMERICAN
Though Its Origin Was Pagan,
Thanksgiving Is Peculiarly
of This Country.
Pilgrim Fathers Gave Religious Char
acter to Celebration Which for
Centuries Had Been Occasion Only
for Material Jollification.
People who do not chloroform their
sense of fun before starting to read
history have had many a chuckle over
the Pilgrim and Puritan festival of
Thanksgiving. These early settlers of
New England were so militantly Chris
tian that they could not bear any sug
gestion of an earlier creed. They
objected to Christmas as "heathenish,"
because it contained—as it still con
tains—so many relies of pre-Christian
days. Having done this, they turned
round, seized on the most thoroughly
pagan of all celebrations, that of the
gathered harvest, and made it an insti
tution that has grown and spread for
three centuries, is the indictment
drawn by a writer In an eastern maga
zine.
But the joke is not all on the Pil
grims. True, they went back to a fes
tival which has been held ever since
man began to plant and gather crops;
but they made of it something peculiar
ly modern, Christian, and, at the last,
A inert "an.
They gave a religious character to
a celebration which for ages had been
a purely material jollification, and
made ii a part of the community's pub
lic policy; an occasion for coming to
gether in common aspirations, hopes
and gratitude. All the changes and
developments of the last 300 years
have not been able to change the es
sential character of the Pilgrim
Thanksgiving. How many inventions
of today will last so long?
The first Thanksgiving feast, held
in the fall of 1621, was not ordained
by formal proclamation. The colony
was too small to need such a notice.
But the circumstances under which
the celebration was held are told in
Governor Bradford's history in a way
well worthy of quotation :
They (the colonists) begane now to
gather in the small harvest they had,
and to fitte up their houses and dwell

covered in health & strength, & had

were thus imployed in affaires abroad,

Humility Goes With Thanks.
Thanksgiving Is essentially a re
ligious holiday. Like Christmas, it has
lost something of its significance
through the overemphasizing of Its sec
ular features. The other holidays
commemorate the birth or the deeds of
great men or perpetuate the memory
of great events. They speak to the
mind In Its happiest moods, telling
over a record of glorious actions and
repeating reasons for contentment and
love of country. Thanksgiving day
ought at least to suggest the virtue
of humility.
