Thanksgiving Day
Festival Long
Known to Man
In All Ages Special Occa
sions for Rejoicing t '
Have Called for
Observance. •
Thanksgiving day is older than the
authentic records of history. For vic
tory won, calamity survived, for good
hunting, man was assuredly giving
thanks long before he knew how to
classify himself In the world In which
he lived.
If the latest deductions of the scien
tists are right, man was contempo
raneous with some of the great beasts,
reptiles and birds which It was once
thought had the earth to themselves.
There must have been some rare out
bursts of Joy In that long ago when
our ancestors occasionally got the
best of an ichthyosaurus, put a dino
saur out of business, knocked out a
dinothérium, or killed a mammoth.
These were impromptu thanksgivings,
however, and usually of a strictly pri
vate nature. It wasn't safe in those
days to make too much noise about
such a victory ; the response might
come in the guise of a new attack by
a monster of laud or air, or from hu
mans whose desire to kill might be
based on Jealousy, greed or mere lust
for conquest. It is more than likly
that the victorious individual or fam
ily told the story of his or their prow
ess to a select few in the recesses of
their caves, when the entrances there
to had been made secure for the night.
First Formal Thanksgiving.
Newfoundland was the scene of the
first recorded formal Thanksgiving
service held on the continent. That
was In 1557, and it was conducted by
• clergyman who accompanied the ex
pedition which under Sir Martin Fro
bisher, a noted navigator and explorer,
had brought the first English Immi
grants to settle in North America.
That must have been a strange and
picturesque ceremony. Of itself the
Atlantic sea voyage In that age was
an adventure few but the most adven
turous undertook without fear,
the perils of the sea to what then
served for had
To
served for ships, had to be added the
dangers from ships of other nations,
and from the freebooters who knew
neither flag nor race when they had a
chance to loot and slay. Frobisher
and his rough sailonnen, no doubt,
took part in the service, though they
would not he st» impressed as were the
settlers at being oi^ land again
though that land was strange, and
their hearts full of fears and anxie
ties.
even
It Is a far cry from that observ
ance in the ancient colony to the
Thanksgiving of the present genera
tion. To the youth the day is synony
mous with holiday attractions, roast
turkey, and other appetizing delica
cies. To their elders there Is inter
woven in the joys of family reunions
and social intercourse and thanksgiv

and sincere tributes to the men whose
valor and endurance In the World

er*a time, though the basic principle
has remained. The Pilgrim Fathers
gave to it a coloring That has not
faded out entirely through succeeding
centuries. At the "ingathering" of
their first harvest In 1621, the people
who had come from the old ona to
establish a New England, held a serv
ice and celebration. Governor Brad
ford sent out four men to shoot wild
fowl, and they bagged enough, most
ly turkey according to the chroniclers,
to satisfy all the company for about
a week.
Edward Winslow, one of the May
flower's company, thus wrote of the
celebration to an English friend:
"Our harvest being gotten in our
governor sent four men on fowling,
that so we might, after a, special
manner, rejoice together after we had
gathered the fruit of our labors.
Provided for Feast.
"They four in one day killed as
many fowl as, with a little help be
side. served the - company almost a
week, at which lime, amongst other
recreations, we exercised our arms,
many of the Indians coming amongst
us, and among the rest their greatest
king, Massasot, with some ninety
men, whom for three days we enter
tained and feasted ; and they went out
and killed five dear, which they
brought to the plantation, and be
stowed ou our governor, and on the
captain and the others.
"And although It is not always so
plentiful as it was at this timé with
us, yet by the goodness of God, we
are so far from want, that we wish
you partakers of our plenty."
Miles Standish is said to have been
the captain of those who "exercised"
their arms and the armed men under
him are reputed to have numbered a
few more than twenty on this oc
casion.
Trials of endurance, races on land
and water, and exhibitions of skill
were part of the celebration from
day to day.

Feast Not Complete
Without the Pumpkin
To the ringing chorus of praise to
corn and wheat, to dairy cow and beef
steer, to fattening porker and fleece
lined sheep, we desire here and now to
now to
add our piping voice in a word of
praise to tfle punkin. Not pumpkin
—punkin. Nestling in yellow, globu
lar beauty amidst the corn rows, the
glorious pie punkin gives promise of
gustatory delights in the immediate
future. Gazing upon the punkin's gol
den rotundity one may almost catch
the incense of spice and cinnamon,
and taste the richness that is soon to
be. Flecking the brown and sere fields
with specks of gold, even as the aurif
erous metal flecks the quartz wrested
from Mother Earth by the pick of the
miner, the pie punkin adds to human
comfort while contributing to human
delight.
Of humble station, with few to
sing its praises, it has been the
standby of succeeding generations.
I Demanding little, it gives much. With
out it Thanksgiving would be a hollow
mockery. It graces alike the table
of the rich and aristocratic, and the
table of the toiler in humble place.
It has all season for Its own. for it
may be dried in festoons from the
rafters of the humble cottagç,
canned for storage in the cellars of
the well-to-do.—Omaha Bee.

Episcopal " Bishops' Crusade " Begins Jam 6th
Starts Nationwide Evangelistic Campaign
t Dispatches from Washington an

practical and militant Christianity
nto every hamlet and village
ihroughont the United States. One
if the most unique religious move
nents ever attempted in America is
planned, enlisting the foremost
pishops of the Episcopal Church,
with scores of its leading priests
and laymen of national reputation,
and women whose names are house
hold words all over the land.
I Plans for the campaign are un
derway in this city and vicinity, as
jwell as in every parish and mission
station of the Church. Daring the
first two months of 1927 simul
taneously, from the Atlantic to
the Pacific, and from the lakes
to the Mexican border, day and
night, these representatives will
be engaged in a wide spreading ef
fort which, initiated by the House
of Bishops of the Episcopal Church,
and backed by the National Council
of the communion, has been given
jthe name of "The Bishops' Crusade.
; Its promoters announce that it is
not a campaign to raise money, to
S roselytize among members of other
ommunions, nor even primarily a
jmovement to gain new members for
Ithe Episcopal Church. As defined
by its leaders it is a crusade to se
cure' a new allegiance to the whole
Christian program, particularly that
of the Episcopal Church, . on the
part of all communicants.

statement outlining the Crusade,

Shall We Move The Atlantic?
1—The Mid-Continent Is
Marooned
A transcontinental train was pull
ing out frbhi Omaha for thp Pacific
coast. In the diner sat two mën en
gaged in conversation. One was a
manufacturer of electrical supplies,
located in Akron, Ohio. Said he, "We
do most of our shipping to the Pa
cific coast by way of Philadelphia or
Baltimore.
The other expressed
surprise. "It is this way," said the
manufacturer, "the cost of rail haul
to the coast, plus the cost of trans
shipment, plus the freight down the
Atlantic through the Panama and up
the Pacific amounts to less than
cost of the overland haul from Ak
ron to San Francisco or Portland."
Then the second man remembered
another incident that had been called
to his attention a short time before,
A manufacturer of refrigerators,
whose factory was located in western
Wisconsin, had made a car-lot ship-1
ment to Portland. The route one
would naturally expect the shipment
to take would be westward to the Pa
cific. The route it actually followed,
in order to secure the lowest trans
portation costs, was by way of Chi
cago, Baltimore and the Panama
canal!

occasion Episcopal Churches here
and elsewhere throughout the coun
try, will be open throughout the day
for ccntinnous prayer for the suc
cess of the Crusade. On January 6,
1927, the Crusade will be formally
launched. For the purpose one hun
dred of the most prominent bishops,
priests and laymen are being im
pressed into service. This crusading
force -will be divided into teams of
two and three each, and on a fixed
day will go forth to the strategic
points selected covering the broad
expanse of the nation. Day and
night through the period of Epi
pheny season they will address mass
meetings, hold conferences, conduct
services. At one and the same time
the Crusaders will be at work in
Maine and California, Oregon and
Florida. Special hymns will be sung,
and special prayers said. Stress
will be laid upon the part which re
ligion can be made to play with re
suiting benefits, in the fields of
capital and labor, international
peace, better civic government,
that are prevalent throughout the '
entire interior of the United States.
The grain farmer is complaining of
his high transportation costs. The
rancher and the sheepman of the west |
are equally concerned about the costs \
of moving their stock and their wool j
to market. The manufacturer spends j
much of his time figuring over rate j
sheets. The merchant is vitally con
cerned and . the banker * no le3s in

away from hia markets than he was
before the war. They will show why
the manufacturer of the middle-west
is being forced, against his will, eith
to set up a branch near the sea
coast, remove to the seacoast, or else
to abandon foreign markets to his
competitors so situated. They will
show that every other large produc
ing area in the world has ocean
transportation at its doors, and that
only by bringing the ocean to our
doors can our position in world trade
I be restored—that only by moving the
Atlantic into the heart of the North
American continent can the handicap
of the farmer b? removed and his
dollar restored to its pre-war buying
power—that only by making the
Great Lakes ports ocean ports di
rectly connected by large and eco
nomical ocean freighters with our
great terminal markets in Europe
and other lands can the industrial
life of the West be developed to its
natural and full extent.
And it is further the purpose of
this series of stories to show how the
Atlantic can be brought inland. At
the present time all our roads, wheth
er by nail or water, lead down to the
sea. It is 10 times as expensive, ton
for ton and mile for mile, to move
goods to market over the land as it
is to move them over the ocean. It
follows that in order to carry our
goods to the markets of the world
at the lowest possible cost we must
bring the ocean to us, rather than for
us to go to the ocean. This series
will tell how this can be done—by
opening the St. Lawrence to the
world's cargo-carrying fleets.
