The favorite way of celebrating Thanksgiving in New England was, of course, first with prayer and a sermon, in which the minister told his congre- gation the many fhings they had to be thankful for. The church was generally decorated with fruits and grains, and when the custom became national this was continued. The idea of the Thanks- giving dinner in New England was to | have all of the fruits of the harvest, and turkey became the principal meat course because this bird was so plenti- ful and was caught in the wild state and prepared most appetizingly by the housewives. g Then there was pumpkin pie, and as cranberries grew in great quantities in New England states. the sauce of that berry was a fitting addition to the tw key course. Plum cake, or, as it has come to be known, fruit cdke, was a favorite for the Christmas holjdays In England and was brought over with other dainties by the first of the set- tlers, and the recipes for making treas- ured by the housewives. Meat ples, or, as we ca]l them, mlnce ples, came_later In’ the list of good things for Thanksgiving. With the very earliest settlers the day was, indeed, a day of prayer, and little else besides, but later it bectme a feast day, as well, and it was a poor family, indeed, in New England that could not afford a turkey for Thanks- giving dinner. Many Causes ue Orqm We have reason to be grateful for our abundant harvests, which suffica to feed us at home and empower us to give subetantial aid to the starving war-wasted peoples abroad ; to be hum- bly thankful for the wealth that en- ables us to succor those who have lost all that is ~0 precious in our own eyes. In gratitude for our manifold national and personal blessings we all have oc- casion to “bless the Lord, and forget (oot all His benefits.” i —— D 1 A D T fThe breaking waves dashed-high . ©-On a stern and rock-bound coast, And the woods against g stormy sky Their giant branches tossed. HIS famous poem comes to mind with each recurring Thanksgiving day, #nd carries us back to 1621 when the land was young and our pilgrim forbears were laying the first foundution ‘stones of our great”Americin’{¥publi¢: To -| ‘them belongs the credit of‘having céle- brated the first Thanksgiving day in New England, but not the first in North America. Historians remind us of ‘the fact that in the yéar 1578 an English minister named Wolfall con- ducted a Thanksgiving service on the shores of Newfoundland. ' The min- ister was with an expedition under Frobisher which brought the first Eng- lish colony to settle on those shores. It was in this pious spirit or grati- tude that the Pligrims on the “stern and rack-bound coast” of Plymouth “praysed God” in sincere grsmude for the way in which he "had~'délivered them from all the dangers of the deep that the Mayflower had gone through. We of the luxurious plenty of our day which to be g.ateful if ‘we had no mere than the Pilgrims had on their first Thanksgiving day. Dangers known and unknown encompassed them round about, and their days were filled with hard labor, while their fare was of the plainest and the future was uncertain. But they had stout hearts in which hope ran high, Of the American Thanksgiving one historian says: “The annual celebration, as we have it'in its present form, is essentlally of Ameriean conception. The settlers of Jamestown, the Dutch of New York, the Pllgrims of ‘Plymouth, and the Pu- ritans of Boston were in every .respect devoutly rellgloug people. républican government on this side of the Atlantic. The first written consti- tution in all history was an American document, In that it was written in the cabin of the Mayflower on Saturday, -Nov. 11, 1620, as that unique craft swung at her anchor ‘in Proviacetown harbor, the first six words being ‘In the name of God, Amen.’ This phrase lald the foundation stones of ‘eur western - clvilization. - These men brought but little with them, but left much to posterity. If this were the only thing: they left us, the American Thanksgiving day, their names would be immortalized. It gives joy to the humblest of peoples. On the: follow- ing autumn there was held a .‘grande thanksgiving.’ The most condensed ac- count of this ‘grande thanksgiving’ can be found In a letter Written by Ed- ward Winsdlow, sent to a friend in England, as follows: ‘Our. harvest be- ing gotten in, our governor sent out four men on fowling, so that we might after a special manner rejoice togeth- er, after we had gathered the fruits of our-labors. They killed as much fow! as with a little help beside served the company about one week. At which times among other recreations we ex- ercised our army, many of the Indians coming amongst us, and amdng the rest of their greatest king, Massasoit, with some 90 men, whom for three days we entertained and feasted, and they went out and killed fivé deer, which they brought and bestowed on our governor and upon the captain and others.’” would feel that we had little for | They were |. cornerstones iu ‘the great temple of- Chicago, Nov. 25.—Potata receipts today, 85 cars.

(Copyright, 1419, Western Nowspaper Unlon) Not Essentially American. Our American Thanksflvln‘ 1s. usual- 1y considered our one native contribu- tion to the holidays of nations, as its observance originated with the New England fathers. Perhaps the fathers themselves liked to think of it in this originative way and so wished it pes petuated—as. something that had flow-' ered on the bleak rock of their pu# sonal struggle. It was to be peculiatly their day, peculiarly a heroic New Eng- land day, an American day. So in a sense it is; so in a sense it is not. Many other nations have had such days of thankfulness. We have some very good new ones that you will like to hear. Come in and hear them and pick out what you want. We carry the largest line of recemilsin the state north of the Twin Cities. . Geo. T.
