TS, Meteorologist. LET US GIVE THANKS! We in the United States have much to be thankful for this Thanksgiving Day; but perhaps it has not occurred | to many of us what really is our greatest blessing. . America is developing, has almost developed, a national conscience so different from’ the national conscienc- es that hitherto have wagged the world, that its influence must ‘be felt by all humanity and by all posterity. There are material things for which we may and do give thanks; but those we have had always in greater) or less extent. Our greater blessing | is not of the forum or the market- place; not of the factory or of the mint. Peace is a blessing; but a greater blessing lies in the fact that we, the people of the United States, have de- manded peace, when other people went to war for lesser causes than we have had; in the fact that Amer ica, conscious of her might, has re- fused to accept the aggressions and’ insults of temporary madmen as suf ficlent excuse to bathe another hemi- sphere in blood. Prosperity is-a blessing; . but a. greater blessing fies in the fact that’ we, the people of the United States, are demanding prosperity for all, when the precedent. has bgen: to: re: |” gard hoards of gold in banks, increas- ing shekels in the coffers of the over- rich, as sufficient reason for nation wide thanksgiving. ‘The war has taught us to do for ourselves, and this, too, is a blessing; but a eteater blessing lies in the. fact that in our! new independence we have developed not only in material things, but in matters of the niind and spirit, as well. ‘Not for the things we have in abun- dance should we be most thankful; but for the fact that at last we are ‘beginning to use our abundance for the benefit of all humanity. For this, then, let us thank the Lord Our God: America is thinking, and thinking r right! FIRST THANKSGIVING DAY. . Many of us have probably forgot- ten how the ‘turkey came to play the star part in the Thanksgiving dinner. For that matter, how many ever knew the true significance of this delight: ful custom? The father of the day, pious ‘old Gov. Bradford, thought it would be a @reat thing if the folk of Plymouth should eat together when the frost was on the pumpkin and the fodder was in the shock. Not being a vegetarian, and Chica- 80 dressed beef not yet having come into vogue, he commanded the col- ony’s valiant sons to go into the for ests and shoot a sufficient mess of Venison and wild turkey. Next arose the problem of a com- mon eating place. But that solved it- self, for colonial Massachusetts had ‘but one common place of adequate community assembly, the outdoors, So the wild turkeys, duly ‘stuffed and baked, and the venison were tak- en, with fitting accompaniments, un- der the trees and joyously despatched at a feast for all, including King Mas- sasoit and 90 friendly indians. So ‘well did they enjoy the common feast that they kept it up for three days, consuming also, we fear, quite a quan tity of strong waters. It was not, therefore, as with us, primarily a family, but a community, function; the nearest that the pious Pilgrims could come to a democratic festival. When we modify it to a ser- vice in a sévtarian church and a spread around a family board, we re- duce the fine old function to less than its original intent. The family dinner and the church service have grown into traditions too well rooted to be upset, even if there were any anxious to upset them. They give a useful and intimate spir- itual touch, But lately, in a few places, there has come into usage’ an added cele- \ bration more in keeping with the founder's intent. Some folk are opening our com- _|mon meeting place, the public school house, symbol of this age's all-inclu- sive fellowship, ,for social center ‘spreads, to which everybody in the neighborhood may come by simply giving notice and contributing equal- ly to meet the modest cost. racy restore to our time much of the significance which the first Thanks- giving day had for the hardy colo- nists of Plymouth Rock. For the ‘battle of our period, in for- tunate America, is not with painted 5 | savages, armed with scalping knives, nor with the rigors of the wilderness. Much less is it Europe’s battle with high-powered tools of slaughter by wholesale. Our battle is with preju- dices, misunderstandings, the evil spirits which spring up among folk who are artificially kept apart. They who eat together in equality discover in one another too many fine interests and traits in common to ; Want to spoil the fellowship by hate | and murder. JAPS IN MEXICO, The Japanese legation in Mexico| gives out some figures which should do much to allay the alarm some nervous folks in the United States feel over the repeated rumors of a Jap army of 200,000 trained soldiers peing assembled in Mexico to join Carranza’s army, in case of war. be- tween the two republics. The Japanese minister says there are 2,000 Japanese in Mexico, all told. Three hundred of these are women and children. Eight hundred of the adults are mine employes, four hun- dred are farmers and the remaining hundred scattered about in miscella- neous occupations. By CHARLES B. DRISCOLL. The bountiful harvest is gathered, And today, with a common accord, All the people have ceased from their labors To give thanks to ‘Lord. Jehovah, the For Thee, Everlasting, All-seeing, What can our narrow universe hol For our lives are a watch in the nigl - time, And our years as a tale that is told! Yet, today; as a nation, all-grateful, | We approach to Thy- presence divine To acknowledge Thy infinite bless- ings, For, fe Barth and ats fullness ‘are For another year Thou hast pre- served us From the war which is wrecking the world; »* Over us, through Thy infinite mercy, The great banner of Peace is un- furled. Preserve us, protect us, defend.us, For our guard without Thee would be vain! May BY, Spirit enlighten our coun- cils, And Thy Peace evermore with us reign! A PRAYER. , Though we be Blinded, still may we see Thy Handiwork and know Its Worth; Though we be Dumb, still may we speak \Thy Word in Thought and Deed; ‘hough we be Deaf, still may we hear Thy Voice and do Thy Bid- ding; Though we de Halt, still may we walk Thy: Way, nor go astray; And though we see and hear. and speak and walk as men, ‘Still may we khow’ these things as but of earth; of only passing need; ‘And if these gifts be ours through Thee, It.needs must be that we can wrong * no’ man. Almighty God, grant this be Thanksgiving. —GEORGE MARTIN.
