Historians say that It has not always been the universally popular occasion which It now is considered to be. • -- The first Thanksgiving ceremoniously observed In North America was that conducted by Rev. Mr. Wolfall, chaplain of the Frobishet; ex? pedition to Newfoundland,, May 27, 1578, and the earliest Thanksgiving observance reported within the present boundaries of the United States was that held by the Popharo colonists at Sagadahoc, Maine, In August, 1607. • But the first specification of a whole day of thanksgiving was that proclaimed by William Bradford, first governor of Massachusetts Colony,of Pilgrims, "in gratitude for tiie plenteous harvest" of 1621. The date was December 13, old style. . 1 The festival becftln^ an annual and regular one In Massachusetts In 1684, and the example so established was followed by all the other New England colonies. It was the most Itafrortant feast of the year, taking rank above Christmas, of whicb the Puritans disapproved. . During the Revolutionary war there were at least eight separate days of general thanksgiving. George Waslrington ordered days for prayer and thanks on December 18, 1777, and May 7, 1778.

"Downtown it does," he said terse*] ly and walked out to the library. 5 "Keep your seat, Mr. Luke." I The man sat meekly as Buck took his chair behind th« desk.

Luke got up and! walked out of the room. j TO BE CONTINUED of a national Thanksgiving day for thd newly liberated colonies. Contrary to common belief, It was congress rather than the first President that was responsible. The credit In the circumstances is due particularly to Elias iBoudinot, a member of the bouse of representatives from New Jersey, who on September 25, 1789, Introduced a resolution calling upon "all the cltK tens of the United States" to join "with : one voice in returning to Almighty God their sincere thanks for the many' blessings he had poured upon them." The original document is still In the flies of the congress, where it recently -was discovered. The record shows that the motion prompted strenuous debate. Opposition to the proposal was passionately Intense. Aedanus Burke of South CafO-^ llna attacked "this mimicking of European customs." Thomas T. Tucker of^| Virginia - sardonically submitted that "It might be well to wait for some experience of the efficiency of the Constitution before returning thanks for it." Thomas Jefferson opposed the plan for fear it might imply a connection between state and church. The fact was that Thanksgiving day never had bee*, accepted In the South. It had been considered an exclusively evangelical ton, on the other hand, determined to make a really memorable event of the festival. With the Imaginative flair which distinguished him, he visioned a "monster celebration," with Washington .as its presiding genius. There should be a great parade, a colorful and dramatic pageant, an American equivalent, more or less, of a Roman triumph. Troops were to march, bands to play, flags to fly, and the Multitude could be counted upon to cheer. The whole affair, Hamilton decided, should culminate in a banquet at Fraunees tavern. To the festal board he invited his chosen friends and preparations for their entertainment in the grand manner proceeded. * ; But Mrs. Washington had plans of her own. She desired a formal levee at the Executive Mansion In Franklin square, and invitations were dispatched to "everybody Who was anybody." Hamilton, naturally, was one of those whose presence was requested. The great day dawned. The parade was held. The reception followed. Hamilton was late in arriving at the tavern, a tardy host at his own dinner. To his amazement, the giver of the feast found[ his guests had not waited for him to appear. They.had been eating "und drinking for all they were worth In his absence. From the doorway Hamilton surveyed the scene, his face scarlet with rage. Nevertheless, he held his tongue for fear of the "public scandal" of an outburst. Silence fell as he moved across the room to a place at the table. But the inevitable outburst followed.* The next, morning Washington sent for Hamilton and d^man^ed an explanation. The younger.jjtan apologized as best ias he could, but\^e older "called the whole proceedings a disgrace." ^ \ For five long years there ' were no Thanksgiving day proclamations, no Thanksgiving day celebrations. In a later period Andrew Jackson and Zachary Taylor refused to order observance of the festival. Abraham Lincoln was responsible for the present custom of keeping the fourth or last Thursday In November as a national day of thanks to God. But it was not until comparatively recent years that the people of the entire country-began Jo celebrate the annual occasion with, enthusiasm.
