HANKSGIVING day is more in terwoven with the nation's his; tory than any other American holiday and has had the most checkered career of them all, a historical review of the long chain of circumstances Surrounding this most pleasant harvest Testival reveals. While Thanksgiving, as an annual event under the auspices of the state, is a legacy from the early New England colonists, it nevertheless was first proclaimed as a national day for giving thanks by the first President, George Washington, who was requested to do so by joint resolution of congress in 1789, writes Gifford Ernest in the Chicago Daily News. . . • At intervals from then OIK to the present it has been observed nationally by proclamation of the President The longest interval during which no proclamation was issued and the day was Only observed by some and that section- ;ally, was about 50 years ago. This hiatus in official national gratllude occured between the presidencies James Madison and Abraham Lincoln. During this lapse the southern states Objected to its observance by presidential proclamation on the ground that it was a relic of Puritan bigotry. , During this long period of supremacy -Of the South and West in national afalrs the festival was confined chiefly to the northeastern states. Thursday bas been most generally selected as the day of the week for observing the holiday. However, Wednesday has been occasionally used.

I ."fcr.:. as the month for expressing publicly the national gratitude, February, April, May, August and December have been designated at times. Wednesdays and Thursdays were selected b.v the Puritans of New England for their festive occasions In connection with giving thanks for abundant harvests because they desired to have them as far as possible from the Christian Sabbath, which they observed with strict simplicity.. The turkey typifies Thanksgiving vlands because Governor Bradford of Plymouth sent out four hunters to procure a supply of game for the feast after the first harvest In the fall or 1621. Conspicuous among the game birds and animals baggedvhy the hunters were numerous wild turkeys, which were common in the woods of Massachusetts. From this circumstance arose the popular association of these handsome and tasty birds with Thanks g i v i n g . . . . " ' , In time the day was observed In Connecticut; later the Dutch of New N'etherland proclaimed a public day for giving thanks. During the Revolutionary war congress recommended days for Thanksgiving. Thursday, November 26, 1789, was proclaimed by President George Washington the first national Thanksgiving day after the Setting up of the republic. After President Adams' proclamatioa for the observance of April 25,1799, another one wasn't Issued for 13 years, when President Madison revived the day and designated a Thursday in August, 1812, as the day for Thanksgiving. Two other feuch days were appointed and then the lapse until President Lincoln set aside Thursday, August 6,1863, as a day of Thanksgiving, and then later In the same year designated the "last Thursday of November next" for the'same purpose. President Lincoln's proclamation was follows: HERE probably has been no subject since man's beginning • more discussed than prayer. Religionists have claimed it belonged to the spiritual world as a form of worship. Scientists not being able to classify it into formula or fact have dismissed the subject as not belonging to the sci-, entitle world. What Is prayer, and where does it belong, and to whom? According to. the present status of the human race there are three kinds of prayer. The first type of prayer is petition. Begging for something which one has not, whether it be for something to have or to be, it is asking God to give. This type of request is pseudo-prayer, and should bea#\ the name of petition. The second type of prayer is the kind that brings our nation, at the President's proclamation, to its knees on Thanksgiving day in gratitude, for Thanksgiving means gratitude. It is an attribute of the heart. Even though gratefbl, one can also be selfish. Gratitude is sometimes lacking in human beings and found in dogs. Today, we the American people are not as grateful for our splendid country, with its privileges of free education, its noble liberty of religious thinking, its art, fine musk and literature, as were those first Pilgrim fathers who dared the bleak barren .coast of early New England. "Give us this day our'daily Bread," is more often "said" than prayed, and in how many American homes today do little children never hear a word of grace or gratitude at the beginning of a meal. This is short measure of his rightful heritage. Gratitude Is one of the courtesies of character, an amenity of the heart. It can be cultivated by always comparing your lot in life with that of someone who has less rather than more than you have. This always brines gratitude plus £pntentraeniLJ.. However, this second type of prayer goes only half way to the heart of God, and should only bear the name of gratitude, not prayer. The third kind of prayer must include others If we wish If to ascend higtier than our heads. A great and fine woman, internationally known, said to me once, that she prays God to help her answer prayers of. others. "You would be surprised," she said to me. "how many opportunities daily come to me to answer the prayers of other folks. Somehow, when I am thinking in terms of the needs of others I lose track of my own, and I grow strong when others need me to be stcoag." Can we really pray? / © Western Newspaper tTntO^. •onree from which they cone, oth-. era have been added, which are ot •o extraordinary a nature that they 'cannot fall to penetrate and soften 'the heart which Is habitually In- ..sensible to tkr rvcr-watchfnl prortdence of almighty God.
