apotheosis of hyj)ocricy.

HISTORY 0F.T11E DAY. .
Thanksgiving Is a Holldao Dear to ths
Heart of Evern American.
avHgtE
Sbbsbbbbh aaa
Set fTHBSB
THAlf KSOIVINQ Day Is a peenltarlj
American institution. History, it is
true, informs us that the pious peo
ple of Leyden, Holland, observed a day of
thanksgiving as early as 1575, to commemo
rate the first snniversary of the raising of
th siege of thst city. In 1623 a day of fatt
ing and prayer was appointed on account
of the drought. Rain came abundantly while
the people were praying, and the governor
appointed a day of thanksgiving which was
observed with religious exercises.
Th. first recorded Thanksgiving, ap
pointed by authority in America, was pro
claimed in Msssa
chusetta bay in 1631.
Owing to ths great
scarcity of provi
sions and consequent
menace of starva
tion, the 22d of
February was desig
nated to be observed
as a fast day. Before
that dais a long-expected
vessel arrived
from Ireland, loaded
with provisions, and
A. D. WJL tne lit day was
changed into one of thanksgiving.
Benjamin Franklin relates that in a time
of great despondency among th first set
tlers of New England it was proposed in one
of their public meetings to proclaim a fast.
An aged farmer rose and spoke of provok
ing Hesven with their complsints snd of the
many mercies they hsd received snd of the
causes they had for giving thanks. He then
made a motion that, instead of appointing
a day of fasting, they should sppoint a day
of thanksgiving. To this tbe assembly read
ily agreed.
Massachusetts was ths first of the colo
nies to sppoint an annual thanksgiving by
the proclamation of
theEngiish governor..
During the revolution
Thanksgiving day
was a national insti
tution, being annual
ly recommended' by
congress; but after a
general thanksgiving
for peace in 1784
there was no nation
al appointment until
1789, when Waah
ineton. bv rerrueat of
congress, r e c o m- A. D. UTL
mended a day of thanksgiving far ths adop
tion of ths constitution. Washington issued
a second proclamation of thanksgiving in
1TM ea account of ths suppression of in
surrection. President Madison, by rt quest
sf rnngreee, recommended a Thanksgiving
tat peace in ISIS, bat osMal rseonuasnda-
when requested to do so, publicly declined",
on the ground that he was not authorwed to
interefere in religious matters. During the
war between the states in 1883 and 1804, i
President Lincoln issued proclamations rec
ommending national thanksgiving. Since
then a proclamation has been issued annu
ally by the president, ss well as by the gov
ernors of ths various states and the mayor.
of the principal cities, and custom has fixed
the time as the last Thursday in November.
In the early dsys Thanksgiving was a
purely religious holiday. Later on it became
the occasion for an
nual family reunions
and feasts, preceded
by church services.
Latterly it seems to
have been given over
to the football play
ers, just as Decora
tion day has been ap
propriated by tbe bi
cyclists. Whether
attending a football
game is calculated to
millA mn think an
U0, berly and seriously
of the blessings which have crowned the
year is a question which, ws are told, re
quires individual answer. Advocates of the
great college game claim that the innovation
is harmless, yet not even th most enthu
siastic among them venture the assertion
that it has a tendency to make anyone feel
grateful for the bounties Providence has
bestowed upon him. There are many ways
of showing gratitude, but the old-fashioned
way of thanking the Lord in His house
seems, after all, to be the best and most
sUvsting.
