THANKSGIVING DAY

‘Today. throughout Canada, will be observed seat. public holiday. in name at least, _a of Dnbllc thanksgiving to Ainiigiit God for the bountiful harvest just gather- ed in. The custom originated iii the Harvest. Home festivals of thi- the last sheaf of the harvest was ceremon-

aeml-pagan age when iously accompanied home by a gar boring of neighbors when a festi- val was held and the afternoon or evening was spent in general mer- rymaklng and feasting. With the advent of Christianity the Harvest Home became a real thanksgiving service. Harvest over, each com- munity or parish held its own thanksgiving service and the goo-l old custom is still continued in the Old Land. each parish appointing its own day for the service.

We do not propose to attempt to solve the problem. but the ‘hablit of thankfulness is with- in reach of even these and in the darkest life there is more of right than of darkness. Gratitude may be cultivated into a habit and the habit once formed will lead to con teirtment and thankfulness.

A fair indication of the wealth oi‘ this little province of ours is the fact that we contributed about nine million dollars to t-he three Canadian loans, a little ovcr $100 for every man woman and child iii the province. No other province in Canada did anything compar- ‘time to this. '

We may then. with this evid- t-‘ncc in our possession, assume
