MONDAY, NOV. 6, 1922 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. in Canada the custom of early settlers the to hold the thanksgiving service in thelatter “'3 S . part of October. the Old Country custom being followed of each parish or congre- gation appointing its own day. Later a day was set apart by pro- clamation of the_ Governor Gene- ral and made a legal public holi- t0 have the holiday in the middle of the week. usually on Thursday. A-t the solicitation of the Cummcri-i-i Travellers Association, alt-in rive yea-rs ago, the legal ‘Thanksgiving ‘Dziy was changed to Monday to enable tlieiii .ii1tl others similarly situated to spend the day which incon- venient to do whcn the day was tht-ir families was l iobsorved in rlie initldlt- of the Ewcek.

I i Thus not only from tho earliest idays of the Christian Chitrch. but [even from ttlie twilight days of semi-civilized paganism, the spirit lot‘ gratitude and thanksgiving has been a characteristic of the human race. Recognition m some form. of our dependence upon a beni- ficeuce behind and beyond human ' control ls and always has been on instinctive obligation. To the pa- .” gan who "sees God in clouds or hears Him in the wind." ‘to the Christian who acknowledges God as the sourceand origin of all goodness the obligation of grati- tude and thankfulness is iutlnc-- tlve. ‘ - ' ln a world in which defeat and triumph, joy and sorrow, pain and pleasure are alternated with almost unbroken regularity. the ldeit of calling upon all to express their tthankfulncss by the calendar may seem incongruous. There are unre-lisved the hardship u nd to whom future is impere-trable thankful for? How can they be thankful? 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. The great majority of us have much to he thankful for and we can find more causes for thankful- nass if we look tor them. We can- not alwaye have our own way and for that also we should be thank- ful. To the humble dependent up- on the Giver ol’ all Good. pain, die- 'nm. nave with!

There are bigger things than these and if we strive after these we pball find them and in them we shall find causes for ceaseless» thanksgiving.
