Battle Geek, Mich. 4 HANKSGIVING day as It ous celebration of the gathering of the year's harvest, a day or week of feast ing, song, dance and revel, is found in all ages and among all peoples. Thanksgiving days are also common to all regions, past aud present, but they were not regular or periodical events?occurring generally after some victory of war. "The Puritans and the Pilgrims brought with them from England both the Harvest festi val and the Thanksgiving days, the is now celebrated is a composite of the ancient Harvest festival, whose origins go back to the dim pre-historic begin nings of civilization, and of the solemn Puritan religious ceremony of thanksgiving. The Joy latter being observed whenever the deeply religious mind of the Puritan saw In their prosperity or good for tune the direct Intervention of Provi dence. The Puritan also Btrlpped the ancient Harvest festival of much of Its rude license that had grown up around the celebration in England, and grad ually through the two centuries fol lowing the setlement of New England, there grew up the practice of combin ing the two events and making the Thankgiving annual. The religious element has been greatly subordinated as the years passed until at the pres ent time it is to a majority of Ameri cans only an incident that by many is observed only in the breach. To the stern old Puritan of almost three centuries ago, the Thanksgiving day of 1912 would seem little less than sacrilege so far as the thinksgiving feature of It Is concerned. But he would understand and appreciate the day's feasting and revel as a part of the celebration of the Harvest festi val. The difference is apparent In the records of the early settlement of America. The first thanksgiving serv ice held In North America was ob served with religious ceremonies con ducted by an English minister in the year 1578 on the shores of Newfound land. This clergyman, accompanied the expedition under Frobisher, who eettled the first English colony in America. The records of this signifi cant day have been preserved in the quaint rules and regulations of the ex pedition as follows: "In primus: To banish swearing, dice and card playing, and filthy com munication, and to serve God twice a day with the ordinary service of the Church of England. On Monday morn ing, May 27, 1578, aboard the Ayde, we received all, the communication by the minister of Gravesend, prepared as good Christians toward God, and resolute men for all fortunes; . . . and Maister Wolfall made unto us a goodlye sermon, exhorting all espe cially to be thankful to God for His strange and marvelous deliverance In those dangerous places."

It consisted of prayer and sermon as In the first Instance. These were thanks giving days pure and simple, and after the settlement of Plymouth many oth ers of a similarly solemn religious na ture occurred. The first Harvest festival held In America was upon December 13, 1621. It has been called, wrongly, the first autumnal thanksgiving held in Amer ica, but it was in reality the observ ance of the Harvest festival, with which the settlers had been acquaint ed in England. It was not a day Bet apart for religious worship and it is not likely that any religious service was held; on the contrary, it was the beginning of a whole week of festiv ity in celebration of the successful garnering of their first harvest In SURELY EASY TO UNDERSTAND Remarkably Lucid Explanation of Murder Which Judge Is Said to Have Mad? to Jury. The average juryman is not very well versed in the fine distinctions of tho law. On those he needs instruc tion from the judge. It must have been a very obtuse Juryman, how ever, to whom the case was not per fectly clear after listening to the fol lowing explanation by a Judge: their new home. Qaintly does "Mourt's Relation" chronicle the event: . "Our harvest being gotten in, our Governour sent foure men on fowling, that so we might after a more speciall manner rejoyce together, after we had fgathered the fruit of our labours; they foure In one day killed as much fowle, as with a little helpe beside, served the Company almost a weeke, at which time amongst other Recrea tions, we exercised our Armes, many of the Indians coming amongst us, and amongst the rest their greatest King MasBasoyt, with some ninetie men, whom for three dayes we enter tained and feasted, and they went out and killed Deere, which they brought to the plantation and bestowed upon the Captaine, and others. And al though it be not alwayes so plentiful, as it was at this time with us, yet by the goodnesse of God, we are so farre from want, that we often wish you partakers of our plentie." While the bill of fare of this first Amerioan celebration of the Harvest festival has not been preserved the feast waB no doubt a royal one even if some of the food and the methods of preparation would seem strange and outlandish to present day Amer icans. The provisions must have been bountiful for there were about 140 persons including the 90 of Mas 6asoit's company who were enter tained for three dayB, and all had their share of supplies.

Besides these they had the indigeous squash and pumpkin, and it may be takep for granted that a care ful Pilgrim housewife had preserved during the summer by drying a quan tity of strawberries, gooseberries and "raspls." Take it altogether, the food basis of the first Harvest Thanksgiv ing day celebration in America was much the same as today. But if the good hour ewife of today was obliged to prepare the thanksgiv ing feast with the uter.sils and incon veniences of the kitchen of three cen tures ago she probably would throw up her hands In hopeless despair. The kitchen with its great glowing fire- i place was the housewife's domain and the general living room of the entire family.

There were no tin utensils in tnose old days and brass kettles were wortfci $15 a piece. The utensils were mostly of Iron, wood, pewter or lat tern ware. Glassware was practically unknown and bottles were made of leather. Wood played a great part In kitchen and tableware. Wooden trenchers from which two ate were used on the table for a century after the settlement at Plymouth. Wood was also used for pans and bread troughs and a host of other things displaced by tin in the modern kitch en. Of wood were made butter pad dles, salt cellars, noggins, keelers, rundlets. and many kinds of drinking bowls which were known under the names, of mazers, whiskins, plggins, tankards and kannes, words many of which have disappeared from use. The dining table of these pld days was the old Anglo-Saxon board p?aced A- ? ? ? -3 *1%** 4 a K1 Vt Tiro a on treButb, a Liu luc lauiccium n?o known as the "board cloth." Thus we have the origin of the time-worn phrase: "Gather around the festive board." And the furnishings of the "board" were simple, inventories of Hint nerlnd mentioning: only cups, chafing dishes, chargers, threnchers, salt cellars, knives and spoons. The table fork was an Innovation not yet In general use; the fingers of the eater were used to thrust the food into the mouth. The spoons were of wood and pewter mostly. Silver spoons were rare. There was no chlnaware on the tablev of the early thanksgiving feasts; for no china ware came over on the Mayflower. That and the lack of glassware and silver would make a thanksgiving table of the seventeenth century look Impossible to a housewife of today. Complete the picture by imagining large trenchers, square blocks of wood hollowed out by hand, placed around the "board" from each of which two people dig their food out with their fingers, and you have an Idea of the manner in which our ancestors cele brated Thanksgiving three centuries ago. But If the kitchen and table furni ture would appear strange to a house wife of today some of the dishes served would appear even stranger. How many housekeepers of today can cook "suppawn" and "samp" from corn meal? Or bake manchet, sim mels, cracknels, jannacks, cocket bread, cheat loaves, or "wasel" bread? The colonists dlfl net take kindly at first to the pumpkin, which In the pie form has become a distinctive fea ture of the modern thanksgiving feast. They called them "pomlons" then, and this Is awe-inspiriag recipe from which the colonial housewife made "pomplon" pie: "Take a half pound of Pumplon and slice it, a handful of Tyme, a lit tle Rosemary, Parsley and sweet Mar joram slipped off the stalks, then the cinnamon, nutmeg and pepper, and six cloves, and beat them.

I ' mdmonal SlMMfSOiOOL Lesson {By E. O. SELLERS, Director ?f Eve ning Department The Moody Bible In stitute of Chicago.) LESSON FOR NOVEMBER 24 THE TRANSFIGURATION. LESSON TEXT-Mark 9:2-11 GOLDEN TEXT?"A voice ?ma out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son; hear ye Him."?Luke 9:35 R. V. 1. On the Mountain, vv. 2-6.?Peter's confession is connected closely with the lesson for today. There 1b no rec ord of the intervening "six da/s." We are left to surmise what of fear and perplexity filled the minds of the dis ciples after listening to the words of Jesus found in Mark 8:34 and 9:1. These words must certainly have filled them with doubt and dismay. As if to meet this condition of mind Jesus takes Peter, James aud John, those three partners in business, who were also present in the1 home of Jairus, and later went with him into the garden, and withdrew to a moun tain, probably Mt. Hermon. Here he was transformed, Le., metamorphosed, completely changed in appearance; read carefully the parallel accounts. Paul's Inspired Words. Joined with Jesus there stood Moses the law-giver and Elijah the great reiorm prophet What a com mentary as to the interest of heaven in a dying Messiah and in the glory of that death. We need to read Paul's inspired words (Phil. 2:6,7) in this connec tion. He who thought it not a prize to be grasped after to be equal with God, yet took upon himself the form of a slave and was made in the habit or fashion of a man., Upon the moun tain Jesus reversed the figure and the "servant"?uie aon Ol mail reveaaeu, e. g., showed forth, the glorious ap pearance of the Son of God. The dis ciples there,caught a faint glimpse of that glory which he had with the Father before the world was (John 17:5). But the work of redemption was not yet accomplished, and so once more he turns back upon that glory. Small wonder, though, that as they beheld these heavenly visitors Peter should exclaim: "Rabbi, it is good for us to be here; let us make three tabernacles (booths), one for thee, one for Moses and one for Eli jah." Notice, however, that Peter spake "for he wist not what to say" (v. 6). Mark alone records these words, and Mark largely received his gospel from Peter. Peter should have kept still. Some revelations are too naprAri fnr sneech. Paul had such a one. But while the mount of vision is glorious, Jesus knew the need of crys talizing that vision In the lives of those in the valley below. There was work yet to be done (vv. 14, 15). Luke tells us that the transfiguration came "as he was praying." So even yet there Is no greater transfiguring and transforming power than prayer. Moses ar.d Elijah appeared "in glory," whereas Matthew tells us that "his face did shine as the sun" (17:2). This was not a reflected glory, but the outshining from within. Three Heavenly Voices Heard, We have only to read 2 Peter, 1 .'IS IS to answer any question as to this being a vision in the modern accept ance of that term. We are also told that the word "vision" found in verse 9 of the lesson can be translated, "things seen." Indeed the disciples were "fully awake" (Luke 9:32 R. V.). The question as to bow the disciples could recognize Moses and Elijah, whom they had never seen, is not at all difficult for the believer. They ap peared "in glory" and when the glory was withdrawn they saw "no man save Jesus." This also serves to help answer the question, "Shall we recognize in glory those whom we have lost awhile?" Three heavenly voices were heard. Jesus' voice in prayer, his compan ions conversing of that great event jet to be accomplished (Luke 9:31) and the voice of God, "This is my be loved (only begotten) Son; hear him." What matters the opinions of earth's greatest lawyers and prophets, or the suggestions of our dearest friends, "Hear him." That is the crux of the heavenly message: "Hear him," as teacher, observe him as an example, accept him as Saviour and obey him as Lord and Master. Fear fell upon them and they fell upon their faces in humiliation, but with tender compassion Jesus said "arise and be not afraid." It almost seems like a rebuke to Peter, who had so freely protested against the sugges tion of the manner of his death. Jesus' transfiguration and the words of his companion, 'as well as the com 3 ?a A1 o win/H/>o.

It Is far better to "see him" than to see, hold converse with, or have communion with, the great est of earth, past or present. 2. The descent, v. 9:13.?As they descended from the mountain Jesus charged them to tell no man. Very different from our modern method. But the need is clearly shown as we read Peter's woPds (2 Peter, 1:15-21). Peter places great emphasis upon the importance of this experience, declar- | ing himself as an eyewitness of his "majesty" as well as the "honor and glory." Peter and the others could not talk intelligently of this experi- j cnce until after Christ's work was i "finished" upon Calvary, vindicated at j the tomb and glorified on the day of Pentecost. Hence they "kept that saying with themselves," obeying his injunction of silence, un tne return they caught some word about his ris ing from the dead, hence the ques tion about the return of Elijah. Jesus tells them that Elfjah had returned ;n the person of John the Baptist and hat he had been rejected (see Matt. 17:11-13).
