Idea cf Thanksgiving
Inherent in All Ages
This week brings the day we dedi
cate to turkey, cranberry sauce, foot
ball. and the giving of thanks. Per
haps the matter of giving thanks bag
been permitted to slip a little into tlte
background. It may be what liisto-
rlans would call a trend of the times.
Well, there Is sound precedent for
this mingling of football and prayer.
Tlie huntanlfies. If you can call them
that, have always intruded upon days
of devotion.
When I’ojte Gregory L a sensible
man, sent Augustine to convert the
Anglo-Saxons, he directed that some
Christian festival be substituted for
each heathen feast. But, he instructed
his missionaries, much in the pagan
manner of celebration must be allowed
to remain, “to the end that, whilst
some gratifications are outwardly per
niitted them, they may the more eag
lly consent to the inward consolations
of the Grace of God.’*
By such tolerances we have the
Yule log, various diverting Easter cus
toms, and other pleasant practices
that In the beginning were not Chris
tlan at all.
Thanksgiving, too, has a mixed
background. There is nothing dls
tinctively American in Its origin. Man
has always had the thanksgiving
habit.

“Nearly everything I ate caused a
sickening, lumpy feeling in my stom
ach and often brought on vomiting.
My neck glands were painful and
swollen, and rheumatism settled in .my
shoulders and limbs all the way down
to my ankles. My liver was sluggrish
and I was almost continually taking
laxatives. I commenced taking Sargron
and I could feel its strengthening ef
fects right from the start. I have fin
ished my second bottle, my digression
is perfect and ever ache and pain has
left my body! Sargon Pills toned my
liver, for the first time in years I am
free of constipation. I will praise this
wonderful treatment as long as I
live.”—Mrs. Elizabeth Gregg, 1401
