A Time To Give Thanks
The Importance (
We all know the story of Thanksgiving
and how the traditional holiday
had its beginning. Early settlers in
New England were happy to be in this
country ? even with all the hardships
of scarce food, crude shelter
against the cold, sickness and occasional
experiences with hostile Indians ? beu

of laws that suited them, the right to
worship as they pleased and the freedom
to become what they wanted to be.
All they had to do to have this kind
of a happy situation was to survive
and to apply their skills in their work.
They were so thankful that in November,
just as the worst of winter
was setting in with all its miseries,
they counted their blessings, gathered
some of their precious food stores for
the winter and invited their Indian
neighbors for a feast. They had so

Since President Abraham Lincoln
issued a formal proclamation in 1863
setting aside one day a year as a day
of thanksgiving and a national holiday,
we have looked forward to this day
but perhaps in a different perspective
than that of the earlv settlers.
Possibly many of us think of Thanksgiving
Day as just another holiday
which we may devote to the pleasures
we enjoy ? football games, hunting,
feasting, etc.? and brush aside the
real reason for the proclamation of
this day. We perhaps take too little
time to be thankful for the blessings
of the life we have in ths great land.
We too often let petty prejudices,
bigotry and discrimination take over
in our thoughts and actions and fail to
project the true Christian attitude of
expressing thanks for our many blessings
and respect for our fellow man.

History tells us Thanksgiving Day

occasion was first observed in 1623

by the early settlers of this country.

Dav has become a traditional day set
