But the first specification of a whole day of thanksgiving was that proclaimed by William Bradfordr first governor of Massachusetts colony of Pilgrims, "in gratitude for the plenteous harvest” of 1621. The date Xas December 13th. The festival byame an annual and regular one fn Massachusetts in 1684, and the exaJffipTe" sb 0‘slablished ^8*8 followed by all the other'New Eng land cokuwes, U/was the most impor tant feast of the yekr. The turkey typifies Thanksgiving because Croverner- Br^ford ef-Ply mouth sent out for hunters to procure rof game for the ieastr;«ft«r the first harvest in the fall of 1621. Conspicuous ..among thC' game birds and animals bagged by the hunters were numerous""wild turkeys, which were common in the woods of Massa chusetts. From this circumstance trbse the popular association of thes^ handsome and tasty birds with Thanksgiving. ~ It was the Father of His Country who first conceived the idea of a national Thanksgiving day for the newly liberated colonies sc'ech him to pardon our national and other transgressions to enable us all, whether in’ public or private stations, to perform our several and relative duties properly and punctually; to render our National Government a blessing to all the people, by con stantly being a government of wise, just, and constitutional laws, diseceet- ly and faithfully executed and obey ed; to protect and guide all sover- ,^igns a^nd nations (especially such as i nave shown kindness to us), and to bless them with good governments, peace and concord; to promote the knowledge and practice of true rer ligion and virtue, and the increase of sciattO^, omong^-them utt; Aad,^ generally, to grant unto^ll mankind sueh a drifre« bf l«npbiil as he alone knows best.” In 1864, President Lincoln issued a proclamation appointing the fourth Thursday in November with a view of having the day kept, thereafter, annually without interruption. Since that time each President, with the ex ception of, Garfield, whose assassina tion prevented it; has issued an an nual proclamation and Thanksgiving Day has become a national holiday. During his j It is also, the only religious festival first year.as4he first president of the;celebrated in the United States .by United, States of America, George Washington himself made Thanksgiv ing day a national feast by proclaim ing Thursday, November 26, 1789, as the day for its celebration. There has never been a year since, in spite of wars, internal stress and calamity in which we, the people of 'the United Btates of America, have not had gehpine • occasion to give thanks, for ^Imuntiful blessings re ceived. i The priginal document from Con gress which brought about the first official Thanksgiving Day celebra tion is still in the files of Congresa and reads thus: **Ccmgreu of the Gnit^ States^ In The 25tk virtue of the authority oLthe civil government. ™ SCRIPTO Automatic Pencil ia the beet 19c value in the wmrld.
