THANKSGIVING—1945
If every there was a year when Thanksgiying day should
be observed with gratitude and reverence, it is this year of
3945. The war in Europe and Asia has come to an end
sooner than any of us dar^ hope just a short year ago.
In terms of sort’ow, suffering and death, the earlier
termination of hostilities is a tremendous boon to us. Thous
ands of young lives will remain whole and unshattered, which
otherwise would have paid the whole penalties of war. It
would be wholly fitting if every one affiliated in any way
with a church would go to his church and render sincere
thanks for our happy and early vi(;tory.
Thanksgiving day is the finest tradition of American life.
The custom of setting aside a day of special thanksgiving for
our blessings was started here. Only in the United States
and Canada is such a day regularly observed. It is a family
day which originally was celebrated by attendance of the
whole family at special services at church, followed by a
Thanksgiving feast at home.
That is the way the day is still observed by many millions
of us. Many of the ihappiest recollections of our childhood
arise from the family gatherings at Thanksgiving time.

The British are in bad repute in
Egypt and India, according to Eitz-
hugh Collins, RM3-c, on board of USS
G. O. Squier in the Mediterranean sea.
In a letter to bis mother, Mrs. Henry
Collins, wife of Rev. Henry Collins,
pastor of the Lyttleton Street Metho
dist church here, Fitzhugh Collins
says that you cannot imagine how
universally disliked the British are.
Both here and in India the people ut
terly despise them and with very good
reason. The same is also true In the
middle east, that everyone is liked
hy these people but they always make
an exception in the case of the Brit.
Ish.
The letter gives an interesting de.
scription of a visit to Cairo. "I am
so thrilled with the trip to Cairo that
I must write you about it at once,”
be states. *‘It was a conducted tour
from beginning to end, which is of
course the onl^ way to see anything
during such a short space of time,
though under any other circumstances
I would be very much averse to such
a formal way of seeing a city. The
tour waa arranged by the American
Red Cross In Cairo. We left
yesterday morning (Oct. 211 after
breakfast. In seven army trucks. Tne
three hour jrip across the desert was
hiiserable, the springs in the trucks
being nogood at all and the road
hardly any better. Most of us still
have difficulty in sitting down. The
desert Is, what would certainly be
come deadly monotonous after a time,
but for us it was a novelty and Very
fascinating. It isn’t at all flat as I
had expected but rather very hilly.
Nor is it white sand, but a dirty Idok.
Ing mixture of^clay, broken stone and
grey dirt. Only Just before we reach
ed Cairo did we see anything white.
There was a long row of bills east of
the city that was glistening white,
looking almost like marble. It was
quite chilly all the way In.“ When we
reached Camp Huckstep, Just outside
the city, we were Informed that Helio
polis and Cairo had been put out of
bounds. There Is a continual protest'
being waged to see who is going to
rule Egypt, the Egyptians or the
British, and every few weeks it flares
up into a riot. Some people are shot
and the city is placed out of bounds
for the Americans for a few days.
Then the ban is lifted again. After a
short delay we were allowed to pro
ceed Into the city.
“Entering Cairo was one of the
greatest surprises and thrills I have
ever seen. An American city beside
it appears like some out-dated medi-

eval city. It is the nwst modem,
beautiful thing I have ever seen.
There are large boulevards with lawns
and palm trees and for blocks and
blocks you see houses and buildings
that are without exception in the most
modern style of architecture. They
are the sort of houses that you see
in architectual magazines but never
dream of seeing except perhaps in
isolated instances, more as a novelty
and experiment. But here you see
them everywhere, one right after the
other I was simply gaping in wonder
the whole seven hours we were in
the city. I didn't know a city could
be so beautiful. ()f course this doesn’t
apply to the old section of Cairo
There is much poverty and squalor
and disease is rampant. There are
many beggers and many people are
seen with every manner of physical
deformity and defect. But after
Karachi it Vas nothing. Most of the
people look fairly healthy.
"After lunch we went to the Cita
del. It is up on a hill in the eastern
side of the city and commands a
gorgeous view of the entire city. It
is a fortified place with high stone
walls and it used to be that whoever
controlled it, ‘ controlled the city.
Within' Its walls are several mosques
and palaces. We went Into the Mo
hammed AH Mosque, the largest in
Egypt. It’s a beautiful place.
"After that we went out to the
pyramids of Gbiseh and the Sphinx.
We went all the way into the pyramid,
practically having to climb on our
hands and knees in the passage way
that leads into the Chamber where
the king' was burled, with no light,
except some little candles. It was an
impressive sensation to be standing
in a structure built over 4600 years
ago. It took 500 thousand people ten
years Just to bring the stones from
the quarry and then 20 years to build
the pyramids. Some of the stones
were of such a size that it seems im
possible that people without any sort
of machinery could have brought them
such a distance and across the Nile
also.”
