This latter was the real forerunner of our national Thanksgiving day. Occasional and special times of thanksgiving had often been appointed by dltYercnt Presidents, but the year 18G3, famous for its decisive national victories, marked also the beginning of the annual series of Thanksgiving days. The great victories of Gettysburg and Vlcksburg were really the cause of Lincoln's proclamation, and his example has been followed by all his successors until the annual festival has become .one of our national Institutions. The proclamation of 1863 was remarkable as the first of a series, extending now over fifty years. It was also noticeable because It was the occasion of a thanksgiving hymn by the famous Reverend Doctor Muhlcnburg of St. Luke's hospital, New York city. He Is well known as the author of the familiar hymn, 'T Would Not Live Alway," and a poet of no small repute. Mr. Lincoln's glowing words met his eye and struck a responsive chord In his heart A noble Thanksgiving hymn was the result, a hymn which at the time was often sung, but is now comparatively forgotten. It was published wit* appropriate music, and even yet Is suitable for use on similar occasions. The hymn contains nine stanzas, with chorus, and takes up In order the various causes for thanksgiving mentioned In Mr. Lincoln's proclamation. The original title was "Give Thanks All Ye People," the first verse being as follows: Give thanks, all ye people, give thanks to the Lord, Alleluias of freedom with Joyful accord; Let the East and the West, North and South roll along, Sea, mountain and prairie, one tharksglvlng song. Chorus. Give thanks, all ye people, give thanks to the Lord, Alleluias of freedom, with Joyful accord.

Mint urn, a prominent member of Doctor Muhlenberg's congregation, was greatly pleased with the poem, and sent a copy to the President, with whom he was personally acquainted, asking permission to name the hymn as the author desired. Mr. Lincoln telegraphed hack: "So let it be." In July, 180.1, Dr. Horace Ruslinell published in "Hours at Ilotne" an nr tide attacking the well-known hymn, "America," as an unworthy and really humiliating effusion?as a political anthem. Doctor Bushnell thus refers to Doctor Muhlenburg's production: "The hymn and air that were given to tne public by Doctor Muhlenhurg a short time ago appear to have missed the accident of being fairly born, and for that reason have not succeeded. The want of good accident here Is fatal, but the hymn has real merit It was too long and Included three or ^PiugR <a Ifc<g?4*V \ four verses that could have been omitted with advantage. Otherwise It might have stuck and would have had a fair chance of success; for the music, which we know only by the eye, linn n*rvt-r uf.uu in u pumic perrorinnnoe, appeared to have a look of promise." The next known reference to this hymn occurs In connection with the observance of the fiftieth convocation of the University of Illinois, on November -JO. 19K1. The Alumni Quarterly says: "Touches of the unusual were added to the exercises by the singing of a forgotten hymn, dedicated to Lincoln in 18IK1 by Ileverend Doctor MnhUiilnirp. The liymn, which hi d not previously been sung in public, was discovered by Professor Dodge In a eon temporary Issue of the New York Tribune."

Each one has some bit of personal well-being that can be brought out and rubbed up and admired just to keep our home circle happy this Thanksgiving day. Each one knows their own cause for content, even where It Is so commonplace as not to be distinctly visible to others. Especially this year we mustn't lose sight of the personal bright spots on account of their every-day character. A person was once visiting a friend whose home commanded a beautiful stretch of mountain scenery. It was. In fact, a magnificent view. "What a wonderful outlook you have here," he remarked to his host "I am sure If 1 lived here I should spend most of my time viewing the landscape." "Why, I never thought of It that wry," his host replied. "I never considered It anything remarkable. I have simply taken It as a matter of course." Thousands of people who live In the country enjoy a treasure which Is denied to millions of their fellowmen ?the blessing of good, pure, out-ofdoor air, fragrant In spring and summer with perfume of flowers or newmown hay, and In fall and winter laden with crisp, llfe-glvlng ozone. No one enjoys more blessings and treasures of this kind than the man or woman on the farm. He or she. If Inclined to be of a complaining nature, Is apt to And fault that life on the farm Is so hard and composed so largely of drudgery. Furthermore, "far away fields are always green," and the one on the farm Imagines that In the city all must be ease and contentment. These Imaginings, however, will not stand the test of personal acquaintanceship with the life that is lived In the cities by hundreds of thousands of people. Farm work Is hard, but there are no easy berths In life. The average person on the farm lives better, enjoys better air to breathe, better water to drink, better food to eat, better conditions under which to work, better health than the man or woman In corresponding circumstances in the city. j IKS thanks will give full witness to the om of the land Thanksgiving Day Pilgrim fathers closed their voyage tore as in the days gone by And n to fashion forth the features dear de attachments of the past will vivify will be no less sincere because the die mountains of the nearby range; . nd in the tropic Southlands and the he circles of the home with sweet tea of desolation and of solitude the ' I NG MACHINE our Type "W" Drag Saw machine, >aper, that you buy one with Bosch about $40.00.
