by the president
of the last Thurs
LINCOLN GIVING day in November
THANKS. for such observ
anee.was started by him in 18413, and
there lias since been no break in the j
yearly Thanksgiving proclamation?
since that date. ^
The first LiuceRi f*V; 4m»ebtmatiea ( m
pointing a day Anglic, (1*3
was dated 1-861. Ft z:
nated the last Thursday in September
as “a day of humiliation, prayer ami
fasting.” Things did not look especial¬
ly bright for the nqrthcrn arms just
then. The memory of Bull Him vyis
still fresh. Perhaps to this fact may
be ascribed the pathetic wording of
the document:
Whereas, When our own beloved coun¬
try, once, by the blessing of God, united,
prosperous and happy, is now afflicted
with faction and civil war, it is peculiar¬
ly fit for us to recognize the hand of God
in this terrible visitatio!i“and in sorrowful
remembrance Of our own faults and
crimes as a nation and as individuals to
humble ourselves before him and to pray
for his mercy.
Thousands ef individuals through¬
out the laud refrained from food and
prayed for the nation’s salvation. The'
regular Thanksgiving in November,
180J, was a rather subdued occasion
and there was no presidential procla¬
mation. By the folio v ug spring, how
ever, the clouds ha i begun to lift.
Forts Henry and Don >lsou had been
captured and Shiloh i .4 been fought.
So on the 10th of A;tiil'Lincoln ^re¬
quested that the pr >; give thanks
because "it lias pleased Almighty
God to vouchsafe s gaai victories to
the land and naval forces.” Thanks¬
giving day proper tu November of 1SG2
was observed much as lt^had been the
year previous and no proclamation ac¬
companied it.
The momentous year of 1863 saw
three such proclamations, however.
The first was dated March 30 and
designated AprU 30 ae a day of fasting
and prayer. In this rather noteworthy
document occurs the significant state¬
ment, "But we have’ forgotten God.”
By July 15 Vicksburg had opened
the Mississippi, and Gettysburg had
ended the fear of invasion, so on that
day another proclamation was issu#d,
reciting that God had heard the pray
ers of the people and had vouchsafed
“victories on laud and sea so signal
aud so effective” as to promise ulti
mate peace. So Thurs* national ay, Aug. tliunks- 6, was |
set apart as a day fo ’
giving. the Jrst of Lincoln’s
Ou Oct. 3 came
regular Thaiiksgiviu ; day puoclama
tions. It recites the righter outlook
for the Union, dwells lovingly on the
continued growth of nation despite
its tribulations, grax-.ully points to
the fact that other n j tions have not
"Xo human worked out these
hath any mortal baud
things. •• g0 the last Thursday in
