Edgcrton.] IKE so many other f? o o il things, y \ Thanksgiving A day in America originated with the Purlftms. But \ Pu in its present Y| form as a nation ■ /\ 1 | if y a] ly holiday its it exist- reai owes ■J 7 euee to Abraham i Lincoln. The an¬ nual designation 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 great is set apart as “a day of November 1 k.T'lSfrI. 8 by direction of congress, 5£Z President Lincoln designated the first of Augt ”US a day Of na humiliation and prayer.
