The first Thanksgiving days were harvest festivals or days for thanking God for plen tiful crops. This custom still holds good for our crops of 1957. We can make this Thanksgiving as memorable as the old fashioned kind by putting into it the most necessary ingredient—a spirit of true thankfulness to God for His blessings. May I share witli you this Thanksgiving Prayer which was on our Church bulletin Sunday. O Most Loving And, Generous Father, We come with special gratitude in our hearts today. Aware as we are that every day ought to be a Thanksgiving day for each of us, we ask Thy for giveness for the times when we have failed to be truly apprecia tive of the kindnesses, tender care, correction, food, shelter, and life itself that Thou hast given us. We thank Thee for the abund ant harvest in this land, praying that we may ever be as mindful as our Pilgrim Fathers were, of | our indebtedness to Thee. We thank Thee for all work! envisioned or accomplished that has as its aim the strengthening. of the ties of peace, brotherhood, j 20 YEARS AGO Continued from Page I—Section 1 iendent of Tidewater Construc tion Company spoke to Edenlon Lions, giving interesting statis tics regarding construction of the Albemarle Sound bridge. ~ The Rev.
