Though ‘the peas be parched in blossom, and the grain indifferent good.’ Who blessed the loaves and fishes* for the feast miraculous. And filled with oil the widow’s cruse. He hath remembered us! “Give thanks unto the Lord of Hosts, by whom we all are fed. Who granted us our daily prayer, ‘Give us our daily bread!’ By us and by our chi!dren let thi^ day be kept for aye, In memory of His bounty, as the land’s Tban^giving Day.” Each brought his share of Indian meal the pious feast to make, With the fat deer from the forest and the wild-fowl from the brake. And chanted hymn and prayer were rais ed—^though eyes with tears were dim “The Lord He hath remembered us, let us remember Him!” Then Bradford stood up at their head and lifted up his voice: “The com is gathered from the field, I call you to rejoice; Thank God for all Hiis mercies, from the greatest to the least, Together have we fasted, friends, togeth er let us feast. “The Lord who led forth Israel was with us in the waste: Sometime in light, sometime in cloud, be fore us He hath paced; Now give Him th^ankB, and pray to Him who holds us in His hand To prosper us. and make of this a strong and mighty land!” From Plymouth to the Golden Gate to-day their children tread, The mercies of that bounteous Hand upon the land are shed; The “flocks are on a thousand hills,” the prairies wave with grain. The cities spring like mushrooms now where once was desert-plain. noon. W. H. N«al, President of the North Carolina Bankers Associ ation and Vice Preslduit of the Wachovia Bank and Trust Com- I>any of Winston-Salem will make the keynote address. His talk will deal with “Rural Industrlee and a Balanced Agriculture.” Other program Items are as follows: 10:00 a. m. Opening of the meeting by J. B. Williams, Pree- Ident of the Chamber of Corn- Heap high and board with plenteous cheer and gather to the feast, And toast that sturdy Pilgrim band whose courage never ceased. Give praise to that All-Gracious One by whom their steps were led. And thanks unto the harvest’s Lord who sends our “daiily bread.” Mts. O.
