THE DAY Among Anglo-Saxons in the curly times a Thanksgiving Day was oftc'i held for some special reason, and observ ance was obligatory. Queen EHaLe'li issued a proclamation for the obsirv ance of a day of thanksgiving which re quired special religious observances, saying: On Thanksgiving day no service lalor may be performed, ind thanks should be offered for the increase and ilbundai'ce of His fruits upon the face of the e.irlli. A national thanksgiving was observ ed in England on the defeat of Ihe Spanish Armada. Oliver Cromwell gave directions for thanksgiving days during his protectorate. Ou the dis covery of the "gunpowder pl.it," in 11105, a day of thanksgiving was ob served. George Ill's recovery from temporary insanity was celebrated with thanksgiving services throughout the realm. A similar observance was held so recently as 1872. when the Prime of W.;les had recovered from a seve e illnesi-. That in 1lt!l in Masachuse,ls was for "stopping the bottles of heaven" and restraining the "excessive rains." FIRST IN NORTH AMERICA. The first thanksgiving service held in North America was observed by reli gious ceremonies conducted by a priest of the Church of Englund, named Wol , fall, in 1578. ou the shores of New foundland. He accompanied the expe dition under Frobisher, which brought the first English colony to settle on these shores. The record of the day's observances is thus preserved on the ship'- log: On .Monday morning, May 27, 1578, c on board ihe Ayde, we received all the communion by the minister of Grave send and prepared as Hood Christian toward God and resolute men for all fortunes, and toward night we departed toward Tilberry Hope. Here we highly pruyscd God a.iJ altogether upon our knees gave IIjii due bumble aud hear ty thanks and Maister Wolfall, a learn ed man appointed by her Majesty's council to be our minister, made unto us a Godlye sermon, exerting nil espe cially to be thankful to God for His strange and miraculous deliverance iu those dangerous places. The earliest recorded observance of a similar service within, the present terri tory of the United States was held by the Popham Colony, who settled ai Sngndahoc, on the coast of Maine, in August, 1007. The quaiut record says: Suudaye being the 9th day of August in the niorninge the most part of our hole company of both our ships lauded on Ibis whin.) tliu tvhu.1i ivu V, Georges Island, where the cross standeth ! and thear we heard a sermon delivred unto us by our preacher, giving God thanks for our happy meetinge and safe rrrivall into the country and so returned aboard again. FIRST BY A GOVERNOR. But these were mere thanksgiving services. The real origin of Thanks giving as a day specially set apart for prayer and rejoicing is attributed to Governor Bradford, the first Governor of Massachusetts Colony, who, in gra titude for the bountiful harvest of 1i"l, gave direction for the observance : of a day of thanksgiving to be held on December 31 of that year. Here are Governor Bradford's own words to show what they bud to be grateful for: They begane now to gather ill ye small harvest they had and to fitte up their houses and dwelliugs against win ter, being all well recovered iu health and strength, and had all things tu good plenty; for as some were thus em ployed in affairs abroad, others were ex ercised in fishing about codd and bass and other fish, of which yey took good store, of which every family bad their portion. All ye same, there was no waste. And now began to come iu store of l'oule, as winter approached, of which (his place did abound when they came first Ibut afterward decreased by degrees!, and beside water foule there was great store of wild Tnrkios, of which they took many, besides venison, etc. Beside, they had about a peck of meal a weeke to a person, or now, since harvest, Indian corn to ye propor tion. GEORGE WASHINGTON'S FIRST. During the Revolution Thanksgiving became national. Congress annually re commending a day to be set apart for this purpose, but after the general Thaui-sgiiing for Peace iu 17S4 the custom was omitted until the ndoptio of the Federal Constitution in 17S!, when President Washington appointed Thursday, November 20, for a national observance. Tbis was given at New York on October 3, and may be taken as the pioneer of Presidential Thanks giving proclamations. Here is an ex tract from it: Whereas, It is the duty of all nations to acknowledge the providence of Al mighty God, to obey His will, to be grateful for His benefits and humbly to implore His protection and favor. Now, therefore, I do recommend and assign Thursday, the 20th day of No vember next, to be devoted by the peo ple of these States to the service of that great and glorious Being, who is the Beueticent Author of all the good that was, that is, or that will be. that we may then all unite in rendering to Him our sincere and humble thanks for His kind care and protection of the people of this country previous to their becoming a nation, for the signal and manifold mercies and the favorable in terpositions of His providence, iu the course and conclusion of the late war, for the great degree of tranquillity, union and plenty which we have since enjoyed, for the peaceable and rational manner in which we have been enabled to establish constitutions of government for our safetly and happiness, and parti cularly the national one now lately insti tuted; for fhe civil and religions liberty with which we are blessed and the means Ave have of acquiring and dif fusing useful knowledge; and in general for all the great and various favors which He has been pleased to confer upon us.
