THANKSGIVING
DAY
WHENCE
CAME
THANKSGIVING
DAY,
the
sixty-ninth
consecutive
observance
of
which
will
be
marked
by
Canadians
on
Monday.
As
they
prepare
for
1947's
final
long
week-end
holiday,
many
citizens
might
be
surprised
to
hear
that
their
favorite
day
of
turkey
and
cranberry
sauce
is
not
typically
Canadianand
certainiy
not
Canadian
in
origin.
Just
as
most
"name"
or
"holy"
days
which
come
during
autumn,
Thanksgiving
has
its
earliest
known
roots
in
ancient
myth,
fact
and
fancy.
Druids,
Romans,
Greeks,
Israelites
and
in
fact,
most
agricultural
peoples
of
the
ancient
world
set
aside
one
or
several
days
about
the
time
of
the
autumnal
equinox
to
give
thanks
for
swollen
granaries
and
groaning
festive
boards.
In
.Rome,
the
period
was
marked
by
festivals.
-feasts."
and
parades
in
which
cornucopias
"horns
of
plenty
crammed
with
fruits
and
flowers
were
-carried
as
symbols
of
the
land's
kiridiiess
and
man's
I'
thankfulness.
Coinciding
with
the
Yeari-thanksgiving
for
nnual
custom
of
early
reniecosi
ana
laoernacies
just
recently
observed
by
Jews
throughout
the
world.
Hundreds
of
years
later,
the
custom
was
ported'
to
the
New
World
by
Dutch
settlers
and
the
Pilgrim
Fathers..
The
latter
set
aside
one
day
a
year
to
give
thanks
for
New
England's
material
blessings
following
their
first
harvest
in
1621.
Later,
George
Washington
and
succeeding
presidents
of
the
new
republic
named
various
thanksgiving
days
for
war
victories
and
good
crops.
In
18(k,
during
the
then
raging
Civil
War,
Abraham
Lincoln
appointed
the
fourth
Thursday
in
November
as
an
annual
day
of
national
thanksgiving.
In
Canada,
Thanksgiving
Day
has
been
observed,
since
the
Marauess
of
Lome,
then
governor-general,
fixed
November
6,
1879,
as,
a
day
"to
at-tend
church
and
give
thanks
for
the
blessings
with
"which
Canada
has
been
favored
during
the
year."
However,
thanksgiving
observance
in
Canada
has
not
always
been
given
over
to
gratitude,
family
reunions
and
home
festivals.
Early
chronicles
tell
of
victorious
British
troops
celebrating
their
StojrirSng
of
Quebec
and
'defeat
of
'French
forces
on
the
Plains
of
Abraham
with
a
thanksgiving
ser--vice
in
the
Ursuline
Chapel
at'Quebec.
It
was
during
the
First
World
War

religious
aspect
of

IMPROVING
SERVICE
VOASTAL
STEAMSHIP
COMPANIES
are
all
V.
admitting
in
a
tangible
way
the
growing
im-f
portance
of
Prince
Rupert
and
the
need
for
giyjng
it
improved
service.
Latest
and
very
grati-
"fywg
example
of
this
comes
in
a
double-barrelled
way
from
Union
Steamships
Ltd.
which
announces
the
inauguration
of
a
new
fast
direct
service
in
both
directions
between
Prince
Rupert
and
Vancouver
and
extension
of
the
present
Alaska
service
to
Ketchikan
to
include
also
Wrangell
and
Petersburg,
further
along
in
southeastern
Alaska.
Of
outstanding
importance
to
Prince
Rupert
in
the
new
service
is
its
effect
in
making
this
port
of
more
ready
and
frequent
access
to
the
nearer
points
of
southastern
Alaska
whose
people
have
of
late
been
more
and
more
expressing
their
keen
desire
of
taking
more
full
advantage
of
this
port
and
railway
lme
as
a
handy
connecting
link
with
the
United
States.
With
co-operation
of
the
Canadian
Na-"onat
Railways,
the
new
service
has
the
possibility
of
being
developed
into
an
important
feeder
of
traffic
into
the
local
line.
Before
long
it
is
to
be
hoped
that
better
connections
may
be
made
by
trains
running
out
of
here
not
only
with
the
railway
company's
own
Alaska
vessels
but
with
those
of
other
lines
all
with
a
view
to
developing
a
speedier
and
more
efficient
service
between
Alaska
and
the
United
States
through
Prince
Rupert
and
providing
a
better
supply
line
from
this,
Alaska's
most
strategic
port
of
entry
and
egress.
t
Meanwhile
it
is
gratifying
to
see
the
increasing
importance
that
ship
operators
are
attaching
to
this
port
with
special
mention
for
the
moment
to

SATURDAY
"HUT
WHERE
ARE
THE
NINE?"
Luke
17:17
(By
REV.
R.
A.
WILSON,
First
United
Church)
I
hope
no
one
is
misled
by
the
title
of
this
sermon.
It
isn't
about
a
missing
baseball
team.
The
phrase,
"But
where
are
the
nine?"
comes
from
the
story
of
the
cleansing
of
the
ten
lepers.
Chapter
XVII
I
of
St.
Luke's
gospel
tells
how
ten
lepers
came
to
Jesus
seeking
to
be
healed
of
their
terrible
disease.
Jesus
told
them
to
go
and
show
them-
selves
to
the
priests
as
the
law
required
of
lepers
who
were
cleansed.
As
they
walked
the
ten
were
healed.
Ten
were
healed
but
only
one
turned
back
to
thank
the
Lord.
The
fact
that
Jesus
appreciated
a
thankful
spirit
Is
supported
by
His
(question:
"But
where
are
the
nine?"
Tomorrow
Is
Thanksgiving
Sunday
and-the
story
of
the
lepers
will
be
repeated.
About
one
in
ten
will
return
to
give
thanks
to
the
Lord.
It
seems
Incredible
that
ten
men
healed
.
of
leprosy
would
neglect'
to
;
thank
the
one
who
cured
them.
1
It
is
equally
unbelievable
that
our
overstuffed
countrymen
will
fail
to
give
thanks
to
the
God
who
has
given
us
all
things.
I
Yet,
unbelievable
as
it
Is,
it
will,
1
be
a
sensational
4YlnM-1
day
t
If
more
Mj-twn'
than
one
in
ten
of
our
fellow
citizens
say
"thank
you"
in
any
special
way
tomorrow.
Some,
of
course,
will
say
they"
can
thank
God
Just
as
heartily
from
a
comfortable
place
on
a
snring-filled
mattress.
Perhaps
it's
true,
but
will
they?
The
devotion
of
some
nominal
Christians
reminds
one
of
the
story
of
the
young
Romeo
wild
was
writing
his
lady
friend
a
love
letter
in
which
he
said
among
other
things
the
following:
"I
would
climb
the
highest
moun
tain,
or
swim
te
widest
ocean
Just
for
one
smile
from
your
swet
Hps."
The
letter
ended
with
this
postscript:"
"If
it
doesn't
rain
Saturday
night,
111
be
over
to
see
you!"
As
a
people
we
have
a
great
deal
to
be
thankful
for.
The
world
is
without
houses
bul
we
'have
house?.
The
world
is
unclothed
but
we
are
well
clad.
The
world
is
hungry
but
we
are
wel
fed.
The
list
is
almost
ln-rxhaustable.
Even
our
children,
the
most
amazing
of
all
blessings,
seem
to
be
better
behaved
than
they
were
a

ago.

SERMON
certainly
ought
to
give

We
ought
tu
give
it
with
humility
for
how
can
we
act
as
if
what
we
had
was
ours
by
right?
By
what
special
merit
do
we
deserve
to
be
so
well
off?
The
very
least
we
can
do
to
be
thankful.
When
our
world
Is
saved
from
its
hunger
and
its
war
it
will
be
saved
by
men
like
the
one
who
returned
to
say
"thank
you."
Unthankfulness
is
a
kind
of
atheism.
Nothing
else
so
completey
denies
God.
And,
like
other
atheisms,
unthankfulness
leads
to
Idolatry.
It
leads,
to
j
that
particular
kind
of
Idolatry
i
by
which
a
man
mistakes
him-'
self
for
God.
It
Is
