Thanksgiving
Tomorrow will be Thanksgiving What have we to be thankful for?
Once again we will have the opportunity to observe that day
set aside for us by our forefathers, known as Thanksgiving;
founded upon the landing of the Pilgrims at Plymouth Rock in
1620. A long period of time has elapsed since those strong-
hearted pilgrims first set foot in this country, seeking religious
freedom and freedom in government, but that day has been preserved for us to offer our thanks to God for all that has benefited
us.
Three hundred and one years have filled that elapse of time;
a great many important events in the history of the world have
happened, some of which, if not all, have been for the good of
humanity.
The Revolutionary War, the War of 1812, the Civil War, the
Spanish American War and most of all, the great World War,
have turned the lives of many people from worse to better. We
can be thankful for the Revolutionary War, which resulted in
the freedom of the American colonies from the oppression of
England and the establishment of a government of and by the
people. Tbe War of 1812 gaVe us freedom of the seas; the Civil
War made free the slaves and fulfilled the idea that all men are
equal; the Spanish-American War gave us the opportunity to
show our interest in oppressed colonies and freeing them from .
oppression.
The great World War, perhaps figures in greatly, as we are
now tn the aftermath of that war. making it a period of reconstruction. The world was made safe for democracy and saved
from the influences of Prussianlsm and Militarism. Cannot we
be thankful for this event?
All of these events should be considered in observing Thanksgiving, although they are happenings of yesterday.
Today's problems and events should interest us most; the
things they are accomplishing for us and the benefit that will be
derived from them by tbe generations to come. The great question and event of today is the Disarmament Conference being
held at Washington; delegates attending from the greatest
world powers of today. Although not concluded and nothing
definite decided, can we not feel thankful in the anticipation of
what the world's greatest diplomats are to do for us
It should be with great satisfaction that we view the present
day and age in that it is a reconstruction for tbe whole world
and that the generations to come shall be benefited by what happened today.
Let us offer our thanks tomorrow when we think of what
happened yesterday and of what is happening today with the
most of consideration, not catering to pessimistic views but to
those which will give us the best thoughts and the ideal conditions in which we should live.
