A Day of Nature.

Thanksgiving day Is our one national festival that turns on home life. It Is not a day of ecclesiastical saints. It is not a patriotic anniversary. It is not a day celebrating a religious event. It is a day of nature. It is a day of thanksgiving for the year’s history. And, it must pivot on the household . . . Remember Gods bounty brought the year. String the pearls of His goodness. Give thlsona day to thanks, to joy, to gratitude.— Henry Ward Beecher.
