Thanksgiving Observed in the Philippines

A DISPATCH from Manila, under date of November 27, states that “the first general observance of Thanksgiving day by the Roman Catholic Church in the Philippines took place here to-day. Bishop Gracia,” the dispatch says, “issued a letter calling attention to the proclamation of President Roosevelt and Governor Taft, and many Americans joined in the observance of the American holiday. A solemn high mass was held in the cathedral, the apostolic delegate, Archbishop Guidi, giving his benediction to the worshipers. Governor Taft and many Americans were among those present.”
