Be Glad and Give Thanks.

—It is Thanksgiving Day to-morrow, according to the date of this paper. It is a stated time for giving thanks, and that is good. It is good for people to join in thanksgiving to God, the Giver of all good. Following this custom of long standing, based in the beginning, no doubt, upon the ancient harvest festivals, the presidents and governors in these United States have for many years suggested that the last Thursday in November be made a general day of thanksgiving throughout the United States and the respective states. President Roosevelt has thus appointed the last day of November for this purpose. He has also given faithful warning, which will be noticed next week. His proclamation will be found in our Outlook department.
