The Pilgrimage
to Progress
It's a far cry from the year 1 620, when
a small band of pioneers landed on the
desolate coast of New England, facing
suffering and privation.
They were the Pilgrims . . . embark
ing on a long and arduous journey the
Pilgrimage to Progress.
They, and their splendid kind, have
made the road easier for us, infinitely
easier; But the journey is not ended. It
never ends. The Pilgrimage to Progress
goes on forever.
We wish to proclaim our Thankful
ness for the fine patronage that is ours,
and to express our thanks that we, too,
are Pilgrims, privileged to serve, to im
prove, to carry on the work that leads to
better and bigger things. . . .

Thanksgiving can well he called
an American institution, for most
of the Indian tribes celebrated a
thanksgiving or "harvest feast" long
before the white man came to the
New World.
It is an old feast with the Jemez
Indians, a tribe of the Pueblos. They
kept the feast before the Pilgrims
came to America and they keep it
still. They have been at least nom
inally Christianizd. so that they hold
their harvest dance festival on the
church feast-day of San Imgo (Saint
James) hut the ceremonial itself is.
carried over unchanged from the
ways of their picturesque and pagan
ancestors.
On the feast day of group f clowns
issue from the church, or kiva. Their
bodies painted in yellow, moccasins
and leggings tinged in red. with
richly colored blankets on which are
embroidered, in characteristic colors,
figures of the sun, rnoon, the great
stars, the good and evil snakes, tile
rainbows, and the "steps from earth
to heaven." Some of the clowns
walk with a cane like an old man;
some go on all fours.
After these enter the plaza the
musicians, twelve in number, fol
low. They are dressed in white, with
faces and bodies painted white. They
chant a rude rhythmic souk in the
minor key. and beat time with, a
single stick on a hollow-log drum.
Soon the dances appear, in double
column, two men abreast, then two
women, and so alternating. The
men stamp, the women trip lightly.
After a ceremonial dance the men
swing their gourd rattles as if tow
ing grain, the women sticking the
ends of the ears of corn into the
ground in imitation of planting corn.
When this rite is over the other
women in the tribe rush out of thoir
houses with baskets of eaiahh.
rrs of corn, bread. caks. etc. These
they throw up into the air in all
directions. In this act of throwing
heavenward the food which heaven
has enabled it to raise th" tribe dis
plays its gratitude.
The Iroquois Indians have four
festivals of Thank-giving. In the
spring they give thanks for all the
waters, the springs, the streams, the
rains, the sun and the wind. The
next one is the summer festival.
The autumn is the corn festival.
which lasts three days, and the last
is the winter festival, which last.?
five days. At each feast the Indians
name all the gifts of the Great Spirit
to them.
The first Thanksgiving of the
Colonists was in September, 1C21,
the second year of the Plymouth
Colony in the New World. After
the first dreadful winter, during
which almost half of the Pilgrim
company had died, had passed, re
newed hope had grown up with the
summer. In the fall the corn crop
was gathered, and Governor Ilrr.d
ford proclaimed a day of thanksgiv
ing. Extensive preparations were
made. The Governor sent out four
huntsmen, who in one day secured
enough game to supply the Colony
for nearly a week. The few women
in the colony spent days in boiling,
baking and roasting, and even the
children busied themselves in turn
ing the roasts on the spits before the
open fires. Hospitality vas exteid'-d
to Chief Massasoit, who accepted
and brought ninety people with him.
The guests remained three days, dur
ing which they captured five deer to
add to the larder of their hosts. The
tables were tet out of doors- and the
whole colony sat about tehm as one
big family. The first Thanksgiving
was, not merely a feast, there were
prayers, sermons and songs of praise.
From Plymouth the custom spread
to other colonies, and in time it be
came an annual affair, the colonial
governors Issuing Thanksgiving pro
clamations each year, generally in
the fall.
During the Revolutionary war.
Congress recommended days of
thanksgiving; and in 17S4 for the
return of peace, as did Madison in
1815. Washington appointed No
vember 26, 17S9, after the adoption
of the Constitution an a day ni
thanks, and again in 17D.i he ap
pointed a day of thanki vlng for
the generai benefits and welfare of
the nation.
The Episcopal church In America
in 1789 announced the first Thurs
day in November as a regular annual
day for giving thanks "nnles such
a day he appointed by the authori
ties." The Unman Catholic church
in 1SSS so honored the day.
But there was no uniformity of
observance. Some states had an an
nual Thanksgiving, others did not,
and no proclamation was Issued by
the President after Madison s term.
One woman, Mrs. Sarah .losepna
Hale, editor of Godey's Lady Book.
took an intense interest In the sub
ject and for more than twenty years
sent out pleas thru the columns or
her journal for n nation-wide thanks
giving. She wrote letters to each or
the Presidents and to other promin
ent men finally in 18:i. rresuieni
Lincoln appointed the last Thursday
of November as Thanksgiving Day.
From 1863 the same day has heen
regularly set apart. The President
annually makes a formal announce
ment which is sent to the governors
of the different states, each of whom
issues a corresponding proclamation
for his state.. The day Is not a na
tional holiday the U. s. has no
legal holidays, not even the Fourth
of July, but almost every slate nas
legalized it by lelslatlve net.
The Dominion of Canada, too, nas
an annual Thanksgiving Hay, simi
lar to our Day. It is proclaimed by
the Governor-General as a harvest
festival, and unlike that of the Uni
ted States Is not always set for the
same day. Usually it falls in the j
