Thanksgiving j'
At Solomon
■
Solomon, Alaska,;
Nov. 29. 1946.;
Thanksgiving was served pretty :
well this year, 1946. Everybody
was glad to have thanks God for
it. Also they thanks God to keep
them in good health this year.
First before three day’s before
Thanksgiving they all hunt for
ptarmigan for Thanksgiving party.
The party was serve at three
o’clock p.m. Everybody we join
the party.
They had everything on table,
cake and coffee and tea, and nu- j
tive food was serve. Eskimo ice ;
cream was service. Black berries 1
and all kinds of berries was on
table, and they all fill up, and ev
erybody was thanks for the party I
and enjoy it all evening.
And then after partie the school
children program start. It was 7
o’clock. And then after school
children program the church pro- i
gram start. First open song was 1
America a beautiful. Everybody j
was stand up to sing American a
Beautiful. j
And then after they sing and j
then English choir and then the ■
little children Sunschool program .
start, and young people had choirs ,
opens up. And they open up a
string band, Praise Ye The Lord, i
They had four string band play- j
ing, and then the English choirs j
opens up again. And then the -
scripture opens up. Scripture was 5
Psalm 147:1. The question was
given: “How did you celebrate
Thanks’ giving day? Did you in- 5
elude God?" To leave God out is j
to make the day an empty name \
without meaning.
Thanksgiving is nothing if not
a glad and reverent lifting of the |
heart to God in honor and praise |
for his goodness.
And then a scripture again from
Epistle James 1:16. Do not err, my
beloved brethren. Every good gift
and every perfect gift is from j
above, and cometh down from the
father of lights with whom is no
variableness, neither shadow of
turning.
And then open up up scripture
again from Psalms 107:1-2: O give
thanks unto the Lord, let redeem
ed of Lord say so.
What I have I to be thankful for
this question was in the heart and I
lips of many today. j
Blessings from God are show- j
ered upon us on every hand, yet J
people are blind to see them, be- J
cause they are too taken up with
feeling sorry for themself.
We can thank God for a coun- ‘
try where we can worship God in
freedom.
And then after scripture was
close, everybody was stand up and
song was, Count your Blessing.
After church program was end,
everybody open up a play game at
school house until one o’clock
night.
They all enjoy Thanksgiving,
everybody happy. Solomon peo
ple they are busy with new church
build up this year. They expect to
finish it this winter.

STOCKINGS
The stockings the children of to
day hang by the fireplace were
once the wooden shoes of the chil
dren of Amsterdam. With the pass
ing of wooden shoes, the children
hopefully began to hang their
stockings by the fire instead. The
apples and nuts placed in the
stockings are symbolic of love and
fertility.
Here’s to Christmas warmth and cheer,
May it linger throughout the year!
