48. Pilgrim's Progress
Of course this doesn't sound like modern
America - the land of
Plenty. We know that industry, labor, and science have worked a miracle
and for that we are very thankful. But also, as we look back at that
first Thanksgiving, we can see in it a much larger meaning.
Whether we
realize it or not, when we observe Thanksgiving now, we are paying
tribute to those ancestors of ours who emphasized, in addition to work
and piety, one of the most important of all our New World possessions -
Freedom. ●
