The festival appears early tn Jewtoh history, and. as 11 waa connected with the land and tta poesoarion. mSy haw had a Canaan I tUh prototype 1U celebration waa annual, and each festival Continued through seven days. - At the beginning “two vessels of stiver were carried to a ceremonious manner to the temple, one fuU of water, the other of wine, which were poured at the foot of the altar of burnt offerings, always on the seventh day of the festival" Plutarch describe* thla ceremonial, which be believed waa a feast of Bacchus. " He says: “The Jew* celebrate

two feast* of Bacchus. In the of the Vintage they apread

spread with all manner of frails, and lire to tabernacle* made especially of palm* and Ivy together. ... A few day* later they kept another festival which waa openly dedicated to Bacchus, for they carried boughs of palm* to their hands, with which the/ went Into the temple, the Lerites going be-

Not Copied From the Jews. Undoubtedly our present Thanksgiving day has Iva prototype tn the Plymouth thanksgiving festival of lit!. It has bseu asserted repoatodly that the Plymouth festival was aug r* t*d to the Pilgrim* by the Jewish “Feast of Ingathering." Thai la ^iot probable, as the dlflerenea* between them ure more striking than the like nef sc*.
