The Thanksgiving Turkey
Of all the Thanksgiving symbols the turkey has become the most well known. The wild turkey is native to northern Mexico and the eastern United States.
The turkey has brown features with buff-colored feathers on the tips of the wing and on the tail. The male turkey is called a Tom and, as with most birds, is bigger and has brighter and more colorful plumage. The female is called a Hen and is generally smaller and drab in color. The Tom turkey has a long wattle (a fleshy, wrinkled, brightly colored fold of skin hanging from the neck or throat) at the ba of its bill and additional wattles on the neck, as well as a prominent tuft of bristles rembling a beard projecting downward from its chest.
The turkey was originally domesticated in Mexico, and was brought into Europe early in the 16th century. Since that time, turkeys have been extensively raid becau of the exce
llent quality of their meat and eggs. Some of the common breeds of turkey in the United States are the Bronze, Narragantt, White Holland, and Bourbon Red.
Though there is no real evidence that turkey was rved at the Pilgrim's first thanksgiving, in a book written by the Pilgrim's Governor Bradford, he does make mention of wild turkeys. In a letter nt to England, another Pilgrim describes how the governor nt "four men out fowling" returning with turkeys, ducks and gee.
Benjamin Franklin once said, "I wish the Bald Eagle had not been chon as the reprentative of our country; he is a Bird of bad moral character; like tho among Men who live by Sharping and Robbing, he is generally poor and very often lousy. The Turkey is a much more respectable Bird and withal a true original Native of North America. "

The Last Dinner
Jesus spent his last few hours of liberty quietly in the suburb of Bethany. It was the day of Passover. The Jews obrved this feast by eating roast lamb and unleavened bread.
Jesus asked his disciples to go to town and rerve a room in one of the smaller inns and order a dinner that they might all be together.
When evening came, Judas, looking bland and innocent, left the hou together with the others. They went down the Mount of Olives and entered the city and found that everything was ready. They took their ats around one long table and began to eat.
But it was not a cheerful meal. They felt the dread of tho coming events which already were casting their terrible shadow over the small group of faithful friends.
Jesus spoke very little. The others sat in gloomy silence. At last Peter could stand it no longer, and he blurted out what was in everybody’s mind . “Master, ”he said,“we want to know. Do you have reason to suspect one of us?” Softly Jesus answered, “ Yes. One among you who is now sitting at this table will bring disaster upon us all. ” Then all the disciples got up and crowded around him. They protested their innocence. At that moment Judas slipped quietly out of the room. They now all knew what was to come. They could no longer remain in that little room. They needed fresh air, and they left the in
n and walked out of the gate and went back to the Mount of Olives and opened the wicket to a garden which a friend had told them to u whenever they wished to be alone . It was called Gethmane , after an old oil-press which stood in a corner. After a while Jesus walked away from the little group. But three of the disciples who were clost to him, followed at a distance.
He turned around and bade them wait and watch while he prayed.
The time had come for a final decision. Escape was still possible , but escape would mean a silent confession of guilt and defeat for his ideas.
He was alone among the silent trees and fought his last great battle . He was a man in the fullness of his years. Life still held a great promi. Death, once his enemies captured him, would come in a most terrible form. He made his choice . He stayed. He went back to his friends. And behold! They were fast asleep . A moment later, the whole garden was in an uproar. Led by Judas, the guards of the Sanhedrin rushed upon the prophet. Judas was at their head. He threw his arms around his master and kisd him. That was the sig
n for which the soldiers had waited. At that moment, Peter realized what was happening.
