THANKSGIVING HYMN.
FOR CALIFORNIA.
Our forefathers gave thanks to God,
In the land by the stormy sea,
For bread hard wrung from the iron sod
In cold and misery.
Though every day meant toil and strife,
In the land by the stormy sea,
They thanked their God for the gift of life—
How much the more should we!
Stern frost had they full many a day,
