Notwithstanding all their trials and hardships these brave founders of a great and glorious race had so much to be thankful for that they had to appoint an "especial day on which to give especial thanks for all their mercies." They agreed among them selves that since their prudence and forethought had been so wonderfully blessed of God, they would send out four men hunting that they might rejoice together in a special manner after the fruit of their labors had been gathered.
