HARVEST THANKSGIVING,
[To the Editor or the Daily Telegraph.] Sir,—Thaharvest thanksgiving services,,,at St. John's Church yesterday evidence the nature of man to ascribe to a higher power the mercies and the .misfortunes of life. Amongst nil peoplo and in all ages this religious sentiment has been-f ound. To' ■wit, the worship of Isis—the festival of Isia—the worship of Ceres, the goddess, who having
instructed Triptolemus of Eleusis in eventhing relating to agriculture, was gratefu ly remembered in the celebration of the Eleusinian mysteries. Perhaps some of your readers can throw more light on this subject.—l am, &c, Napier, March 24, 1884.
