One hundred Thanksgiving days ago....

One hundred Thanksgiving days ago, Nephi Larsen stood on the Streets of Preston with Oscar A. Kirkham watching students of the Oneida Stake Academy march in a Founder's Day parade. The OSA band was playing and banners were waving in the autumn breeze, wrote Larsen in an article that appeared in the May 1915 edition of the "Improvement Era," a publication of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

"One of the banners, held proudly above the heads of the marching students, had printed on it in bold letters, "Labor conquers everything." Kirkham caught sight of the inscription and remarked, "Labor does not conquer everything. There are many things that can only be conquered by faith."

Happy Thanksgiving!!!!!!!!!!!!
