promotion and enjoyment of social happi-
ness.
And while, with Thanksgiving, we
commemorate these testimonials of divine
goodness, may we be duly sensible of our
unworthiness, and repentant of our many
neglects and transgressions. In prayer
and supplication may we approach the
throne of infinite mercy, seeking forgive
ness and favour. With our personal de-
sires and wants, may we also commend
the interests and prospects of our beloved
country to the care of Heaven, imploring
of him, who directs the destinies Of ma
tons, that he would preserve our domes-
tick tranquility, give strength to our union,
bless the General and State Government
and those who from time to time are cal
led to administer them; that our institu-
tons, and the rights and privileges which
they secure to US, may be maintained in
violate, for an inheritance, to the latest
posterity.
BY sympathy for the afflicted, and in
deeds of charity to the poor and the dis
tressed, may our piety, at all times, be
approved and on the day of this appoint
ed festival, abstaining from amusements
and labours inconsistent with its religious
observance, may the fervency Of our De-
votions manifest the sincerity of our as
criptions of praise.

GoUeTnour Of the Commonwealth of Massac

oOoe'Hour % he commonwealth Of Massachusetts
A PROCLAMATION
FOR DAY OF PUBLIcK THANKSGIVING AND
PRAISE.
The ingathering of the fruits of the
earth has annually been recognised by the
citizens of this Commonwealth as a fiji
occasion for publick acknowledgements ia
Almighty God for the bounties of his
providence, and for united expressions OF
pious gratitude for the manifestation OF
his sovereign power and grace.
On the completion of another revolution
OF the seasons, | do, therefore, with the
advice and consent of the Executive
Council, appoint THURSDAY THE
TwENTY-sEvENTH DAY OF NOVEMBER
NEXT, to be celebrated with THANKS
GIVING and PRAISE, throughout this
Commonwealth, for the various and rich
enloyments of the past year. And I do
recommend to ministers andpeople of eve
ny religious denomination, to assemble
IN their respective congregations, on that
day, that, with hearts animated by offices
OF social worship, to sense of their de-
pendence upon the Creator and benef-
cent Ruler of the Universe, they may Of
fer to him the alteration and homage
which are due to his holy name and at
tributes.
1t becomes them more especially, on
such an occasion, to recount the favours,
which they have received of his unmerit-
ed goodness. That life is rendered dear
by the many blessings with which its bes-
towment and preservation are accompani-
ed. That the cultivation of moral Ca
pacity is encouraged, by those higher and
nobier views of intellectual attainment,
which science and learning and religion
unfold. That the revelation of the will OF
God, through the mission and ministry
OF his son Jesus Christ, gives assurance OF
Immortality, offers Of pardon, and hopes
OF salvation to the undying spirit of man.
With devout and fervent gratitude may
we bless the Lord, for the unusual health
which has prevailed through the season,
for the abundant haryests which have re-
warded the labours of the husbandman.
for the prosperous condition of the great
interests of the country, for the peace of
the nation, and for the enlarged means
and multiplied advantages for moral and
