IN view Of the works ofCrcation and Prov

and adore our Creator. The c0ntem-
patton of His power and goodness,
teaches the proprety Of humbng our
selves before Him; Of imporinG His
forgiveness for Sin and abuse Of tile many
favors and blessings which have been
bestowed upon, as individuals and as
people; and of invoking the continu-
ance Of his kindness and protection on us
and our beloved country.
That convenient season may be
presented for the whole community
to unite in this pleasing and grateful
service, | do hereby appoint FRI
DAY, the SEVENTH day of April
next, TO be observed as day Of
Fasting, Humiliation and Prayer
throughout this State.
Let us on that day, abstaining from
every thing inappropriate to the du-
ties thereof, assemble at our several
places Of public worship, and with
hearts suited to the occasion, in
meekness and humility, confess our
departure from the path of rectitude,
and entrcat forgiveness. Let us be-
seech our Heavenly Father, that
through the influence of the mex
haustible grace Of our Savior, the di-
vine law Of love may be written upon
every heart, and that we may be aid
ed in the performance Of all our
duties to God and to our fellow
men.
Let us pray God that our citizens
may be prospercd in all their lauda-
bic pursuits that the seasons may
be ordered in mercy that the
earth may yield of its fullness to the
Iabors Of the husbandman that He
would incline the hearts Of the veal
thy in this season of unusual search
ty, to remember and relieve the
wants and sufferings Of the poor and
distressed: that the rod of the OPP
pressor may be broken and the OPP
pressed go free.
Let us pray that our schools and
seminaries of learning may accom-
plish the benevolent objects Of their
founders; instilling into the minds
of our youth such pure principles OF
piety, morality and love of country,
as shall be a sure guaranty for the
