In view Of the countless blessings which we
a. people have received from the Supreme
Being, II is eminently Just and proper Tor us,
as atomtnunity, TO rendert to Him the tribute
OF ouriueost grateful Thanksgiving and praise.
How gfsaAly fsvored. indeed, are we as a
etsts. Mhsfsis there such another land as
this whiehws inhabit, with its wide spreading
psairiss, tits Tsxhanstless soil, its beautiful
groves, and ito thousand streams, and how
grateful should we be, that our lots have been
cast just here in these places SO pleasant, and
eyerywsy 90 desirable; here where these free
institutions secure to US so much general and
80 much individual freedom, so much security
Of life, Of person and property, and withal the
inestimabls Door Of worshiping God accord
ing to the dictates of conscience.
Besides this general cause for Thanksgiving,
wehave in the experience of the past year es-
pecial reason to remember our Obligations to
that Being who presides over the destiny of
States. While the world has been convulsed
with wars, and the rumors Of wars have so
generally prevailed, we have enjoyed unlnter-
rupted peace; while restitution and to some
extent famine, has desolated other lands, plen-
~ has smiled upon US, and our graneries are
now ovefowing with harvest of unpreciden-
ted abundance; and while other parts Of our
own country have been visited by a. financial
disaster, which has Frustrated credit, conf.
dsnce and industry, and brought pecuniary dis
tress and ruin upon thousands a. every class,
we have been measurably exempt, and may
hope to ride out the storm in comparative safe
~. A good degree Of health, besides, has
prevailed throughout our borders.
II 70 fitting then that we should be grateful !
md in view Of health, prosperity and plenty,
that we should render thanks to that Being
Who has bestowed all these things upon us;
lhskve should rejoice Is peope, and as .
people give praise to Him to whom praise is
due. The custom Of Thanksgiving, is, hence. a
beautiful and appropriate one. The season is
sting. The business Of the year i msasur-
ably over, the harvest y gsthsrsd in, there -
