APR0CLA

We are assured in sacred Scripture, that the
most acceptable sacrifice to our Creator is a
:" broken and contritc spirit" Man need not
consult the history of his race to discover the
appropriateness of penitence and humiliation ::
he has but to look seriously into his own heart
and review his own life to appreciate the fitness
of such emotions.
Public humiliation and prayer have been
sanctioned by the practice of our worthy ances-
tors from the earliest history of our Common
wealth.
indifference to their example and with deep
conviction that such an observance becomes de-
pendent and sinful beings, such as we all arc, |
do hereby appoint Friday, the second day of
Aprlnext, to be observed by the good people of
this State, as day of public fasting, humila-
ton and prayer.
On that day earnestly invite the whole peo-
| pie of Vermont to abstain from their usual avo-
cations, and from all mpropcramusements, and
assembling in their various places of religious
worship, humbly and penitently to devote them
selves to the solemn and appropriate duties of
the occasion. Let us unitedly, and with deep
humility, approach the Ruler and Judge of
Heaven and Earth, with the sincere acknowledge
ment and confession of our sins, imploring their
forgiveness through the merits of our Lord and
Savior Jesus Christ
Lotus pray that the Christian Church, in all
its branches, may prosecute with success its d.
vincly appointed Mission that health may pre-
vail throughout the land that the earth in the
coming year may yield u rich harvest: that all
our industrial interests may be relieved from
embarrassment, and that labor in all useful and
honest pursuits may be amply rewarded that
our citizens may take just and sober views of life
and avoid the evils of luxury and extravaganza.
Let us mplorc the favor of Heaven on our
Schools and Colleges, that thcymay be the foun-
tains of useful knowledge, and the nurseries OF
virtue and pure religion. Let us invoke the
smiles and blessings of our Heavenly Father on
every consistent effort to extend the cause Of
freedom, and to break down every form of vice
and oppression.
Let us earnestly pray that Slavery may cease
to vex and rcproach our nation and the world
that every conspiracy against the rights of man
may be brought to utter confusion and defeat.
and that, under Ilisbenefcant guardianship, our
free Institutions may ever increase in stability
and extent.
