APPOINTING A DAY FOR PUBLIC WORSHIP.

States should, from time to time, assemble to ac-
knowledge their dependence on Almighty God, to
render devou thanks for His manifold blessings, to
worship His Holy rame, TO bend i'll prayer at His
foot>tool and to accept with reverent submission the
Christening of His All-wise and An-mercful Provi-
denCe
Let US, then, in temples and in fields, unite our
voices in recognizing, with adoring gratitude, the
manifestations of His protecting care IN the many
signal victories with which arms have been
crowned, in the fruitfulnes5 with which our land
has been blessed, and III the unimpared energy and
fortitudc with which He has inspired hearts and
strengthened our arms in resistance to the iniqu-
tous designs of enemies.
And let US not forget that while graciouSly youch
safing to us His protection, our sins have merltcd
and received grievous chastisemcnt; that many OF
our best and brivcst have fallen in battle; that
many others are still held in foreign prisons; that
large districts of country have been devastated
with savage ferocty-ihe peaceful homes destroyed
and helpless women and children driven away in
restitution; and that with fendish malignity the
passions Of ?e.Nile race have been excited by our
foes into the commission of atrocities from which
death is q welcome escape.
Now, therefore, l, JEFFERSON DAVIS, President of
the Confederate States of America do issue this my
proclamation, setting apart WEDNESDAY, the
sixteenth day Of November next, as day TO be
specially devoted to the worship of Almighty God !;
and do invite and invoke all the people of these
Confederate States to assemble on the day afore-
said, in their respective places of public worship
there to unite i'll prayer to our Heavenly Father,
that He bestow His favor upon us; that He extend
Us the protection of His almighty arm; that
He sanctify His chastisement to our improvement,
that we may turn away from evil paths and
walk righteousy in His sight; that lie restore
peace to our beloved country, healing its bleeding
wounds, and securing TO us the continued ENJOY
ment of our night OF sclf-go:ernnent and indie
penlcnce; and that He graciously heaiken to us,
while ascribe to Him the power and glory Of our
deliverance.
