The 18th Of Novem Der the Day
Appoin ted,

Another year of labor and reward
of toll, and triumph. of health, of
prosperity Of fruitful fields and of
generous harvests, approaches ter
mination. During it's continuance
pestilence has not been among us,
nor has famine visited the land. The
nation, recovering from the lacera-
ton of War, gives promise of vigor
more healthful than she has yet en-
joyed. The burden of public debt
decreases, q new channel OF trade
crossing our State connects the oceans
which wash the continent, and all
around us are evidences of the bound.
less goodness of our God. For these
manifestations of His benevolence
let us praise Him and magnify His
holy name.
Therefore, following a mem"ra-
BILE and praiseworthy custom, and In
accordance with the recommendation
of the president of the United States,
7 de- hereby appoint Thursday, the
18th day Of November, to be observed
throughout the State as day OF
thanksgiving. prayer and praise
and do earnestly invite all The peo'
pie of the State, Of every name anu
faith to abstain form their ordinary
avocations on that day, aud assemoi'
ing in public worship and IN 'he''
homes, to unite I'm offering &c 'he
Great Author Of our being thanks
and alteration for His goodness TO-
wards US, and in invoking continu-
ance of His gracious favors, beseech-
ing Him that he will still bless us
with abundance and prosperity, and
our nation with unity and peace ;
that he will so direct all our hearts
that we NAV seek Him and know
Him. and thus be led Unto every
good word and work :" that vice and
crime may be banishea from among
us, and that the hearts Of our people
may thus attain that exaltation
which righteousness brings to n peo-
Pile.
In testimony whereof have here
unto set my hand, and caused to be
affixed the great seal of the State OF
Iowa. Done al Des Moines this 30th
