PROCLAMATION
STATE OF DELAWARE,

AS the year is approaching Its close, 1t Is
highly proper that we should devoutiy
express our gratitude and thanks to Al
mighty God, the author of all good, Tor
the manifold blessings which he mas 30
graciousiy bestowed upon us as people.
The abundant crops with which the
laborer has been rewarded; the preserva-
tioh of peace within our borders; the
gradual revival of prosperity In all the
departments of industry and trade, and
the exemption of our homes from tne
pestilence that walketh in darkness" are
but the manifestations of the goodness
and mercy of God.
In the midst of these blessings-health
peace and plenty-we should earnestly en-
deavor 10 avoid the sins of pride and SELF
reliance, and to cultivate a spirit OF meek
ness as one of the fundamental conditions
of continued prosperity and happiness.
Therefore, l, JOHN w. HALL, Governor
of the State of Delaware, recognizing our
| entire dependence upon the Supreme HUI

cupations on that day, and to repair to

der thanks to God for past blessings, and
to invoke His guidance and protection In
the future.
| In testimony whereof 1 have
