In obedience to an honored Gus
tom of the State, and conforming to
the recent proclamatin of the Pres
ident of the United States, |, Jacob

WEST VIRGINIA FREEMAN.
Thanksgiving Proclamation.
BY the President of dhe United
States of America
A PRoCLAMATIAS.

A PRocLAMATIAN.
1t has long been the pieus custom
of our people with thai elosing of
the year to look back upon the
blessings brought to them in the
changing course of the seasons, and
to return solemn thanksto the All
giving source from whom they flow.
And, although at this period when
the falling leaf admonishes us that
the time of our sacred duty is at
hand, our Nation still lies in the
shadow of a great bereavement, and
the mourning which has filled our
hearts still finds us sorrowful in ex-
preston toward the God before
whom we but lately bowed in grief
and supplication; yet the countless
benefits which have showered upon
us during the past twelve months
call for our fervent gratitude, and
make it fitting that we should re-
joice with thankfulness that the
Lord in His infinite mercy has most
signally favored our country and
our people. Peace without and
prosperity within have been vouch-
safed us. opestilence has visited
our shores; the abundant privileges
of freedom which our fathers left us
in their wisdom are still onr increas-
ing heritage; and if in parts of our
vast domain some affection has
visited our brethren in our forest
homes, yet even this calamity has
been tempered, and in a manner
sanctifed by the generous compass
sion for sufferers which has been
called forth throughout the land.
For all these things it is meet
that the voice Of tlTesN 3tlJn should
90 up to God in devout homage.
Wherefore, |, Chester A. Arthur,
President of the United States, dc
recommend that all the people OBJ
serve Thursday, the Oath day Of No
vember, instant, as day of Nation
al thanksgiving and prayer, by
ceasing, so far as may be, from their
secular labors, and meeting in THEN
several places Of worship, there to
join in ascribing honor and praise
to Almighty God, whose goodness
has been so manifest in our history
and in our lives, and offering ear
nest prayers that his bounties may
continue to us and to our children.
In witness whereof | have here
unto set my hand and caused the
seal of the United States to be af-
fixed.
Done at the city of Washington
this fourth day of November, in the
year of our Lord one thousand eight
hundred and eighty one, and Of the
independence Of the United States
the one hundred and sixth.
