Fast Day Proclamation.

In accordance with venerated Gus
tom Of our fathers, it becomes us at
this season to humble ourselves togeth-
er before Almighty God and confess
with contrite hearts alike our sins and
our dependence.
| therefore designate Friday, the
sixth day of April next, as a day OF
fasting, humiliation and prayer.
Let us on that day lay aside our sec
ular cares, and, in our places of wor-
ship and i'll our homes, with devout
penitence for past transgressions, be-
seech the Lord to turn from us all those
evils we most justly have deserved,
and to continue to us those blessings
of health and plenty, peace and free
dom, which have so long been our pOr-
ton.
Let us with faith ask Him to endOw
our rulers with wisdom and the people
with content; to reward with great
bounty all honest labor; and to bless
and preserve all our religious, educa-
tiOnal and charitable institutions.
