Recognizing the well-ostablished GUS
tom of our fo%refathers, in setting apart q
day at the end of each year for thanks
giving and praise, and realizing that the
people of this territory have been sio-
nally blessed with a bounteous harvest.
that no death dealing pestilence or fury
OF the elements has devastated any nor

Now, therefore, 1. Nehemiah G. Ord

with the recommendation of the presi-
dent ofthe United States, do recommend
that Thursday, the 29th day of Noyem-

AS a.tOken of thankfuiness, I further
recommend tibet the people abstain

cations on that day, and that they az
semble at their several places Of wor.
ship, and enter devout supplication to
Almighty God for a continuance of his
gracious favor and protecting care. Let
every church be opened. and the hand
Of those who prospered be extended
With thank offerings to the needy.
