FAST DAY.


In obedience TO the custom which has been
observed by the good people of New England
until IL has become time -honored, and in de-
vout recognition OF our dependence upon the
Supreme Ruler of nations, | do hereby appoint
Friday, the 18th day of April next as a day of
fasting and prayer.
Let us, on that day. abstaining from our sec
ular occupations and assembling In our usual
places of worship. reverently invoke the
blessings of the Almighty God upon the
the political, educational, mott and religious
interests Of our state and nation.
Aha S whIle; Win gratehtn, heasts, we thanh
been vorchsafed to our land. let us remember
that across the Atlantic the great PROVINCES
OF middle and southern Russia are suffering
the horrors of famine and pestllence.
Woll has the prophet, Isaiah, described the
fasts which are acceptable In tue sight of God.
rs not this the fast that have chosen? ls 1t
not to deal thy bread TO the hungry, and that
thou bring tho poor that are cast out to thy
house? When thou see1t the naked that thou
cover HON; and that tn9u hide not thyself
break forth the morning and thine health
shall spring forth speedily; and thy righteous
ness shall 20 before hee; and the Lord shall
guide thee continually. and satisfy thy soul in
drought, aud make fat thy bones and thou
shai be like a watored garden, and like n
spring of water, whose waters fail not"
Verify we are only stewards of Gods boun-
ty, and we can in no more acceptable manner
observe the fast of Isaiah than by joining in
the merciful work of rel ewing the necessities
of this stricken people. In accord with special
prOclamations already issued by the eXecu-
tives of many OF our sister States, | therefore,
earnestly request that OF this day, especially
set apart as u day for good works, organized
action in this behalf be taken in every town
and village in our STATE, and that, in tGeir re-
spective churches and places OF worship the
clergy give prominence to this Christian duty
now resting upon all civilized peoples.

The report of Treasurer Ward shows a
deficit for last year of about $1,000, but the
recent gifts of $1,000 by w j. Van Patten
and "a similar sum from John II. Converse

the floating debt will be wiped out and the
bonded debt stand at $40, 900 A better

found nnd may the time soon come whom
the Si5, 900 debt may bs lifted and the as
sociation be free to do more and better work
