WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 4.-The
President yesterday afternoon issued
the following Thanksgiving Day pro-
clamation:
By the President of the United States of
america, a Proclamation
While the American people every
day remember with praise and thanks
giving the Divine goodness and mer
cy which have followed them since
their beginning as a nation, it is fit
ting that one day in each year should
be especially devoted to the contem-
plation of the blessings we have re-
ceived from the hand Of God and to
the grateful acknowledgment of His
loving kindness.
Therefore /, Grover Cleveland,
President of the United States, do
hereby designate and setapart Thurs
day, the Both day of the present
month Of November, as a day Of
thanksgiving and praise to be kept
and observed by all the people of our
land. On that day let US forego our
ordinary work and employments and
assemble in our usual places of wor-
ship, where we may recall all that
God has done for US and where from
grateful hearts our united tribute of
praise and song may reach the Throne
of Grace. Let the reunion of kim
dred and the social meeting of friends
lend cheer and enjoyment to the day,
and let generous gifts of charity for
the relief of the poor and needy
prove the sincerity of our thanksgiv-
ing.
Witness my hand and the seal of
the United States, which / have caus-
ed to be hereto affixed.
Done at the city of Washington
on the third day of November, in the
year of our Lord eighteen hundred
and ninety-three, and of the indie
pendence of the United States the
one hundred and eighteenth.
