 A Proclamation: ...ora- snr to tshe custom of our people 1t fails on the President to appoint uaS 'i praise and thanksgiving to Goa. ls r,,,rine the last year the Lord has oeai. bountifully with us, giving us peaee s,or,e ana abroad and the chance for our ,rffizan. to work for their welfare ui,- hfndered by war, famine or plague. behooves us not only to reoolce sre% because of what has been given us put ss accant if with a solemn sense of res ronsabiIity. realizing that under Heaven fl rests with us ourselves to show that we are worthy to use alright what mas thus been entrusted to our care.
 Tn no other place and at no other time has the experiment of government or tne people. by the people and for the peopie heen tried on so vast a scale as here m nur own country in the opening years of s,,a fwentieth century. Failure would not only be a dreadful thing for us, but dreadful thing for all mankind because if would mean loss of hope for all who believe in the power and the righteous ness of liberty. Therefore, In thanking God for the mercies extended 70 us Ill the mast we beseech Him that He may not withhold them In the future and seat our hearts may be reused to war steadfastly for good and against all the forces or evil, public and private. We pray Tor strength and light SO that in the coming years we may with cleanliness, fearless ness and wisdom do our allotted work on the earth in such manner as to show that we are not altogether unworthy Of the blessings we have received.
 Now therefore I, Theodore Roosevelt. President of the United States, do hereby Designate as a day of general thanks giving Thursday the 18th of the coming November and do recommend that Throughout the land people cease from their wonted occupations and in their several places of worship render thanks unto Almighty God for His manifold mer- cies.
 Tn witness whereof have hereunto set my hand and caused the Seal of the United States to be affixed.
 Done at the City of Washington this S1st day of October in the year of Our Lord, one thousand nine hundred and three, and of the Independence of the United States the one hundredth and twenty-eighth.
 Theodore Roosevelt.
 By the President:
 John Hay, Secretary of State.
