THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION.

The president today issued his procla-
nation naming Thursday, November
90, next, as q day for Thanksgiving.
The proclamation follows:
When, nearly three centuries ago,
the first settlers came to the country
which has now become this great Re-
public, they fronted not only hardship
and privation, but terrible risk to their
lives. In those grim years the custom
grew of setting apart one day in each
year for special service of thanks
giving to the Almighty for preserving
the people through the changing
scasons. Tie custom has now become
national and fallowed by immemorial
usage. We live in easier and more
plentiful times than our forefathers,
Tie men who with rugged strength
faced the rugged days: and yet the
dangers to national fife are quite as
great now as at any sprcvious time in
our history. 1t it emiucntly fitting
that once each year our people should
set apart a day for praise and thanks
giving 10 the Giver OF good, and, at
the same time that they express their
thanSfulncss for the abundant mercies
received, SHOULD inanfully ac-
knowledge their shortcomings and
faith to strive TO overcome them.
During the past year we have been
. blessed with bountiful crops. Our
business prosperity has been great.
Nc other people has ever stood
on as high level Of material well
being as ours now stand, We are not
threatened by foes from without.
The foes from whom we should pray
TO be delivered are ours passions, ap-
petites and folles and against these
Is always need that we should war.
Therefore, now set apart Thursday
the 30th day of this November, as a
day of thanksgiving for the past and
OF prayer for the future, and on that
day l ask that throughout the land
people gather i'm their homes and
places of worship and in rendering
thanks unto the Most High of the
manifold blessings OF the past year,
eonsecrate themselves to life of
cleanliness, honor and wisdom, SO that
this nation may do its allotted work
ON the earth in a manner worthy of
those who founded it and of those who
preserved it.
In witness whereof, ! have hereunto
set my hand and and caused the seal
of the United States to be affixed.
Done at the city of Washington,
this 2nd day Of November, in the year
of our Lord one thousand nine hun
dred and five and of the independence
of the United States the one hundred
md thirtieth.
