be 10 receipt OF the checks, to be
distributed among the school dis
tricts 10 proportion to their several

The debt we owe the New Eng

Civilization in such country
carries with it constantly increasing
responsibilities. Problems growing
out OF the enormous increase oil
wealth confronts us as nation, and
that we have a fearless, honest
President is not the least OF reasons
why we should be thankful.
Now, therefore, by virtue of
authority vested in me, l do hereby
designate and set apart Thursday,
November goth, 1906, as day upon
which the people of Michigan, laying
aside their usual avocations, should
assemble 10 their places of worship
and reyerently thank God for His
