During another year Colorado has
received full share of the blessings of
Almighty God.
"'He watereth the hills from his
chambers: the earth Is satisfied with
the fruit of thy works. He causeth the
grass to grow for the cattle. and herb
for the service of man; that he may
bring forth fruit ont of the earth
1T has been a year OF progress. not
alone in material matters, but in those
things which soften the harsher things
of life, making 1t easier for those who
carry burdens. spreading the spirit of
love broadcast among the people and
uplifting the citizenship of the state.
Abundant harvests have been the
reward of our farmers; our merchants
have prospered. our mines have pro
duced their wealth. All lines of in
dustry and trade have shared in the
general prosperous condition of the
state. Capital and labor have been
busily and profitably employed in le-
climate pursuits.
"As We stop moment from the
busy whirl of life TO contemplate the
blessings that have been ours. we can
find no more fitting expression than
that of the Psalmist when he ex-
claimed. oh. that men would praise
the Lord for his goodness. and for his
wonderful works to the children of
men
Now. therefore, l. Jesse F. Melon
aid, governor of the state of Colorado,
pursuant to the power and authority
vested in me by law. and in accord
ance with the proclamation of the Pres
ident OF the United States. designating
Thursday. November 30. 1906. as day
of Thanksgiving. do urge that the peo-
pie OF Colorado. in their homes and
churches, render thanks to God for his
bounteous blessings Of the past. and to
request continuance of his divine
fayors. Let us emulate the Master by
deeds of kindness and acts of mercy
and love.
1T witness whereof, ! have here
unto set my hand and caused the great
seal of state to be affixed at Denver,
the state capital. this 9Th day of No
