IN the providence of God :
We have In the United States =

They are exactly six months =

This Is our national sacrament 4

the sunerings of the brave men .

He hath not dealt SO with any
nation Is one of the songs of Israel.
IL ought to be daily song by all
true Americans. Each year we have
a larger opportunity to influence the
life of the world. Each year we
have better opportunity to work
out our destiny. We are to provide
an asylum for the oppressed of ev-
cry land who crave the FIRE .dom to
90 right. 1t is not our business to
provide an asylum for those who
crave TO do wrong. We need fre-
quently to remind ourselves that 1t
Is the business Of the nation to create
men and women of fine moral fiber.
I'VE in Colorado have abundant
occasion for thanksgiving. Our peo-
pie have been blessed with every ma
terial comfort. We have had a year
of peace and prosperity. Possibly
some other states may have known
equal prosperity. Certainly no 9TH
er community In the world has en-
1oyed q more general or a more sub
stahtial prosperity. Another and
higher reason for thanksgiving is
found In our growing appreciation
of the life Of the spirit. Our church.
es and our schools are growing In
a great way. Everyone who knows
history can see that the permaneLcy
of the life of the state is possible
only as we have a wholesome and
strong development in the life of the
churches and the schools. 1t would
be calamity, indeed, If we devel-
oped our material resources at the
expense of the higher life of the spir-
1t. Everywhere in Colorado this
growth of more spirit can be seen.
"'Who Ia wise and will observe
these things even they shall under
stand the loving kindness of the
Lord!'
Nov. therefore, 1, Henry A. Buch-
tel, governor of the state of Colora-
do, by virtue Of the authority vested
in me by law and In accordance with
the proclamation of Theodore Roose-
welt, president of the United States
of America, designating Thursday.
November 2S, 1907, as a day of
Thanksgiving, do most ear estly urge
all the people of Colorado to observe
services both in their homes and In
their churches, and do most earnest
ly urge that all the people shall take
some time on that day to show kind
ness to others both in words and
deeds. All ministers and teachers
are reminded that 1t Is upon only
line upon line and precept upon pre-
cept' that we can make our people
see clearly that Righteousness exalt-
eth the nation. but sin Is reproach
to every people. Let everyone make
the prayer of the Psalmist, Search
me, o God. and know my heart. try
me and know my thoughts. and see
II there be any wickedness within
me. Lead me in the way everlast-
ing
'.In witness whereof. I have here
unto set my hand and caused the
great seal OF the state to be affixed
at the state capitol this End day of
November, 1907.
HENRY A. BUCHTEL.
Governor"
