Gov. Buchtel ON Saturday issued the
annual Thanksgiving proclamation. 1t
Is as follows:
In the province OF God we have In
the United States two national Sabbath
days. They are exactly six months
apart. One of these national Sabbaths
is the Both day Of May. This Is our ma
tional sacrament day when we COM
memorate the sufferers of the brave
men who died that the nation might
live. The other national Sabbath day
comes on the last Thursday OF Novem-
ber 1t Is jubilee day OF the year when
we rejoice with a glad song over all
the amazing mercies OF God.
He hath not dealt SO with any ma
uon,' Is one of the songs OF Israel. II
ought to be a daily song by all true
Americans. Each year we have larger
opportunity to influence the life OF the
world. Each year we have a better OPP
portunity to work out our destiny. We
are to provide an asylum for the op-
pressed OF every land who crave the
freedom to do right II is not our busi-
ness to provide an asylum for those
who crave the freedom to do wrong.
We need frequently to remind our
selves that 1t Is the business of the
nation to create men and women of
fine moral fiber,
I'VE in Colorado have abundant oc-
casion for thanksgiving. Our people
have been blessed with every material
comfort. We have had year of peace
and prosperity Possibly some other
states may have known equal pros
perity. Certainly no other community
In the world has enjoyed a more gen
eral or more substantial prosperity.
Another and higher reason for thanks
giving Is found In our growing appre-
citation OF the life of the spirit Our
churches and our schools are growing
in a great way. Everyone who knows
history can see that the permanency
OF the life OF the state is possible only
us we have a wholesome and strong
development In the life OF the churches
and the schools. Ii would be calam-
ity indeed II We developed our material
resources at the expense of the higher
