LET US GIVE THANKS.

o Gov. Hoch has issued proc
0 lamatlon designating Thursday,
o November 2sth, as the day Of
o Thanksgiving. The proclama-
o ton reads:
o 1--WE are approaching the fall
festival reversntly known as
o Thanksgiving Day, when by
o common custom and by execu-
o tive proclamation the minds
0 and hearts of the people are
o directed toward the source
o from whence all our blessings
come. The Worshlpful spirit
0 Is universal. 1t Is inherent In
man. Like the vine In the cell
o lar creeping toward the light,
0 so the human soul reaches up
0 toward God. Among all the ma.
0 tions, and tribes Of earth no
exception has been found to
this great truth. In civilized
lands the greatest men and I
women have always been be.

the president Of the United
States and the governors Of (
the various commonwealth

ance Of day In November {
when the fields have yielded {
their fruitaee and the harvests
have all been garnered, that
gratitude may find expression {
in prayer and praise and In {

0 gratitude Is not confined to I
o material things for the state ,
