THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION.
By the Governor.
 State of Arizona,
Executive Departme

Executive Department.
 Since the citizens of Arizona last gave thanks in unison to the Greater for a bountifu harvest and other blessings mercifulIy bestowed, the cycle Of year has neared completion bringing to evry state and nation it's burden of disaster, or rightful gift of plenty; to every human heart it's share of gladness or of sorrow, it's allotted portion of ecstasy or pain. Withstand ing every manace of civil and eXter- nal nature. Arizona, with relatively ideal government, in which both men and women, with equal enfranchise- ment and responsibility, cooperate for the general good, has passed trium- plant each separate crisis, While pre- serving peace and it's attendant pros perity; and garnering from every course of plenty the wealth that Nature mad to give. has used these natural treasures with judicious liberaIity; has | iionored toil with it's just return, and has rewarded thrift with the satisfac- non of temporal needs, industry with it's increment, and the pursuit of hap piness with the object of it's quest.
 It is fitting, therefore, that Arizona's citizens should feel grateful to the
 
 for the prosperity and peace that has Leen accorded the commonwealth in which they live and labor Nor should the harvest season be regarded only as q period when thanks are rendered for blessings previously conferred, but should rather be. also time for enter ing upon new resolve to so manifest our gratitude for material advantages divinely bestowed as to exemplify the principle of thrift so worthily extolIed as a human virtue in the familiar adage, Saving goes before security, happiness and good citizenship"
 Now therefore, in recognition of the many benefits conferred by an allwise Providence. in conformity with long established custom and pursuant to the proclamation of the President of the United States. I. Geo. w. P Hunt. gov crnor of Arizona, do hereby designate Thursday, November Twenty seventh. as Thanksgiving Day and I earnestly recommend that, on the day thus set apart. all who acknowledge allegiance to our state shall do that which lies within their power to ameliorate the hard conditions of those who are heav- fly burdened. to invoke on the suffer- ing and the poor the wise beneficence ot a kindly Deity; to extend charity and helpful sympathy to those of our fclloWmcn upon whom bitter circum- stance has laid a heavy hand: to commemorate at altar and at fireside with appropriate ceremonies and fes- tiVities that spirit of our forefathers which found sincere expression in the celebration of the first Thanksgiving on New England's rugged shore in 1921. to the end that all shall be mindful of , the benevolence and omnipresent love of our Supreme Being
 IN WITNESS WHEREOF. have horeunto set my hand and caused the great seal of the state of Arizona to he affixed

malicious design to tempt Him. but at
once answered the lawyer with ques-
ton. what is written in the law, how
readest thou?"
the Master turns to catechise him and to
make him know himself. He treated him
as a lawyer, as one acquainted with the
law. and babe him practice according to
his knowledge.
The lawyer answered discreetly and
wisely that the divine law commanded
Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with
all thy heart, and with all thy soul. and
with all thy strength, and with all thy
mind; and thy neighbor as myself.
And the Master said unto him, Thou
hast answered right; do this and thou
shalt live; live forever-have eternal
life"
They were not speaking of the earthly
life. and when the Master said Thou
shalt live he meant eternally
The lawyer is still in doubt as to one
point. or appears to be, In order to
justify himself, and asks. Who is my
neighbour"
The Pharisees had wrong notions about
who were to be regarded as their neigh
bors. They did not understand that the
Gentiles were included in the command
Love thy neighbor as myself"
The Master, to correct this erroneous
idea. answered the lawyers question by
parable representing poor Jew in dis
tressed circumstances being succored and
rel. eyed by good Samaritan. The priest
and the Levite saw the man on the road
side who had been robbed and wounded,
but they passed by on the other side.
The good Samaritan when he saw him
mad compassion upon him and bound up
MS wounds and brought him to an inn,
and took care of him.
which of these three" asked the Law
giver of the lawyer, 'thinkest thou was
neighbor to him that fell among theves?"
And he said he that Showed mercy on
him.
Then. said Jesus unto him, go and
do thou likewise
! The answer to the great question was
extorted from the lawyers own mouth
What shall l do TO inherit eternal
life?"
Love God supremely, and all thy fell
low-men. with a true, Jealous and con-
slant love. Love is the fulfilling of the
law" and whatsoever fulfills the divine
and death and shall live forever. Love
is immortal and they in whom the divine
spirit of love for God and man dwells can
never die.
For God so loved the world that he
gave His only begotten Son. that whose

July Is. 1853, to April, 1905. this tablet

1t also contains, in Japanese, the date

Bishop Williams. native of Rich
mond. was pioneer missionary in the
orient the founder Of the Christian
Church in Japan. the first Bishep of
Japan and the second Bishop of China.
He died in Richmond December =,
1910. having retired from active SER
vice two years previous on account OF
failing health.
Making the celebrated voyage of
entry with Commodore Perry in 1855
to the far east, he remained behind
in the newly opened Shanghai when
the American feet sailed for home.
After short stay in China he went
across to Japan, where he was to spend
the best years of his life In founding
and nourshing the Christian Church.
II is said that he labored for seven
years in Japan before making his first
convert.
In 1857 he was recalled to America
and consecrated Bishop of China and
Japan. but a short while later he was
relieved of the Chinese diocese at his
own request. Upon his retirement in
1908. after fifty-five years of mission
airy labor, the diocese of Japan was
divided into two bishoprics and the
mantle of Bishop Williams divided be-
tween Bishop McKim and Bishop ucker.
BY the Episcopal Church Bishop Will
liams was regarded as the leader of
the missionary movement. and his
memory has been all but canonized by
the people of Japan. With other
things he translated the prayer booi
and the Bible into Japanese.
Three namesakes OF Bishop Williams
live in Richmond but all were out Of the
city and unable to attend the exercises.
They are Charming Williams Daniel,

Reports for this year show much real
progress in Japan. After a period OF
somewhat slow growth. doors are OPEN

to be at hand. One missionary writes
that Japan has outstripped Korea.
