letters asking to be enrolled for guests
on that day. but there are many that
would like to have the honor Of having
guests, but are not In a position to do SO.

of the greatest Thanksgiving by Offering
up prayer to Almighty God for his di-
vine blessing and aid in the success OF
our arms That this great nation might
be of one mind and one thought at the
same hour l suggest an endless chain of
prayer at noon on Thanksgiving day"
