A PROCLAMATION
1t has long been our custom to turn
in the autumn of the year in praise
and thanksgiving TO Almighty God
Tor His many blessings and mercies
to US as nation. This year we have
special and moving cause to be CRATE
ful and to rejoice
God has in His good pleasure given
us peace. 1t has not come as a nero
cessation of arms, mere relief from
the strain and tragedy of war. 1t has
come as a great triumph of right.
Complete victory has brought us not
peace alone, but the confident prom
Use of new day as well. in which
justice shall replace force and jealous
intrigue among the nations. Our gal
liant armies have participated in a
triumph which is not marred or
stained by another purpose Of selfish
aggression. In a righteous cause
they have won immortal glory and
have nobly served their nation in
serving mankind.
God has indeed been gracious. We
have cause for such rejoicing as re-
wives and strengthens in us all the
best traditions Of our national history
A new day shines about us, in which
our hearts take new courage and look
forward with new hope to new and
greater duties.
While we render thanks for these
things, let us not forget to seek the
divine guidance in the performance
of those duties, and divine mercy and
forgiveness for all errors Of act or
purpose. and pray that in all that we
do we shall strengthen the ties of
friendship and mutual respect upon
which we must assist to build the
new structure Of peace and good will
among the nations.
Wherefore, |, Woodrow Wilson,
President of the United States Of
America, do hereby designate Thurs
day, the twenty-eighth day of Novem-
ber next. as a day of Thanksgiving
and prayer, and invite the people
throughout the land to cease upon
that day from their ordinary occupa
tions and in their several homes and
places of worship to render thanks to
God, the ruler OF nations.
In witness whereof, have hereunto
set my hand and caused the seal OF
the United States to be affixed.
Done in the District of Colum bia
this sixteenth day of November, in
the year Of our Lord one thousand
nine hundred and eighteen. and Of
the independence Of the United States
of America, the one hundred and
forty-third. WOODROW WILSON.
