souls,
By the Governor.

AS the year approaches to its end,
and as we look back to the days that
have gone by and compare our coldi-
ton as a nation with chat of other
countries, our thoughts in grateful
reverence naturally turn to that gra-
ciouS Providence that has SO signally
singled us out among all other peoples
While other countries are still eXper-
iencing the horrors and calamities of
war; we are at peace, while poverty,
want and hunger affhct the Fcitizan5
of Other lands, abundance plenty, and
contentment are ours; the eartn has
yielded with prodigality Of the susie
nance of life; the laboring man finds
reward and compensation for his toll
as no other land offers and has ever
offered, so that the toilers ard the
balance of our citizenry are enabled
to enjoy not only the comforts, but
literally so, the pleasures md luXu-
ries OF lie.
The school room throughout the
land is patronized as never before,
and the work OF prepara.icG Of the
coming citizen of our country, i'll
whose hands wiA rest its future desti-
nies, is being carried on with a zeal
and enthusiasm which offers the
safest guaranty of the parn 9tut! Of
the republic and its institutions. That
our country is viewed and looked upon
by all nations of the world, as it has
been looked upon in the past, namely,
as the land of freedom and l,barality
under the law, as the land of plenty,
Of abundance, of happiness and con-
tentment, seucred to those who live
under its flag by our constitution and
laws, is proven by the fact that NIL
lions upon millions of men and Worlen
are anXiously looking to our ,Hores,
hoping and praying to be admitted to
te enjoyment and blessings that this
republic offers. The Lord Of Nations
certainly has been good to us ard has
most advantageously placed and kept
US in the gerat family of nations; GER
tainly as a Christian people we should
render grateful acknowledgment 70
Almighty God for all these blessings,
and earnestly pray that our country
ma ylong endure, as it now is, and as
has been in the past, for the enjoy
ment of our children and of future
generations.
Followin, therefore, the pious and
Christian example set by our elders,
/, o. A. Larrazolo, Governor Of the
State of New Mexico, do hereby dcs.
