Our Father in Heaven has, dur

children, with peace within our Dor
ders; bountiful yield from the sod
Of Mother Earth; the preservation Of
our liberties, regulated by law, and
the maintenance of our free public

through all the drifted years of our
national history, we have at this sea-
son set. apart time of Thanksgiving
and prayer, known as Thanksgiving
Day. which comes at the end of the
harvest-home.
1.-The fruitage of spring and sum
mer has been gathered to assure US
against the wants and rigor of win
ter. Thanksgiving Day hallowed by
the memory of our Pilgrim Fathers
sanctified by years of observation
touching every heart with the tender
memories of home and childhood and
the recollections of the loved lost.
1t is the day the wanderer returns
home; when family ties, long broken,
are reunited; when hungry arms arr
filled with loved ones.
Therefore, in obedience to the
custom of our fathers and in grateful
recognition of the watchful kindness
of our Heavenly Father, I do by the
power vested in me proclaim Thurs
day. November 26, 1920, as a day OF
