A Proclamation.
Thanksgiving Day.

THE President of the United States
having designated Thursday, the
thirtieth day of November as a day of
national thanksgiving, supplication and
devotion, |, HENRY H. HOUGH, Gov
ernor of the Virgin Islands of the United
States of America, do earnestly recon-
mend that the people OF these islands
gather at their family affairs and in their
houses of worship on that day to render
thanks to God for the bounties they have
enjoyed and to petition that these may
be continued and increased in the year
before US.
in the beginning of our country the
custom was established by the d9vout
fathers of observing annually a day of
thanksgiving for tn5 b)ulties and pro
tectioA wnlcn Divine Providence had eX-
tend3l tn~rod3npUc the year and il Is
eninently Iitllng tina the custom should
be perpetuated.
NJ coIntry and no people are without
their trials and trib1lat.on5, NJ country
, 1922-11-22

and no people are without the bounties
and protection of the Divine power, let
US all on this day of Thanksgiving seek
only to remember the latter. Let each
heart be searched, for the benefits and
blessings received at the hands of the
Almighty and for these let US lift up our
hearts in an appropriate expression of
appreciation and gratitude.
The terrors of war have passed US by and
we are living at peace with the world at
large, we have been spared the destruc-
ton due to hurricanes, earthquakes, and
tidal waves, the deya tation due to pesti-
lence, plaques, epidemics and serious
illnesses, we have had neither drought
nor famine, we have been blessed with
the protection of law and order. We are
a God-loving people, religloISly inclined,
living in a spirit of ami y and brotherly
love. Let US therefore celebrate this
day of Thanksgiving as sincerely as did
the originators Of the custom when it
was first established.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF l have here
unto set my hand and caused the seal of
the Government Of the Virgin Islands of
the United States to be affixed.

day of November 1922.
