A proclamation.
In the beginning of our country
the custom was established by the
devout fathers of observing annually
a day of Thanksgiving for the bounties
and protection which Divine Provi-
dence had extended throughout the
year. 1t has come to be perhaps the
most characteristic of our national
observances, and as the season ap-
proaches for its annual recurrence,
il is fitting formally to direct atten-
ton to this ancient institution of our
people and to call upon them again to
unite in its appropriate celebration.
The year which now approaches its
end has been marked in the experience
of our nation, by a complexity or trials
and tfiumphs, OF difficulties and
achievements, which we must regard
as our inevitable portion in such an
epoch as that through which all man
kind is moving. rs we survey the ex-
perience OF the passing twelve-month
we shall find that our estate presents
very much TO justify nationwide
and most sincere testimony Of graft
tude for the bounty which has been
bestowed upon us. Though we have
lived in the shadow OF the hard con-
sequences of great conflict, our coun-
try has been at peace and has been
able to contribute toward the main
tenance and perpetuation of peace in
the world. We have seen the race OF
mankind make gratifying progress on
the way to permanent peace, toward
order and restored confidence in its
high destiny.
