THANKSGIVING
PROCLAMATION
ISSUED TODAY
Coolidge Asks People to Praise
God For Being Blessed
Among All Nations

Washington, Oct. 3O.--tR-In a
thanksgiving proclamation today
President Coolidge asked the nation
to make November 25 day of
praise to God for a year in which
the United States had been blessed
among the nations of the EARTH"
The text follows:
"As a nation and as individuals
we have passed another IL months
in the favor of the Almighty. He
has smiled upon our fields and they
have brought forth plentifuls; busi-
ness has prospered; industries have
flourished, and labor has been we'll
employed. While sections of our
country have ben visited by dis
aster, we have been spared any
great national calamity or pestil-
ence visitation. We are blessed
among the nations Of the earth.
"Our moral and spiritual life has
kept measure with our material
prosperity. We are not unmindful
Of the gratitude we owe to God for
his watchful care which has pointed
out to us the ways of peace and
happiness; we should not fail in our
acknowledgment of his divin e
favor which has bestowed upon us
SO many blessings. Neither should
we be forgetful Of those among us
who, through stress of circum-
stances, are less fortunately placed,
but by deeds of charity make our
acknowledgment more acceptable
in his sight.
Wherefore, I, Calvin Coolidge,
president Of the United States DO
hereby set apart Thursday, the 18th
day Of November, next, as y day of
general thanksgiving and prayer and
I recommend that on that day the
people shall cease from their daily
work and in their homes or in their
accustomed place Of worship, de-
voutly give thanks to the Almighty
for the many and great blessings
they have received, and seek his
guidance that through good deeds
and brotherly love they may de-
serve Q continuance Of his favor" !"
