A PROCLAMATION
THANKSGIVING DAY : 1850

THANKSGIVING DAY = 1850
in order that we may not trust in ourselves, but in
God. He it is who delivered US from such great perils; and in
Him we have hope to be delivered yet again. Thus. for the
gift bestowed on us at the instance of many persons, thanks
will be given by many on our behalf" Gil Cor, Chap. ], ". 9-1D
In his 1850 Thanksgiving Day Proclamation, the Presi-
dent of the United States has called to our remembrance:
I'm keeping with the custom established by our fore

tions standig firm in uplding the principles of international
justice. Let US pause reverent worship and humbly pray that
God will guide our Nation and the peoples of the world to a
rededieation of free institutions Everywhere. Out of the we'll
spring of our hearts, we give Thee thanks, Q God.
This Thanksgiving finds us again spared-not because of
any worthiness on our part-from the reproving hand of the
Creator. Let us recall that, during the 1850 hurricane season,
winds bearing potential destruction threatened our very
thresholds but, by the mercy of Almighty God, they passed
us by. Out of the ~wellspring of our hearts, we give Thee
thanks, Q God.
This Thanksgiving finds us recognized by higher autho-
rity with having the abiltyyyy to govern ourselves. Let us
humbly and gratefully acknowledge the salutary blessings of
integrity, industry, seriousness Of purpose, and g~oodwill-bes-
towed by Divine Providence. Out of the wellspring Of our
hearts, we give Thee thanks, 0 God.
