the people of tbe United States are wont
to meet in tbeir usual places of worship
on a day of thauksglving appointed by
tbe civil magistrate to return thanks to
God for tbe great mercies aud benefits
which they bave enjoyed.
"During this past year we have been
highly blest. No great calamities or
flood or tempest or epldemlo sickness
have befallen ua. We bave lived in
quietness, undisturbed by wars or ru
mors of wars. Peace and the plenty of
bounteous crops and of great industrial
production animate a cheerful and reso
lute people to all the renewed energies of
beneficent industry and material and
moral progress. It is altogether fitting
tbat we should humbly and gratefully
acknowledge tbe Divine source of these
blessings.

of general thanksgiving, and I call upon
the people on that day, laying aside their
usual vocations, to repair to their church
es and unite In appropriate services of
praise and thanks to Almighty God."
