THE THANKSGIVING
PROCLAMATION.
President Wilson, has designated
Thursday November 26th as Thanks-
giving day.
The President’s proclamation,
which refers to the fact that the
United States is at peace while the
rest of the world is at war, follows:
“It has been long the honored cus-
tom of our people to turn in the
fruittul autumn of the year in praise
and thanksgiving to Almighty God
for his many blessings and mercies
to us as a nation. The year that is
now drawing to a close since we last
observed our day of national thanks-
giving has been while a year of dis-
cipline because of the mighty forces
of war and of change which have
disturbed the world, also a year of
special blessing for us.”’
It has been vouchsafed to us to re-
man at peace, with honor, and in
some part to fuccor the suffering
and supply the needs of those who
are in want... We have been privileg-
ed by our own peace and self-control
in some degree to steady the coun-
sels and shape the hopes and pur-
poses of a day of fear and distresrs.
Our people have looked upon their
own life a8 a nation with a deeper
comprehension, a fuller realization
of their responsibilities as well as of
their blessings and a keener sense
of the moral and practical signifi
cance of what their part among the
nations of the world may home to be.
The hurtful effects of foreign war
In thelr own industrial and commer-
cial affairs have made them fael the
more fully and see the more clearly
their mutual interdependence upon
one another and has stirred them to
a helpful co-operation such as they
have seldom practiced before. They
have been quickened by a great mor-
al stimulation. Their unmistakable
ardor for peace, their earnest pity
and disinterested sympathy for those
who are suffering their readiness to
help and to think of the need of oth-
ers, has revealed them to themselves
as well as to the world. >
Our crops will feed all who need
food; the self-possession of our peo-
ple amid the most serious anxieties
and difficulties and the steadiness and
resourcefulness of our business men
will serye other nations as well as
our own.
The business of the country has
been supplied with new instrumen-
talities and the commerce of the
world with new channels of trade and
intercourse. The Panama canal has
been opened to the commerce of
the nations. The two continents of
America have been bound in closer
ties of friendship, New instrumen-
talities of acquairtance, intercourse
and mutual service. Neyer before
have the people of the United States
been so situated for their own ad-
vantage or their neighbors or so
equipped to serve themselves and
mankind. 3
Now, therefore. I, Woodrow Wil-
son, president of the United States
of America do hereby designate
Thursday the twenty-sixth of No-
yember next as a day of thanksgiy-
ing and prayer and invite the peonrlg
throughout the land to cease from
their wonted occupations and in their
several homes and places of worship
render thanks to Almighty God.
In witness whereof, I have here-
unto set my hand and caused the
seal of the United States to be affixed
Done at the city of Washington,
this twenty-eighth day of October
in the year of our Lord one thousand
nine hundred and fourteen and of
the Independence of the TUuited
States of America the one hundred
and thirty-ninth.
