Over a century and a quarter has passed since this country took Its place among the natlofts of the earth, and during that tkae we have had, on the Whole, more to be thankful for than has fallen to the lot of any other people. Generation ? after generation has grown to man hood and passed away. Each has had to bear its peculUr burden, each to face its specioj crisis, ajyl each lias known years of grim trlaT, when the country wph menaced by malicc domes tic or foreigQ levy, when the hand of the Lord was heavy upon It in drouth or pestilence, when in bodily distress and anguish of soul It paid the penalty of folly and a froward heart. "Nevertheless, decade by decade we havo struggled onward and upward; we now abundantly enjoy material * wellbeing, and under the favor of the Most High wo are striving earnestly to achieve moral and spiritual uplifting. The year that hae iust closed had been I ono of peace and of overflowing plenty. For this w.e render heartfelt and, sol emn thanks to the Giver of Good/f and we seek to praise Him not by /jwords only, but by dGeds, by the w$y in which we do our duty to ourselves and to our fellow men. 8 "Now therefore, I, Theodore! Roose velt, President of the United Stmtes, do hereby designate as a day oflgeneral thanksgiving, Thursday, the 27tn of the coming November, and do recommend that throughout the land thqr people cease from their ordinary occupations and in their several hOmes and places ' of worship render tbankH unto Al mighty God for tbo manifold blessings of the past year."
