THANKSGIVING DAY
A Proclmajfti by the Governor
Our forefsthK established the beautiful
custom of setting apart one day near the end
of the harvest time to return thanks to Almighty
God (or the blessing· of life. '
la this god year, 1919. how uuch have we
for which to be grateful !
Our soldiers who on last Thanksgiving Day
were far away «η foreign lands have mfcly
crossed the seas, and are at home again in
peace
The Lord of the Harvest has been good to us.
Our fields have yielded bountifully. Our in
dustries have thrived wonderfully. Prosperty
smiles on farm and factory, bank and store. In
every line of business endeavor we are prosper
ing beyond the fondest dreams of our fathers.
There has been elso a mighty triumph of
spiritual forces in our midst, for which we
should be profoundly grateful. The fruits of
this victory are seen in the great forwsrd move
ments of all tha churches ; in the finer education
al advantages enJoyed by all the children of
tho State; in the growing demand for complete
economic and social justice in taxation and all
other matters; and in the larger opportunities
offered on every hand to the average man and
the average woman.
Surely in this day God has given to men every
where a bigger, broader conception of Chris
tian service than they evsr had before. ;
North Carolina is singularly blessed in that
in this time of turmoil she is almost entirely
free from industrial and racial bitterness and
strife. We should be deeply thankful for the
spirit of friendship and good will that prevails
among us. Let us pray for absolute justice
for all, by which alone this spirit may be
strengthened and maintained.
NOW. THEREFORE, I, Thomas Walter
Bickett, Governor of North Carolina, in obedi
ence to the custom established by our fathers
and in accordance with the proclamation of the
President of the United States, do hereby proc
laim Thursday, Noveanber 27th, a day of public J
Thanksgiving. <
Let this be a day of rest snd rejoicing, observ
ed by everybody- Let us not forget the orphan, 1
the poor and the unfortunate. I earnestly trust J
that all the people will assemble in their places
of worship and make this a real Thanksgiving !
