A Proclamation
lly The Governor
State of North Caroliua:
One hundred and fifty years ago;
George Washington, the first pres
ident of the United States, issued1
his first Thanksgiving proclama
tion, at the request of the first]
United Congress (Turing the first
year under a constitutional gov-|
ernment, and designated the last
Thursday in November as the day,
which happened to fall on the
26th in that year. The preamble
sets forth that "it is the duty ofj
all nations to acknowledge the
providence of Almighty God, to
obey bis will, to be grateful for
his benefits, and humbly to im
plore his protection and favor."
In the body of the proclama
tion, after recounting the bless
ings for which the people should
return thanks, President Wash
ington further states the purpose
of the day, "that we may then
unite in most humbly offering our
prayers and supplications to the
great Lord and Ruler of nations
and beseech him to pardon our
national and other transgressions;
to enable us all, whether in pub
lic or private stations to perform
our several and relative duties
properly and punctually; to ren
der our national government a
blessing to all th? people by con
stantly being a government of
wise, just,' and constitutional laws
discreetly and faithfully executed
and obeyed; to protect and guide
all sovereigns and nations (espec
ially such as have shown kindnees
unto us), and to bless them with
good government, peace, and con
cord; to promote the knowledge
and practice of true rellgin and
virtue, and the increase of science
among tbem and us, and general
ly to grant unto all mankind such
a degree of temporal prosperity
as he alone knows to be best."
In the spirit of Washington and
our first national Thanksgiving, I
proclaim the traditional last
Thursday of the month, Novem
ber 30th, 1939, as a legal holiday
in North Carolina and a
? DAY OF GENERAL
THANKSGIVING
upon the part of all the people.
It is fitting and proper that we
assemble in our several places ol
worship on this dedicated day to
renew our allegiance to the Ideals
of the republic, to reconsecrate
ourselves to the causes of popu
lar government, to acknowledge
afresh our dependence upon God,
to rekindle our faith in the ever
lasting spiritual values, to har
ken to the high call of duty in
loyal and patriotic service, to
thank a Supreme Ruler for state
unity and national peace, to pruy
for peace universal and for >m
end to war and bloodshed all over
the good earth.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, 1
CLYDE R. HOEY, Governor of
North Carolina, have signed and
caused the Great Seal to be af
fixed hereto, in our City of Ral
eigh, this Seventh day of No
vember, In the year of our
Lord one thousand and nine
hundred and thirty-nine and in
the one hundred and sixty
fourth year of our American
Independence.
CLYDE R. HOEY,
