' "The season of the year has again arrived when the peo ple of the United States are accustomer to unite in giving thanks to Almighty God for the blessings which He has con ferred upon our country during the twelve months that have passed. A year ago our people poured out their hearts in praise and thanksgiving tha through divine aid the right was victorious and peace had come to the nations which had so courageously strggled in defense of human liberty and jus tice. FRUITS OF ACHIEVEMENT OURS. "Now that the stern past is ended and the fruits of achievement are ours, we look forward with confidence to the dawn of an era where sacrifices of the nations will find recom pense in a world at peace. "But to attain the consummation of the great work to to which the American people devoted their manhood and the vast resources of their country they should, as they give thanks to God, reconsecrate themselves to those principles of right which triumphed through His merciful goodness. Our gratitude can find no more perfect expression than to bulwark with loyalty and patriotism those principles for which the free peoples of the earth fought and died. '"During the past year wo have had much to make us grateful. In spile of the confusion in our economic life result ing from the war. we have prospered. Our harvests have been plentiful, and of our abundance we have been able to render succor 1o less favored nations.Our democracy remains unshak en in a world torn with political and social unrest. Our tradi tional ideals are still our guide in tin1 path of progress and civilization. SPIRIT OF UNSELFISHNESS. "These great blessings vouchsafed to us for which we de voutly give thanks should arouse us to a fuller sense of our duty to ourselves and to mankintl to see to it that nothing we may do shall mar the completeness of the victory which we helped to win. Xo selfish purpose animated us in becoming par ticipants in tint, wo rid war, and with a like spirit of unselfish ness we should strive to air by our example and by our co-operation in realizing the endusing welfare of all peoples and in bringing a world ruled by friendship and good will. "AYherefore T, Woodrow Wilson, President of the United States of America, hereby designate Thursday, the 27th day of November next, for observance as a day of thanksgiving and prayer by my fellow countrymen, inviting them to cease ou that day from their ordinary tasks and to unite in their homes and in ther several places of worship in ascribing praise and thanksgiving to God, the author of all blessings and the master of our destiny. "In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United Stales to be affixed.
