Thursday, November 30th is
the Day Set Apart ,
THE PROCLAMATION ISSUED
Reciting the Origin of the ' Custom
Among the Early Settlers, the Pres.
ident Asks That The People Ob
serve the Day by Thanksgiving Fori '
the Past and Prayer for the Pn-
ture. ; ' "V ;.vT-- " : ' ;. ... V"."
Washington, Special. --The Presi
dent has issued his . proclamation
naming Thursday, "November 30th
next as a day for thanksgiving. The
proclamation follows : .'
By the President of the nitcd States
of Vmerica, a Proclamation. '
When, nearly three centuries ago,
the first settlers came to the countrv
which has now become this great re
public, they fronted not only hard-
snips but terrible risk to their lives. In
those grim years the custom grew of
setting apart one day in each year
for a special service of thanksgiving
to the Almighty for preserving the
people through the changing seasons.
The custom has now become national
and hallowed by immemorial usasre.
We live in " easier and more pienti-
im limes man our -ioretathers. the
men who with rugged strength faced
the -rugged days ; and yet the dan
gers to national life are quite as great
now as at any previous time in our
history. It is eminently fitting that
once a year our people should set
apart a day for praise and thanks
giving to the Giver of good, and, at
the same time, that "they express
their thankfulness for the abundant
mercies- received, should manfidlv
acknowledge their shortcomings' and,
pledge themselves solemnly and in
good faith to strive to overcome them.
During the past year we have Jaeen
blessed with, bountiful crops. Our
business prosperity - has been , great J
No other people has ever stood on as
high -a level of material well-being as
ours now stands. We are not threat
ened by foes from without . The foes
from whom we should pray to be de-
livered are our own passions, ap
petites and follies: and against these
there is always need that we should
"war. ; '. ... : ; . . :
Therefore, I now set apart Thurs
day, the 30th day of this November,
as a Day of Thanksgiving for the
past and of prayer for the future,
and on that day I ask that through
out the land the people gather in their
homes and places of worship, and in
rendering thanks unto the Most High
for manifold blessings of the past
year, consecrate themselves to : a life
of clenhncss, honor and" wisdom, so
thai this nation may do its 'allotted
wcrk on the earth m a manner
worthy of those who founded it and
of those who preserved it.
InNwitness thereof, L have hereunto
set my hand and caused, the seal of
the United States to.be affixed.
Done at the City of Washington,
this second day of November, in the
year of our Lord one thousand nine
hundred and five, and of the sndepend-
ence of the United States " the one
hundred and thirtieth.
