We Heap What We Sow
Governor Scott on Friday proclaimed Thursday, Nov. 24, at
, Thanksgiving Day. The proclamation, which is printed below,
defines the spirit of thankfulness, humility, and faith which has
been the bulwark of America ? and can continue to be the fort
ress which will fend off political, social and economic evil threat
ening our nation. But. this will come to pass only if each of us
realizes that we, individually, are an entity representing the
land and community in which we live. Our deeds and thoughts
en masse ? that is America.
The Governor's proclamation:
"Thursday. November 24th, is hereby proclaimed as a doy of
reverent thanksgiving for North Carolinaians of all faiths and
creeds.
"Let us be humble before our Maker while we count the
bountiful blessings which ho has bestowed upon us.
"Our harvest has been abundant. Already throughout the
autumn season, many church and community groups have mani
fested their gratefulness by harvest day festivals. The county
and State fairs have exhibited the best of our produce and stock.
We are justly proud of the results ri all our labors. However,
let us not forget that only by the providence of God is material
wealth nnssihlp
"We arc blessed by numerous other gilts more precious than
economic prosperity. Here in America we are enjoying the gift
of which the angels sang the nigbt of our Savior's birth, 'peace
on earth, good will to men.' We are inspired to promote under
standing and better human relations among our neighbors and
all people that some day such a gift may come to the entire world.
"We realize that ours is a land of opportunity as we compare
the advantages, comforts, and privileges of our time with the hard
ships of our pioneering ancestors who observed the first thanks
giving proclaimed not too many years ago by Governor Bradford
of Massachusetts. The spirit of these few settlers with their
Indian friends is an American heritage to be cherished.
"The Lord blesses those who jise talents to advantage. He
expects us to be mindful, diligent, and industrious in applying
skills and knowledge, lie has placcd in our care valuable re
sources to be used for the common good and to the glory of God.
We North Carolinians pray for this guidance as we endeavor to
use the benefits of His bounty in this State for the fulfillment
of His great purpose the good life for each and every one.
"May we instill in our children and our children's children
love and appreciation tor the Lord and deep gratitude for this
goodness toward us."
Thoughts for an open mind,..
Some things are lost by external cause, but if you part with honor,
decency, gentleness, you lose these hy your own fault.
It is not poverty that causes sorrow, but covetous desires, nor do
riches deliver you from fear, but reasoning. Neither desire
riches, or complain of poverty.
When that which the microscope fails t(*see is regarded as non
existent then I think the microscope begins to play a mischie
vous part.
