Thanksgiving Proclamation.
Published Every Wednesday.
“The people of the United States
should never l>e unmindful of the grati
tude they owe to the God of nations lor
his watchful care, which has shielded
them from disaster and pointed out to
them the way of peace and happiness.
Nor should they ever refuse to acknowl
edge with contrite hearts their proneness
to turn awav from God’s teachings and
to follow with sinful pride after their
own devices.
“To the end that these thoughts may l>e
quickened, it is fitting that, on a day es
pecially appointed, we should join to
gether in approaching the throne of
grace with praise and supplication.
“Therefore, I, Grover Cleveland,
president of the United States, do here
by designate and set apart Thursday,
the 26th day of the present month of
November, to be kept and observed as a
day of thanksgiving and prayer through
out our land. On that day let all our
people forego their usual work and oc
cupations and assemble in their accus
tomed places of worship; let them with
one accord render thanks to the Ruler of
the Universe for our preservation as a
nation, and our deliverance from every
threatened danger ; for the peace that
has dwelt within our boundaries ; for our
defence againt disease and pestilence
during the year that has past; for the
filenteous rewards that have followed the
abors of our husbandmen ; and for all
the other blessings that have been
vouchsafed to us.
“And let us through the meditation of
him who has taught us how to pray, im
plore the forgiveness of our sins and a
continuation of heavenly favor.
