We have been widely blessed with abundant harvests. We have been spared from pestilence and calamity. Our institutions have served the people. Knowledge has multiplied and our lives are rich with its applications. Education has advanced, the health of our peo ple has increased. We have dwelt in peace with all men. "The measure of passing adversity which has come upon us should deepen the spiritual life of the people, quicken sympathies and spirit of sacrifice for others, and strengthen their courage. "Many of our neighbors are in need from causes beyond their control, and the compassion of the people throughout the na tion should so assure their security over this winter that they, too, may have full cause to participate in this day of gratitude to the Almighty. “Now, therefore, I, Herbert Hoover, president of the United States of America, do hereby designate Thursday, November 26, 1931, as a national day of thanksgiving, and do recommend that our people rest from their daily labors and in their homes and ac customed places of worship give devout thanks for the blessings which a merciful father has bestowed upon us. i “Done at the city of Washington this 3d day of November, in the year of our lord nineteen hundred and thirty-one, and of the independence of the United States of America the one hundred and fifty-six.
