“By the President ot the United States of America:
“A proclamation :
"Tne season of the year has again arrived when the people of the
United States are accustomed to unite in giving thanks to Almighty God
for the blessings which he has conferred upon our country during the
twelve months that have passed A year ago our people poured out
their hearts in praise and thanksgiving that through Divine aid the right
was victorious and peace had come to the nations which had so cour-
ageously struggled in defense of human liberty and Justice Now that
the stern task is ended and the fruits of achievement are oi?rs we look
forward with confidence to the dawn of an era where the sacrifices of
the nation will find recompense In a world at peace -
"But to attain the consummation of the great work to which the
American people devoted their manhood and the vast resources of their
country they should as they give thanks to God reconsecrate them-
selves to these principles of right which triumphed through His merciful
goodness Our gratitude 6an find no more perfect expression than to
bulwark with loyalty and patriotism those principles for which the 'ree
peoples of the earth fought and died ' —
"During the past year we have had much to make us grateful In
spite of the confusion In our economic life resulting from the war we
have prospered Our harvests have been plentiful and of onr abundance
we have been able to render succor to less favored nations Our de-
mocracy remains unshaken in a world torn with political and social
unrest Our traditional ideals are still on guides in the path of progress
and civilisation
“These great blessings vouchsafed to us for which we devoutly
gtvo thanks should arouse us to a fuller sense ef our duty to ourselves
and to mankind to see to it that nothing we nay do shall mar the com-
plotenees of the victory which we helped to win No selfiah purpose
animated us in becoming a participant in the world war and with a
like spirit ef unselfishness we should strive to aid by our example and
by eur co-operation in realising the enduring welfare of all peoples and
In bringing into being a world ruled by friendship and good wllL
"Therefore I Woodrow Wlson president of the United States of
America hereby designate Thursday the 37th day of November next
for observance as a day of Thanksgiving and prayer by my fellow coun-
trymen inviting them to cease on that day from their ordinary tasks
and to unite in their homes and in their several places of worship in
ascribing praise and thanksgiving to God the author of all blessings
and the master of our destinies '
"In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and caused the
seal of the United States to be affixed t
"Done in the District of Columbia this fifth day of November in
the year of Our Lord one thousand nine hundred and nlnteen and of
the independence of the United States the one hundred ad fOrty-fourth
year x
