HAPPY THANKSGIVING ! The season approaches when in according to a long established and respected custom, a day is set apart to give thanks to Almighty God for his manifold blessings which His gracious and benevolent providence has bestowed upon us as a nation and as individuals. We have been with safety and honor through another year and through the generosity of nature, He has blessed us with resources whos potentiality and wealth is almost incalculable. We are at peace at home, the public health is good. We have been undisturbed by pestilence and great catastrophies, our harvest and our industries have been rich in productivity. Our commerce spreads all over the whole world, and labor has been rewarded for its remunerative service. As we have grown and prospered in material things, so also we should progress in moral and spiritual things.We are a God fearing people who should set ourselves against evil ans strive for righteousness in living and observing the Golden Rule. We should, from our abundance, help and serve those less fortunately placed.We should bow in gratitude to God for his many favors. Now therefore ..I Calvin Cooledge..President of the United States, do hereby set apart Thursday the 26 of November next as a day of general Thanksgiving and ..prayer. And I recommend that on that day.the people shall CEASE FROM THEIR DAILY WORK and in their homes or in their accustomed places of worship, devoutly give thanks to the Almighty for the many blessings they have received ..and to seek His guidance that they may deserve a continuance of His favor..
