ūlhereaff, The people of this Commonwealth still acknowledge, as did their fathers, their dependence
upon the beneficent providence of Almighty God, and cherish with pious observance the custom of many generations to set apart a
day, after the harvest has been gathered, for praise and thanksgiving to God for his goodness to the children of men,
Ślulu, Jherefort, I, by and with the advice and consent of the Council, appoint Thursday, the
twenty-fifth day of November current as a day of public thanksgiving to God for his mercies, and of remembrance of his loving-kindness.
In the church, or by the hearth, may our hearts be lifted in reverent and grateful aspiration to
- the God who holds in his hands the nations of the earth, yet whese eyes consider the poor. In the hallowed circle of home, and in
the broader brotherhood of man, may we be kindly affectioned one to another. May we remember that righteousness alone exalteth
a nation, and renew to the beloved country, which we hold as God’s stewards, the pledge of Our Sacred honor.
Given at the Council Chamber, in Boston, this fourth day of November, in the year of Our Lord
one thousand eight hundred and ninety-seven, and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred and
twenty-second.
FOGEF, WOLCOTT.
