Abundant has been the harvest of the farm and the harvest of the mill. Peace and prosperity have made their home with us. Our people are provided with the necessities of life, and to the necessities have been added the comforts. Happy because of these conditions, our citizens are yet more fortunate in the spirit inherited from the fathers that causes them to love morality, to foster education, to practice virtue, and to help their fellow-men. Therefore, may all the people, in church and at home, everywhere within our borders, join on the day thus set apart in prayer and praise to God for the heritage of the past, the blessings of the present, and the hopes of the future, — “That our sons may be as plants grown up in their youth ; that our daughters may be as corner stones, polished after the similitude of a palace: * « “That our garners may be full, affording all manner of store: “That our oxen may be strong to labor; that there may be no breaking in nor going out; that there may be no complaining in our streets. Happy is that people, that is in such a case; yea, happy is that people whose God is the Lord”. Given at the Council Chamber, in Boston, this fourth day of November, in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred and twenty-eighth. - & JOBIN L, BATES.
