State of Connecticut
BY HIS EXCELLENCY
JOHN H. TRUMBULL
GOVERNOR
rur lantatin it
UR generation has made good use of the gifts of God. All
about us are evidences of the ingenuity and the industry of
Men of our own time, by whose accomplishments the oppor-
§ tunities of life have been multiplied and enriched. We may
V with propriety honor our scientists, our statesmen and our
pioneers for their devotion to the cause of human progress; but we may not
with justice fail in our gratitude to God, by whose providence all such
progress is made possible. Our New England forefathers first gathered
together to give voice to their thankfulness for the simplest blessings; for
food and shelter and the freedom to worship in their own way. The occasion
for such expression has not lessened as the measure of God's gifts has filled
to over-flowing.
In conformity with ancient custom therefore, I designate Thursday,
the twenty-ninth day of November next, as a day of
(Ulpattkagiuittu
and I urge the people of Connecticut to gather on that day in their several
places of worship, and in their homes, there to give thanks to Divine
Providence for the many benefits with which He has blessed the least of us.
It should be a day also for visiting the sick, for relieving the needy, and for
befriending the homeless. By such good works is God praised most
sincerely and most effectively.
Given under my hand and seal of the State at the Capitol, in Hartford, this nineteenth day
of November, in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and twenty-eight and of the
independence of the United States the one hundred and fifty-third.
>4 ºzºa,
By His Excellency’s Command:
Secretary.
