State of Connecticut
BY HIS EXCELLENCY
JOHN H. TRUMBULL
GOVERNOR
R f t l
HE Constitution of Connecticut pronounces it
|“the duty of all men to worship the Supreme Being,
= the great Creator and Preserver of the Universe.”
£ºsº/The Commandments of God as set forth in the
Scriptures were, in the early days of our history, the funda-
mental law of the State. The ideals of Christian ethics
are ingrained in our most cherished institutions. It is fit-
ting therefore, that we take annual occasion to recognize,
as citizens, a solemn duty of worship and prayer, and to
acknowledge with all humility our dependence on divine
guidance and favor. To this end, and in accordance with
the pious customs of many generations, I appoint Friday,
the fifteenth of April next, as a day of
3faatitu, alth #irager,
and I earnestly urge that the people of this State gather on
that day in their several places of worship, and there hum-
bly and gratefully acknowledge their debt to the Author
of their Being. To all Christians, the day will be a solemn
memorial of the Divine Sacrifice. To any man, the story
of Good Friday will carry a lesson of compassion, of
humility and of unselfish service, which he will do well
to learn.
Given under my hand and seal of the State at the Capitol, in Hartford, this fourth day of
º | April, in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and twenty-seven and of the
independence of the United States the one hundred and fifty-first.
>4 ºzºc,
By His Excellency’s Command:
Secretary.
