WHEREAS, loyalty to the state and nation cannot be maintained and fostered without
frequent renewals of confidence and faith in the government; and
WHEREAS, patriotic fervor that is not rekindled soon loses its warmth; love of country
that is not engendered soon becomes dormant; and adherence to American ideals that is lost
sight of soon fails to be of value; and
WHEREAS, it is appropriate that a day be set aside for the purpose of discussing and
bringing impressively to the attention of our citizens some of the fundamental American
ideals among which are equality of opportunity, universal education, religious liberty, ma-
jority rule, preservation of the rights of the minority, adequate reward for labor, respect for
the home, abolition of caste and class, respect for property rights, freedom of speech and the
press, regard for childhood, old age and womanhood; and
WHEREAS, while the loyal American has a sincere interest in the success of, and dis-
plays a helpful attitude toward other nations, his first loyalty must be toward his own coun-
try, his own home; his allegiance to his native heath must come first if he is the right kind of
a citizen; his patriotism must be the sort that demands that his first duty is to his own
country.
Therefore, I, Ephraim F. Morgan, Governor of West Virginia, hereby do proclaim and
designate Sunday, June 29, 1923, as the fourth
3 nt er i r a 3}, i r a t ſa a u
and call upon all of the loyal citizens of this State to observe this day in an appropriate
manner. And, I further appeal to the churches to have this day observed in the Sunday
Schools by special programs, with the singing of patriotic hymns and for a discussion of these
ideals by the clergy and others. *
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto
set my hand and caused the Great Seal of the
State to be affixed. Done at the Capitol, in the
City of Charleston, this, the first day of June,
in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hun-
dred and twenty-four, and in the sixty-first
year of the State.
By the Governor:
Secretary of State.
