A PROCLAMATION.

It is a very glad incident of the marvelous prosperity which has crowned
the year now drawing to a close that its helpful and reassuring touch
has been felt by all our people. It has been as wide as our country, and
so special that every home has felt its comforting influence. It is too
great to be the work of man's power and too particular to be the device
of his mind. To God, the beneficent and the all-wise, who makes the
labors of men to be fruitful, redeems their losses by His grace, and the
measure of whose giving is as much beyond the thoughts of man as it is
beyond his deserts, the praise and gratitude of the people of this
favored nation are justly due.

Now, therefore, I, Benjamin Harrison, President of the United States of
America, do hereby appoint Thursday, the 26th day of November present,
to be a day of joyful thanksgiving to God for the bounties of His
providence, for the peace in which we are permitted to enjoy them, and
for the preservation of those institutions of civil and religious
liberty which He gave our fathers the wisdom to devise and establish and
us the courage to preserve. Among the appropriate observances of the day
are rest from toil, worship in the public congregation, the renewal of
family ties about our American firesides, and thoughtful helpfulness
toward those who suffer lack of the body or of the spirit.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of
the United States to be affixed.
