BY TH¥ GOVERNOR OF THE VIRGIN ISLANDS OF THE UNITED STATES. A Proclamati roclamation. Thanksgiving Day. HE President of the United States having designated Thursday, the thirtieth day of November as a day of nationa! thanksgiving, supplication and devotiion, I, HENRY H. HOUGH, Gov- ernor of the Virgia Islands of the United States of America, do earnestly recom- mend that the people oi these islands gather at their family altars and in their houses of worship on that day to render thanks to God for the pounties they have enjoyed and to petition that these may be continued and increased in the year before us. in toe neginning of our country the custom was established by the dzvouat fathers of obs2rvinz annuilly a day of thanksgiving for tas boruatizs and pro tectioa waica Diviae Providane2 had ex- teadsl tardazno. th? year and i: 13 e ninently siting that the custom should be perpetuaied. ; No coancey and no prople are without their trials and tribafaiions, ny country and no people are without the bounties and protection of the Divine power,--let us all on this day of Thanksgiving seek only to remember the latter. Let each heart be searched, for the benefits and blessings received at the hands of the Almighty and for these let us lift up our hearts in an appropriate expression of appreciation and gratitude. . The terrors of war have passed us by and we are living as peace with the world at large, we have been spared the destruc- tion due to hurricanes, earthquakes, and tidal waves, the deva tation due to pesti- lence, plagues, epidemics and serious illnesses, we have had neither drought nor famine, we have been blessed with the protection of law and order. We are a God-loving people, religiouasly inclined, living in a spirit of ami 'y and brotherly love. Let us therefore celebrate this day of Thanksgiving as sincerely as did the originators of the custom when it was first established. IN WITNESS WHERIKEOF I have here- unto set my hand and caused the seal of the Government of the Virgin Islands of the United States to be aflfixed.
