w
A Proclamation.
Thanksgiving
Day.
HE
President
of the
United
States
having
designated
Thursday,
the
thirtieth day of November
as
a day of
national
thanksgiving,
supplication
and
devotion,
I, HENRY
H.
HOUGH.
Gov-
ecnor of the Virgin Islands
of the United
States
of America
do
earnestly
recom-
mend
that
the
people
of
these
islands
gather
at their family a'tars
and in their
houses
of worship
on that day
to
render
thanks
to God for the
bounties
they have
enjoyed
and
to petition
that
these
may
be
continued
and
increcsed
in
the
yes
2
before
us.
In
the beginning
of
our
countr
tue
custom
was
establi~thed
by
th-
devout
fathers of observin;
‘"«anuall"
a
day
of
thanksgiving
for the
.
"w.ues
and
pro-
tection
which Divine Providence
had
ex-
tended
throuzhout
the
year
and
it
is
eminently fitting that-the
custom
should
be
perpetuated.
{
!
No
country
and
no people
are
witho
¢t
their
trials and
tribulations,’no
coun’
y
and
no people
are
without
the
bountics
and protection
of the Divine
power,-—let
usi
"
on this day of Thanksgiving
seek
only
,
emember
the
laftter.
Let each
heart
ve
scarched,
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 at
peace
with the
world at
large,
we have been
spared
the
destrue-
tion due to hurricanes,
earthquakes,
and
tidal waves,
the
devactation
due
to pesti-
lence,
plagues,
epidemiecs
and
serious
illnesses,
we have
had
neither
drought
nor
famine,
we have
been
blessed
with
the protection
of law and order.
We
are
a Ged-loving pecple,
religioasly inelined,
living in a spirit of amity
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 WHEREOF
I have here-
unto set
my hand
and
caused
the seal
of
the Government
of
the Virgin Iclands of
the Urited States
to be affixed.
