GIVING DAY PROCLAMATION

President Wilson issued tonight his
1917 Thanksgiving11 proclamation,
calling upon the nation, even in the
midst of the sorrow and great peril
of a world shaken by war, to thank
God for blessings that are better
than mere peace of mind and pros
perity of enterprise.

'By the president of the United
States- of America.
"A proclamation:
"It has long been the honored
custom of our people to turn in the
fruitful autumn of the year in praise
and thanksgiving to Almighty God
for His many blessings and mercies
to us as a nation. That custom we
can follow now, even in the midst
of the tragedy of a world shaken
by war and immeasurable disaster.
in the midst of sorrow and great
peril, because even amidst the dark
ness that has gathered about us we
can see the great blessings God has
bestowed upon us, blessings that
are better than mere peace of mind
and prosperity of enterprise.
"We have been given the oppor
tunity to serve mankind as we once
served ourselves, in the great day
of our Declaration of Independence
by taking up arms against a tyranny
that threatened to master and de
base men everywhere, and joining
with other free peoples in demand
ing for all the nations of the world
what we then demanded and obtain
ed for ourselves.
"In this day of the revelation of
our duty, not only to defend our own
rights'as a nation, but to defend al
so the rights of free men throughout
the world, there has been, vouchsaf-
ed'Hs in full and inspiring measure
the resolution and spirit of united
action. ' We have been brought to

should especially thank God that in
such circumstances, in the midst of
the greatest enterprise the spirits of
men have ever entered upon, we
have, if we hut observe a reasonable
and practicable economy, abundance
with which to supply the needs of
those associated with us, as well as
our own. A new light shines about

"And while we render thanks for
these tilings, let us pray Almighty
God that in all humbleness of spirit
we may look always to Him for guid
ance; that we may be kept constant
in the spirit and purpose of service;
that by His grace our minds may be
directed and our hands strengthen
ed, and that in His good time lib

comradeship of a common justice
may be vouchsafed all the nations
of the earth.
"Wherefore, I, Woodrow Wilson,

America, do hereby designate Thurs
day, the 29th day of November next,
as a day of thanksgiving and pray

out the land to cease upon that day
from their ordinary occupations and
in their several homes and places of
worship to render thanks to God, the
