It is a part of our National life, and upon the spirit of its recognition rests the stability of our institutions. Observed by our fathers in the hardships of Colonial days, it gained recognition in the Naton's stress under Lincoln. With such history and such recognition, it is peculiarily fitting that today, with Democracy on trial, we should bow in thankful acknowledgement to a guilding Providence. With the idea and ideals of Calvary standing at bay, humanity, with beseeching confidence has appealed to the strength of America, for relief and life, itself. That we are privileged to give of our harvests to starving nations, and of our manhood in defense of honor, is foundation for sincere Thanksgiving. Never in the history of our country, have we been fortuned to give effectively so much for the world's advance. So, to stand, with our all, beside the bleeding Nations to fight for Liberty of Thought and Action, merits prayerful recognition of the God of Courts and Men. Truly, as in the past, man with tried heart, bowed in sadness, renders most devourt thanks to the guiding Hand of Destiny. In this world's sadness and misfortune, our State has played well her part, giving more of her resources than the demands of proportionate share. For all of which, and in keeping with PROCLAMATIONS. custom and Official Proclamation, I, John G. Townsend, Jr., Governor of the State of Delaware, do designate THURSDAY NOVEMBER THE TWENTY-NINTH as a Day of THANKSGIVING and strongly urge our citizens to lay aside the duties of the hour and give grateful thanks to Almighty God for the harvests and blessings received and the privileges and opportunities afforded, during this year, and to further resolve that our all be given for His Guidance. IN TESTIMONY WHEREOF, I, John G. Townsend, Jr., Governor of the State of Delaware, have hereunto set my hand and caused the Great Seal to be affixed at Dover, this Nineteenth day of November, in the year of our Lord, One Thousand Nine Hundred and Seventeen, and in the year of the Independence of the United States the One Hundred and Forty-second.
