FOR A DAY OF PUBLIC
In accordance with ancient custom, and by and with the advice and consent of the Council,
I appoint Thursday, the twenty-fifth day of November, as Thanksgiving Day.
Annually, since Colonial days, the people of the Commonwealth have observed a day of Thanks-
giving for the mercies which have been vouchsafed to them by Almighty God.
No year has been more appropriate for such an observance than this year of nineteen hundred and
nine. In material things we have cause for Thanksgiving, because our people are prosperous. What
is of more importance is that liberty of conscience, which caused the settlement of the Massachusetts
Colony, has been preserved in the laws of the Commonwealth and is believed in by the people.
*
We have great cause to be thankful that the people of this day and generation recognize peculiarly
their obligations to each other, and the strong and well-to-do are giving of their strength and means
to help their less fortunate neighbors.
May all the people take some time on this day to thank Almighty God for the blessings which
have been so bountifully showered on the United States as a Nation, and Massachusetts as a
Commonwealth.
Given at the Council Chamber, this third day of November, in the year of Our Lord, one thousand nine hundred and nine, and of the
Independence of the United States of America the one hundred and thirty-fourth.
EBEN S. DRAPER.
By His Eaccellency the Governor, with the advice and consent of the Council,
TVWILLIAM M. OLIN, Secretary.
