STATE OF CONNECTICUT.
BY HIS EXCELLENCY
SIMEON E. BALDWIN
GOVERNOR
A iſ rur la mafin it
Pursuant to the ancient custom of the common-
wealth, I appoint Thursday, the twenty-sixth day of
November, as a day of
Chaukauiuiltſ,
and Praise, and call upon the people, throughout the
State, to lay aside upon that day their ordinary
occupations, and join, in their places of public
worship and in family reunions in their homes, in
praise tº God for the manifold blessings: Hexhas
bestowed upon us, and especially for that of peace
in our time. º
Let us, in the words of the Psalmist, offer unto
God thanksgiving and pay our vows unto the
Most High.
Let us, also, remember that, to his prayer that
the tº: would praise the Lord for his goodness
and for his wonderful works to the children of men,
there was added “and let them sacrifice the sacrifices
of thanksgiving.”
So in these days of thankfulness here for peace
may we not forget the lands across the ocean where
there is no peace, and that it is peculiarly the part
and privilege of the people of this great land to show
sympathy through sacrifice in ministering by their
gifts to those upon whom hunger and cold and
untold suffering of every kind have been forced by
the hard hand of war.
Given under my hand and the seal of the State at the Capitol in Hartford,
this thirty-first day of October, in the year of our Lord, º thousand nine hundred
and fourteen, and of the founding of the commonwealth the two hundred and
seventy-sixth, and of the independence of the United States the one hundred and
thirty-ninth.
SIMEON E. BALDWIN.
By His Excellency’s Command :
ALBERT PHILLIPS,
Secretary.
