A PROCLAMATION.
From year to year we have been accustomed to pause in our daily pursuits
and set apart a time to offer our thanks to Almighty God for the special
blessings He has vouchsafed to us, with our prayers for a continuance
thereof.
We have at this time equal reason to be thankful for His continued
protection and for the many material blessings which His bounty has
bestowed.
