In comphance with the oustom established by the reverence of our fathers, and sanctioned by the gratitude of their children, I invite the people of the State to observe Thubsday, the 29th day of November, as a day of Thanksgiving and Prai8e. The generous response of the earth to our daily needs again reminds us of that olii yet ever newly illuatrated truth, that to every " Oh ! my Pather " there comes a " Here, my chüd." While we rejoioe in the evidence of a Divine Fatherhood, let us remember when gathered together on that day in our places of public worship, or at our firesides, that honest thanksgiving and praise flnd their true expression in a charity of thought and deed, one to another, which gives promise and proof of the Divine brotherhood of mn. Given at the Bxocutive Chamber, in Lansing, this sixth day of November, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundrsd and seventy four, and of the Independence of the United Statea of America the ninetv-ninth.
