<p class="firstIndent1 fontsize10">The completed circle of summer and winter, seed-time aud harvest,<sidenote><p class="firstIndent1 fontsize8">Preamble.</p></sidenote> has brought ns to the accustomed season at which a religious people celebrates with praise and thanksgiving the enduring mercy of Almighty God. This devout and public confession of the constant dependence of man upon the Divine favor for all the good gifts of life and health, and peace and happiness, so early in our history made the habit of our people, finds in the survey of the past year new grounds for its joyful and grateful manifestation.</p>
<p class="firstIndent1 fontsize10">In all the blessings which depend upon benignant seasons this has indeed been a memorable year. Over the wide territory of our country, with all its diversity of soil and climate and products, the earth has yielded a bountiful return to the labor of the husbandman. The health of the people has been blighted by no prevalent or widespread diseases. No great disasters of shipwreck upon our coasts, or to our commerce on the seas, have brought loss and hardship to merchants or mariners, and clouded the happiness of the community with sympathetic sorrow.</p>
<p class="firstIndent1 fontsize10">In all that concerns our strength and peace aud greatness as a nation;
<page identifier="/us/stat/20/806">806</page> in all that touches the permanence and security of our government, and the beneficent institutions on which it rests ; in all that affects the character and dispositions of our people, and tests our capacity to enjoy and uphold the equal and free condition of society, now permanent and universal throughout the land, the experience of the last year is conspicuously marked by the protecting providence of God, and is full of promise and hope for the coming generations.</p>
<p class="firstIndent1 fontsize10">Under a sense of these infinite obligations to the great Ruler of times and seasons and events, let us humbly ascribe it to our own faults and frailties if, in any degree, that perfect concord and happiness, peace and justice, which such great mercies should diffuse through the hearts and lives of our people, do not altogether and always and everywhere prevail. Let us with oue spirit ami with oue voice lift up praise and thanksgiving to God for his manifold goodness to our land, his manifest care for our nation.</p>
<p class="firstIndent1 fontsize10">Now, therefore, I, Rutherford B. Hayes, President of the United<sidenote><p class="firstIndent1 fontsize8">Appointing Thursday, November 29, 1877, Thanksgiving Day.</p></sidenote> States, do appoint Thursday, the twenty-ninth day of November next, as a Day of National Thanksgiving and Prayer ; and I earnestly recommend that, withdrawing themselves from secular cares and labors, the people of the United States do meet together on that day in their respective places of worship, there to give thanks and praise to Almighty God for his mercies, and to devoutly beseech their continuance.</p>
<p class="firstIndent1 fontsize10">In witness whereof 1 have hereunto set my hand, and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed.</p>
<p class="firstIndent1 fontsize10">Done at the city of Washington this twenty-ninth day of October, in the year of our Lord oue thousand eight hundred and seveuty- [SEAL.] seven, and of the Independence of the United States the one hundred and second.</p>
