I>ROCLAMATION BY TIIK PRESI
DENT, APPOINTINa A DAY OF FAST
ING, HUMILIATION AND PRAYER, WITH
THANKSGIVING.—The. Congress of the Confede
rate Stat** have, by v joint resolution, invited m l '
to appoint a day of public Casting, humiliation and
prayer, with thanksgiving to Almighty God.
It is our solemn duty, at all times, and more es
pecially in a season of public trial and adversity,
to acknowledge our dependence on llis mercy, and
to bow in humble submission before His fjot.-too;
confessing our manitold sin?, supplicating 11m gra
cious pardon, imploring His Divine help, and de
voutly rendering thanks for the many and great
blessings which He has vouchsafed to us.
Let tho hearts of our people turn contritely and
trustfully unto God; let us recognise in His cru-
stening hand the correction of a Father, and sub
miss'.vely pray that the trials and sufferings which
have sj long borne heavily upon us may be turned
away by His merciful love; that His sustaining
grace bo given to our people, and His d-vine wisdom
imparted to our rulers; Unit the Lord of Hosts will
bo with our armies, and fight for us against our
enemies; and that He will graciously take <.-ur cause
into His own hand and mercifully estattish for us a
lasting, just and honorable peace and independence.
And let us not forget to render unto His holy
name the thanks and praise which aro BO justly due
for His great goodness, and for the many mercies
which He ha*- extended to us amid the trials and
sufferings of protracted and bloody war.
Now, therefore, I, JEFFERSON DAVI9, Presi
dent of the Confederate States of America, do issue
this my proclamation, appointing FRIDAY, the
10th day of M irch next, as a day of public fasting,
humiliation and prayer, (with thanksgiving,) for
"invoking the favor and guidance of Almighty
God ;" and I do- earnestly invite all soldiers and
citizens to observe the same in a spirit of reverence,
penitence and prayer.
