and the health and prosperous well-being
of our communities throughout this
land and in our possessions beyond the

but overflow and abound. They are
the blessings and bounty of God.
We continue to be at peace with
the. rest of the world. In all essential,
matters our relations with other peo
ples are harmonious, with an ever
growing reality of friendliness and
depth of recognition of mutual de-
pendence. It is especially to be noted
t that in the last year progress has
j been achieved in the cause of arbitra
! tion and tho peaceful settlement of in
ternational disputes.
Now, therefore, I, William. Howard
ITaft, president of the United States
iof America, in accordance .with the
wise custom of the civil magistrate
since the first settlements in this land
and with the rule established from the
foundation of this government, do ap

the day of national thanksgiving and
nraperv, enjoining the people upon that
day to meet in their churches for the
praise of Almighty God and to retnrfi
heartfelt thanks to Him for all His
goodness and loving kindness.
In witness whereof, I have hereunto
set my hand and caused the seal of the
