Aspiring Writers Magazine Autumn 2007 Edition
By the United States in Congress assembled.
PROCLAMATION.
IT being the indispensable duty of all Nations, not only to offer up their
supplications to ALMIGHTY GOD, the giver of all good, for his gracious assistance
in a time of distress, but also in a solemn and public manner to give him praise for
his goodness in general, and especially for great and signal interpositions of his
providence in their behalf: Therefore the United States in Congress assembled,
taking into their consideration the many instances of divine goodness to these
States, in the course of the important conflict in which they have been so long
engaged; the present happy and promising state of public affairs; and the events
of the war, in the course of the year now drawing to a close; particularly the
harmony of the public Councils, which is so necessary to the success of the
public cause; the perfect union and good understanding which has hitherto
subsisted between them and their Allies, notwithstanding the artful and
unwearied attempts of the common enemy to divide them; the success of the
arms of the United States, and those of their Allies, and the acknowledgment of
their independence by another European power, whose friendship and commerce
must be of great and lasting advantage to these States:----- Do hereby
recommend to the inhabitants of these States in general, to observe, and request
the several States to interpose their authority in appointing and commanding the
observation of THURSDAY the twenty-eight day of NOVEMBER next, as a day of
solemn THANKSGIVING to GOD for all his mercies: and they do further
recommend to all ranks, to testify to their gratitude to GOD for his goodness, by a
cheerful obedience of his laws, and by promoting, each in his station, and by his
influence, the practice of true and undefiled religion, which is the great foundation
of public prosperity and national happiness.
Done in Congress, at Philadelphia, the eleveth day of October, in the year of our
LORD one thousand seven hundred and eighty-two, and of our Sovereignty and
Independence, the seventh.
JOHN HANSON, President.
Charles Thomson, Secretary.
