rurlamatium
THE observance of Good Friday as a fast
- |day is in the New England tradition.
ſº While its strictly religious significance
*="had been universal throughout Christen-
dom, our forefathers adopted it as a day for that
humility of soul which makes for the upbuilding
of character. Those sturdy, God-fearing ancestors
of ours met life bravely with all its vicissitudes and
uncertainties. Animated by an abiding faith in
an ancient and modern custom, I appoint Friday,
the 25th day of March, next, as a day of
3Fagfittu alth Hrager
and I recommend that it be so observed by our
people in their homes and in their places of
public worship in remembrance of those ancestors
who founded this commonwealth, and in com-
munion of spirit with the Author of All Good
in whom, Saint Paul said, “we live, and move,
and have our being.”
Given under my hand and seal of the State at the Capitol, in Hartford, this third day of
March, in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and thirty-two and of the
independence of the United States the one hundred and fifty-sixth.
By His Excellency's Command:
Secretary.
