State of Connecticut
BY HIS EXCELLENCY
SIMEON E. BALDWIN
GOVERNOR
A # rurlantafiult
Pursuant to a custom coeval with the Commonwealth,
I appoint Thursday, the twenty-seventh day of November,
as a day of
Chaukāniuituſ
and Praise.
The year about to close has been one of prosperity for
the people of Connecticut.
It has marked for the United States the rounding out of
a century of peace along our northern boundary, from
Sea to Sea.
While two great Powers, one our nearest neighbor on
the South and the other not far removed from our Asiatic
possessions, have been laboring under the stress of public
disorder and armed revolution, our political institutions
remain unshaken, and the principles of constitutional
government have been maintained in all their integrity in
State and nation.
As we gather on the day above appointed in family
reunions and in the House of God, may we not forget that
the legend of our seal remains yet true, and the sustaining
help He gave unto our fathers, He still gives to us.
Let us “enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into
his courts with praise; be thankful unto him, and bless his
Ila II) C.
For the Lord is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his
truth endureth to all generations.”
Given under my hand and the seal of the State at the capitol in Hartford
this seventh day of November, in the year of our Lord one thousand,
nine hundred and thirteen, and of the independence of the United
States the one hundred and thirty-eighth.
SIMEON E. BALDWIN.
By His Excellency’s Command:
ALBERT PHILLIPS,
Secretary.
