PAROQUET BOY WRITES
LETTER FROM FRANCE
(Continued from Page Two)
right as I can, and now since
we have settled down at this
}
place for awhile, myself and a ,
number of other boys in my
company are holding prayer
meetings after supper every
night. I think a Bible class in
our company is much better
for us than spending our Idle
time in deeds that will have
to be accounted for later. I
may be in the army the rest of
my days, and if so, while I am
a soldier for my country I will
also be a soldier for my Lord,
and I want the prayers of you
all every day.
While I am here it is my de
sire to go on and do my best at!
whatever I may be told to do, i
and I expect to stay in good :
company.
Keep the children in schoolj
for they will soon be men and 1
women, and in this day and
time the way is very dim to the i
person wh' has no education.
Mr. Rousel, a friend of mine, j
Guy Edgar, who you have;
hunted coons with a many a I
night, asks me to send you his j
best regards and good wishes.
Guy and I are in the same j
company. We work together
every day, so we pass the time
together very well.
I close with best wishes to
all, and think I will be home in
1919.
God be with you till we meet
again in the sweet bye and bye.

WILSON DESIGNATES THANKS
GIVING DAY TO GIVE THANKS
FOR PEACE AND OUR VICTORY
President Wilson has issued
a proclamation setting aside
Thursday, November 28, as a
day of national thanksgiving
and prayer.
“A new day shines about us’
says the president, “in which
our hearts take new courage
and look forward with new
hope to new and greater du
ties.’ The proclamation fol
lows :
THANKSGIVING—1918
By the President of the Unit
ed States of America—A Pro
clamation.
It has long been our custom
to turn in the autumn of the
year in praise and thanksgiv
ing to Almighty God for his
many blessings and mercies to
us as a nation. This year we
have special and moving cause
to be grateful and to rejoice.
God has in his good pleasure
given us peace. It has not
come as a mere cessation of
arms, a mere relief from the
strain and tragedy of war. It
has come as a great triumph
of right.
Complete Victory has
brought us not peace alone,
but the confident promise of a
new day as well, in which jus
tice shall replace force and
jealous intrigue among the na
tions. Our gallant armies have
participated in a triumph
which is not marred or stained
by any purpose of selfish ag
gression.
In a righteous cause they
have won immortal glory and
have nobly served their nation
in serving mankind. .God has
indeed been gracious. We have
cause for such rejoicing as re
vives and strengthens in us all
the best traditions of our na
tional history. A new day
shines about us, in which our
hearts take new courage and
lock forward with new hope to
new and greater duties.
While we render thanks for
these things let us not forget
to seek the divine guidance in
the performance of those du
ties and divine mercy and for
giveness for all errors of act
cr purpose, and pray that in all
that we shall strengthen the
ties of triendship and mutual
respect, upon which we must
assist to build the new struc
ture of peace and good will
among the nations.
Wherefore I, Woodrow Wil
son, president of the United
States of America, do hereby
designate Thursday, the ‘28th
day of November, next, as a
day of thanksgiving and pray
er. and invite the people throu
ghout the land to cease upon
that day from their ordinary
occupations and in their sever
al homes and places of worship
to render thanks to God, the
ruler of nations.
in witness whereof I have
hereunto set my hand and
caused the seal of the United
States to be affixed. Done in
the District of Columbia, this
Kith day of November, in the
year of our Lord 1918, and of
the Independence of the Unit
ed States of America the 143rd
