New York God Proclamation |
Thanksgiving Proclamation - 1900
"EXECUTIVE CHAMBER
In accordance with the wise custom of our forefathers now
continued for many generations, I hereby set apart Thursday, the
twenty-ninth day of November, nineteen hundred, as a day of
thanksgiving and prayer to the Almighty for the innumerable
benefits conferred upon the citizens of this State, in common with
their fellow citizens of the whole nation during the year which has
just passed; for the material well being which we enjoy, and for the
chances of moral betterment which are always open to us.
Done at the Capitol in the city of Albany this thirteenth day of
November in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred."

Thankfully we are a much more enlightened people and such a proclamation
would never be worded in this manner this day.
Not everyone is a Christian, my friend, nor do they have to be to celebrate
thanksgiving. Don't you understand that you must respect this if you expect
any respect for your own religious beliefs.
