I love how NJ not only officially acknowledges God, but they request
their residents to ask forgiveness for their sins. Imagine if a
politician had the courage to ask that today.
Thanksgiving Proclamation - 1904
Now, therefore, I, Franklin Murphy, Governor of the State of New
Jersey, in accordance with a custom that has come down to us from our
forefathers, do join with the President in requesting the people of
this State to observe the day named as a day of thanksgiving to the
Giver of all good for all His mercies to us as a people and as
individuals.
I do also request that the day be observed as a day of prayer, that the
blessings of an overruling Providence may be continued to us, and that
we, in all humility, asking forgiveness for our sins, and for light to
see the right and strength to do it, may, as far as in us lies,
continue to deserve the Divine favor.
Witness my hand and the great seal of the State of New Jersey hereunto
affixed. Done at the City of Trenton this fourteenth day of November,
in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and four, and of the
Independence of the United States the one hundred and twenty-ninth.
K.C.
