Governor Jordan's Fast Day Proclamation

Chester B. Jordan with contributions from Edward N. Pearson

Governor Chester B. Jordan of New Hampshire has issued the following Fast Day proclamation:—

The ceaseless roll of years into eternity has again brought us nigh unto the period usually set apart for the observance of our customary Fast.

Annually our merchants and other prudent men at the head of large corporations and great enterprises deem it necessary to take an account of stock; to halt in the hurry and rush for gain long enough to take their financial bearings and ascertain their true standing. It is equally important that all the people of our good state pause at least once a year and take a retrospect of the ways through which they have come to their glorious heritage, consider the best plans of life thought and activity for the present, and make wise forecast as to the future.
