The nation has lost a wise and enlightened statesman and the American people a true friend and counsellor whose whole public life was inspired with the desire’ to promote the best interests of the United States and the welfare of all its citizens. His private life was marked by gentleness and broth- erly sympathy, and by the charm of his personality he made friends of all who came in con- tact with him, It is meant that the deep grief which fills the hearts of the American people should find fitt- ing expression. Now, therefore, I, Calvin Coolidge, president of the Unit- ed States of America, do appoint Friday, next, Aug. 10, the day on which the body of the dead president will be laid in its last earthly resting place, of mourning and prayer through- out the United States. I earn- estly recommend the — people to assemble on that day in their respective place of divine wor- ship, there to bow down in sub- mission to the will'of Almighty God, and to pay out of full heart the homeage and love and rever- ence to the memory of the great and good president, whose death has so sorely smitten ‘the na- tion. y parses I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed.
