fellow-citizens, as thou knowest, in order that
by exchanging our views, respecting the evils
which have been brought upon our country
BY those who are endeavoring to destroy our
government, under which we, as a nation,
have SO wonderfully prospered. But being
aware OF our short-sightedness, and liability
te, err, We would humbly and earnestly im-
plore the enlightenings of Thy Holy Spirit
thht we may be able to accomplish the object
for which we were chosen, in the best possible
manner. And Oh, Divine Sovereign of the
universe, we pray Thee to defeat those who
are endeavoring to break up our inestimabe
government and sustain and relieve hose
who are now deprived Of their Constitutional
privileges. We have to acknowledge that, as
nation, we have not appreciated our civil
and religious privileges. but have abused Thy
goodness. But we would meek1y importune
Thee, our Heavenly Father, to pardon our ma
tional sins, allay the fierce and hostile excite
ment that prevails in many sections of our
country, suppress the further shedding of
blood in civil war. Grant, we beseech Thee,
y Lord, that we may again become q united
people, secured in the enjoyment Of our for
mer inestimable civil and religious privileges.
and to Thy great and glorious name, Father,
Son and Holy Ghost, we will ascribe present
and everlasting praises. Amen.
