fears which fill mems hearts, of whom may we
seek for succor, but of thee, o Lord, who for
our sins are justly displeased. We acknowl-
edge, most Holy Father, that our chastise-
ments are merted and Just. But thou art
nerciful God, full of compassion, long suffer.

hatred and bitterness, and from every evil
work. Let thine own mighty voice speak
peace TO the raging elements Of wrath and
passion Incline thine ear to the prayers that
are now rising to thy mercy seat for the con-

pose Ia our behalf to continue to US the bless.
ings we have SO long enjoyed, to magnify thy
loving Kindness in our rescue from threatening
to grant US speedy deliverance, Sc
eurity and peace; and may our present dis
TesS lead US TO unteigned repentance and
more heartfelt dependence upon thee, our God
to sincere conformity to thy blessed will and
obedience to the gospel of thy dear Son, our
mol and mcrcitul Saviour; to whom, with thee
and the Holy Ghost, be all honor, glory and
praise, now and forever more. AMEN.
