PRAYER.
Almighty and most mercitul God
Thou art the God OF nations as well as
OF individuals. Thou art the God who
rules among the armies of heaven as
among the Inhabitants Of the earth,
and we desire to feel this day, whom
we como into Thy presence, that pro.
motion cometh neither from the North,
nor from the South, nor from the East,
nor from the West; but that God
above raseth up one and casteth down
another, We would recognize in Thee
the God of prosperity, the God of ad.
vancement, the God Of wisdom, the
God of success in all our undertakings
and enterprises, and we desire to re.
joice that Thou hast given us so much
encouragement to expec, Thy favor.

have received it in the past. 1t has
pleased Thee to give us our heritage
in a broad and goodly land. 1t has
pleased Thee to give us our existence

is full of promise and full of resources
for vast and glorious future. And
Almighty God, as we are assembled
here to-day, representatives from all

to ask of Thee that wisdom which is
requisite and necessary to the present

who presides over this Convention
may have guidance from on high in
order that he may rightly administer
his position. We pray that in oil the
efforts that are made here this day, in
oil the speaking, and in all the devices
and designs that are entered upon
here, there may be given such unani-
nifty and such wisdom of counsel as
that they shall issue in decision that
shall be for the best interests Of this
great republic.
Almighty God, we pray that harmany
may not only prevail in these coun-
sells, but that harmony may be there
by diffuscd over all this land, and that
from this day forth we may enter
upon new and happier and better
epoch even than those that have pass.
ed into the previous history of the
land that there may be no North, no
South, no East, no West; but all gath.
cred together in one common brother
hood, in one noble manhood, we may
be permitted to enjoy ourselves and
to perpetuate for our posterity those
glorious institutions which Thou hast
conferred upon us as our noble heri.
tage, all of which we ask only through
Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
