Rev John Allen otficiated as Chaplain, and re-
cited the first Psalm:
blessed is the man that walketh not in the
counsel of the ungodly, nor stan 'eth in the way
of sinners nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.
But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and
in his law doth he mediate day and night.
And he shall be like tree planted by the rivers
of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his sea-
son; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoev
er he doeth shall prosper.
The ungodly arc not so; but are like the chai
which The wind driveth away.
Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the
dgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the
righteous.
fos tne Lord knoweth the way of the righteous;
but the way Of the ungodly shall perish"
At the close of the Psalm, Mr.. Allen offered the
following prayer;
Let us pray. We acknowledge, O Lord, that
we are but dust and ashes before Thee; our lives
are but as vapor that appeareth for little time,
and then passeth rapidly away. But we thank
Thee that we have been preserved through anoth-
er year, and that we are permitted to be IN this
place on this occasion We thank Thee that Thou
hast preserved the lives and the health Of these
older members. and that others that are young
have been permitted to obtain this honorable po-
sition. And now Lord while we are all here to-
gether. let Thy holy spirit rest upon us. to direct
our thoughts and our words and our actions
Alright Thou knowest that this body needs the
influence of Thy spirit to help their ipfrmities.
We do not expec that they are absolutely perfect.
although they may be on the wav. But we pray
that Thou wilt take them into Thine own hand,
and direct them in the way that hall be to their
highest credit. and to the onor of the State and
their constituents. And we pray that Thou
would.t bless the successful candidates. May
they not be lifted up on account OF their success.
Be gracio' $, o, Lord, to the a-piranfs that have
failed. May they m b,de their time with resignation.
And we pray that Thy holy spirit may rest upon
us all, whether in office, or out. Bless the nhab
itants of the State. and the country. Bless the
Government. for o. Lord, they need prayers, eS-
peclally the incoming administration Have NOR
cy upon US and let us know that Thou hast the
reins of government in thine own hands. Direct
us in the way Thou wouldst have US go, and ulti-
mately save Us for the Redeemer's sake. Amen.
