Dr. BacOn's Prayer at GrotO

Dr. BacOn's Prayer at Groton.
 Let us pray. o, God, Thou art our dwell ing place in all generations. Our fathers trusted'in Thee, and Thou didst hear and de- liver them. By their sufferings and their sacrifices, and by all that thou has wrought for us and the world, Thou hast taught us to make Thee our God and to call upon Thy name. We lift up our hearts to Thee in &C., cord with the millions of people who, to-day, are calling upon Thee in behalf of Thy ser want, the President of these United States, who in Thy wisdom has been permitted to ap- proach the gates of death. Oh, God, we thank Thee that his life has been spared through so much suffering, infrmity and pain to this day, and we beseech Thee to spare this precious life and return Thy servant to the use of that high office to which by Thy providence he was called by the people. Give him life, strength and wisdom, and all honor in the administration of the government, and grant that under his direction and guidance the people may have even greater prosperity, and that their hearts may be knit in the bonds of union and fraternity. Oh, God, we beseech Thee to hear the prayers of Thy people and grant their request Grant us our petition in behalf of Thy servant and we will rejoice in Thy goodness to Thy peo- pie. We ask it, believing Thou art a God who hears prayer, and through Christ, the worlds redeemer, to whom be glory to the worlds end. Amen.

At Peck Slip at noon it registered 1O6 degrees. The ambulances were very busy all day and many cases of death from the heat were reported.
