A Prayer that Created a Sensation
In the House of Representatives on Monday
morning the Chaplain in his opening prayer crea-
ted something of sensation. He was attentively
listened to and his language was ordered to be
printed in the Record. The prayer was as fol-
lows:
awe beseech Thee Almighty God, help the
people of this country to learn that money gained
otherwise than as Thou commanded, by the sweat
of the face as the fair and honest wage of honora
BILE manly work of brain hand, is gained by
theft, no matter how We name the stealing that
money is never converted into wealth unless it
to be the pander of our lusts, and lifts us
above the ANIMAL lifting us to the graces of life,
elevating our hearts to manly aspirations, making
US kindly with our hind, patient to Gods laws
and reverent to ourselves. Rid the land, we be-
seech Thee, of all gamesters, whether they gamble
with dice or cards. or chips, with wheat or
stocks, or corn or cotton. Deliver us from the in
fuence and power of robbers, who, enticing their
victims to boards of trade and stock exchanges
and bucket shops name their practices of plumber
sshearing the Lambs Enlighten our intelligence
with Thy truth, sweeten and deepen our humanity
with Thy love, quicken our piety with Thy spirit
and may Jesus Christ become more and more the
master and raler of our lives and characters and
thoughts. We pray through His hallowed name.
Amen"
