20 know as little about religion as he
knows much about politics.

of their cause; to Thee do they now
look up for that countenance and sup

defeat the malicious designs of our
cruel adversarles; convince them of the
unrighteousness of their cause, and II

purposes o let the voice Of Thine own
unerrlng Justice, sounding in their
hearts, constraIn them to drop the
weapons of war from their unnerved
hands In the dag of battle. Be thou
present, o God OF wisdom. and direct
the counsels OF this honorable assembly;
enable them to settle things on the
best and surest foundation, that the
scene OF blood may be speedily closed:
that order. harmony and peace may be
effectually restored. and truth and JUS
lice. religion and plety, prevail and
tlourish among Thy people. Preserve
rho health OF their bodies and the vlgor
pt their minds; shower down on them
end the millions they here represent
such temporal blessings as Thou seest
sxpedIent for them in this world, and
crown them with everlasting glory In
tho world to come. All this we ask In
the name and through the merits of
geSus Christ, Thy Son, our Savior.
