Plea For Future Gratitude and Continuance

Written for THE BEx.

H ored custom OF our nation,
Mr.. Mckinley, the Presi-
dent, has proclaimed that day be
observed as an occasion for prayer
and thanksgiving. In this procla-
nation, there is a recognition OF
the Bible idea, that God rules in
the affairs Of nations. General
Washington, the father OF our coun-
try, ascribed the success Of his
army to the Divine Providence.
Our Government was born in the
midst of prayer. "The convention
was in session 10 Philadelphia to
frame our constitution. Several
weeks passed and confusion reigned
so that no perceptible good was
accomplished. A proposition was
made that the convention engage
in daily prayer for the help Of God
in a work fraueht with so much
importance.
DR.. Franklin arose and said: "ln
the beginning Of the contest with
Britain, when we were sensible OF
danger, we had daily prayers in our
rooms for the Divine protection.
Our prayers we're heard and gra-
ciously answered. To His kind
providence we owe this happy OPP
portunity of consulting in peace on
the means Of establishing our future
national felicity And have we
forgotten this powerful friendf Or
do we no longer need His assist

and the longer | live, the more
convincing proofs | see that God
rules in the affairs of nations. And
if a sparrow cannot fall to the
ground without His notice, is it
probable that an empire can rise
without His aid1 We have been
assured in the sacred writings that,
except the Lord build the house
they labor in vain that build, and
firmly believe this. | also be.
lieve that without His concurring
aid, we shall succeed no better in
this political building than the
builders OF Babel"
The motion for prayer was car
ried and the Divine guidance was
sought and secured. Hence oui
Governments child OF Provi-
dence, symmetrical, robust with
health, and a model for nations.
For the continuance Of peace and
prosperity of our Government, the
Chief Executive calls our nation tc
prayer. Righteousness exaltetl
a nation, but sin is a curse to any
people. E." Therefore, all Christian
people should pray for all that ar,
in authority that we may be ;
Christian nation in more than name
But we are to have day MOI
only of prayer, but Thanksgiving
A nation on its knees thanking
God for its peace and prosperity
What beautiful sight to behold
But gratitude finds its truer ex
preston in deeds. II our country
is truly grateful it will be true t.
the Lord Of her mercies. But a,
individuals, let us recall the bless
ings Of ourselves and to our homes
and be thankful. To say we are
thankful and continue in sin j!
contradiction. To claim that we
are grateful, and have our table:
burdened with good things anc
ourselves and families comfortably
clothed and do nothing for the
Lords poor, is equally contradic,
