own homes and with our neighbors

Thee this evening, and we dedicate all
and commit all into Thy hands in the
name of Jesus Christ, our Redeemer.

I'VE ask Thee, o Lord to look in
ma No .nff ~
what may have been the cause which
has brought the tumult and conflict
now prevailing: Wilt Thou grant that
II may be overruled for good, so that
the time shall come, that though
thrones may totter and empires fall,
liberty and freedom shall come to the
oppressed nations In Europe, and in
deed throughout the world. We pray
that liberty may come out of this op-
preston, that freedom may come out
of this strife. And do Thou grant In
Thy divine Providence that all things
may conspire together for good, so
that righteousness may be establish
ed: that the fruit of righteousness
which is the spirit OF peace, may be
enjoyed. And wilt Thou grant, heav-
emily Father, that the spirit OF the
Lord may rest down nightly upon
Thy people, event Thy Saints, those
assembled here In conference and
those whom they represent in the
various stakes of Zion and missions
abroad. Grant that they may receive
the instructions impaired and dwell
together In peace, that the spirit OF
peace and amity and love may be
among Thy Saints. DO Thou grant
that they may be able to understand
each and accord to eachother that
liberty they desire for themselves;
and though they may differ I'm their
opinions and views, they may accede
each and accord TO each other that
! liberty mentioned In the Constitution
of the United States which thor didst
raise up good and wise men to estab-
| fish. And grant that there may be
no real strife among them; but that
as Saints. and neighbors they may
dwell together In amity, brotherly
love and unity. And may this peace
pervade throughout the land of Zion.
that Thy Zion may be the pure In
heart-those who serve God and keen
his commandments.
Now, o Lord, we unite with all
| lnoSe VINO are praying this day, to
ask in Thy mercy and provinces, that
this terrible slaughter may be brought
to an end; that the spirit OF strife
may depart and that the spirit of
peace may peryade over the nations
so that this terrible strife may cease
| that II may speedily pass away and
that Thy righteous purposes may be
accomplished; that good may come To
the world and the way prepared for
the coming OF peace-that pence
found in Jesus Christ, Thy Son. our
Elder Brother In the spirit, whom we
love and adore this day and I'm whose
holy name we come unto Thee wit
