of men into battle whom the counsel
of statesmen have not been able to
save from terrible sacrifice; and,
Whereas, in this as in all things 1t

counsel and succor of Almighty God,
humbling ourselves before him, con-
Tossing our weakness and our lack. of
any wisdom equal to these things.
and,
Whereas, it is the especial wish
and longing of the people of the Unit
all friendliness, to serve the cause of
peace;
Therefore, /, Woodrow Wilson,
president of the United States of
America, do designate Sunday, the
fourth day of October next. day OF
prayer and supplication, and do re-
quest all God-fearing persons to re-
pair on that day to their places OF
worship, there to unite their petitions
to Almighty God that, overriding the
counsel of men, setting straight the
/ things they cannot govern or alter,
| taking pity of the nations now In the
throes OF conflict, in his mercy and
! goodness showing the way where men
can see none, he vouchsafe his chill
dren, healing peace again and restore
once more that concord among men
and nations without which there can
be neither happiness nor true trleno.

or thought in the world; praying also
| to this end that he forgive our sins,
our ignorance of his holy will, our Will
| fitness and many errors, and lead US
| In the paths of obedience to places
Of vision and to thoughts and counsels
that purge and make wise.
in witness whereof have hereunto
set my hand and caused the seal OF
the United States to be affixed
Done at the city of Washington
this eighth day of September in the
