I'm view of the great distress thai
a large part of the civilized world In
now suffering, and feeling that there
are no people on earth who can better
synpathize with those suffering from
! the ravages of war than Confederate
! veterans, says the icLt~is VIC
| quest that at the morning session
| each day a minister be invited to offer
| prayer that peace may be restored
/ to the world" The request concludes:
TT seems to us that such prayer
coming In the midst of the business
of the sessions would recall to men
I the blessings of peace our own coun-
! try enjoys, that 1t would be a great
| help to all who hear 1t. and would
| be an IL spiration to those In other
sections who might read It,"
| General Harrison. granting the re-
quest called upon Rev. Or. j. w.
Bachman. haplain-eeneral. who. af-
| ter giving thanks that this nation Ia
so blessed with peace at this time
when a great portion of the world IL
| torn with strife.
| 30. God. put thine hands upon the
| heads of those who rule. that they
may turn to a righteous peace"
| During the prayer all within sound
of the chaplain-generafs voice stood
with heads bowed and all the force
| of thei- presence was added to the
fervent prayer.
/ The plea for peace concluded.

eral b. w Green. commander of the
