 War Forced Upon Us"
 At the assembling or the first ees- sion of the 65th congress- the chaplain Rev. Henry N Coudon, offered the fol- lowing invocation: God of the ages. our fathers God and our God. whose holy Influence has shaped and guided the destlnies of our republic from it's inception.

We abhor war and love peace. But if war has been or shall be forced upon us, we pray that che heart of every American citizen shall throb with patriotic zeal: that a united people may rally around our president to hold up his hands in every measure that shall be deemed neces- saiy to protect American lives and safeguard our inherent rights"
