Abraham LincoIn's Proclamation
During the Civil War

Whereas, the Senate Of the United
States devoutly recognizing the su-
preme authority of just government
Of Almighty God in all the affairs Of
men and nations, has BY resolution
requested the President to designate
and set apart day for national pray
err and humiliation; and
Whereas, it is the duty Of nations
as well as of men to own their de-
pendence upon the overruling power
Of God, to confess their sins and trans
gressions in humble sorrow, yet with
assured hope that genuine repentance
will lead to mercy and pardon, and
to recognize the sublime truth, an
nounced in the Holy Scriptures and
proven by all history that the ma
lions only are blessed whose God is
the Lord;
And, insomuch as we know that by
His Divine law nations, like individu-
ais, are subjected to punishments and
Establishments in this world, may we
not justly fear that the awful calam-
ity of civil war which now desolates
the land may be but a punishment I'M
flicted upon us for our presumptuous
sins, to the needful end of our nation
al reformation as whole people? We
have been the recipients of the choic-
est bounties of Heaven; we have been
preserved these many years in peace
and prosperity; we have grown in
numbers, wealth, and power as no
other nation has ever grown. But
we have forgotten God. We have for
gotten the gracious hand which pre-
served US in peace and multiplied and
enriched and strengthened US, and
we have vainly imagined, in the de-
ceitfulness of our hearts, that all
these blessings were produced by
some superior wisdom and virtue of
our own. intoxicated with unbroken
success, we have become too self-suf-
ficient to feel the neeessit of re-
deeming and preserving grace, too
proud to pray to the God that made
us.
1t behooves us, then, to humble
ourselves before the offended Power,
to confess our national sins, and to

a FELLOWSHIP OF HELP
By DR. ROBERT WATT, SUPERINTENDENT, WILMINGTON
W. f. CHURCH.

The late President cleveland left a
vlrile, gripping phrase that will live
through the years, when he said, at a
critical juRcture in the affairs of this
nation, 1t Is a condition and not a the
ory that confornts us" How pre-emi-
nently true is that pregnant statement
at the present moment. A moments
rejecting Will bring the facts sharply
to mind.
For four years the arteries Of the
world have been bleeding. A titanic
struggle of such gigantic proportions
that II has dwarfed all that have pre-
ceeded It. COlossat forces have faced
each other I'm a life and death grapple.
IL has not been simply question Of
military supremacy, not a question as
to which side had the greatest military
geniuses. Not so much either a ques-
ton OF men as a question of man. Not
how many men could be lined up in a
battle array, but how much man was in
the men who faced each other in these
terrible onslaughts. As Marshal Foch
well said, This is the testimony Of the
greatest military genius Of the age, per-
haps Of any age"
Well, as we face our part in this con-
fllct what do we find? This: The civil
ian population, the men, women, boys
and girls, who by virtue Of age or ply
steal unfltness, or because they are es-
sential TO the home defence. could not
participate in the actual fighting, could
lend the hand Of a mighty help, and in
that service furnish the means by
which the necessary morale Of the fight
ing men should be maintained.
And so we have marshaled the Red
Cross, and the Home Defense, and last
by no means least is the Young Mems
Christian Association and the associated
war work activities. The real story of
what the Y. NJ. C. A. has done in light
ening the burdens and suffering the
rigors Of war, will never be told, for
human speech has its limitations.
