CONGRESS HEARS
UNCONVENTIONAL PRAYER

The Congressional Record for
q" August 8, 1919, gives the prayer
= offered by Rev. Henry N. Couden
: in opening the House session as
follows:
Good Lord, deliver us, we be-
seech Thee, from the u4warranted
conditions In which we as peo-
pie find ourselves.
We have just passed the great
est war of all history, and won a
victory for democracy, liberty,
and freedom from autocracy and
oppression.
Thus we have cast out the
demon of autocracy but we have
permitted seven devils to enter in,
and the last state of the house Is
isGworse than the first.
The greatest trickster becomes
for a day the greatest business
man.
The greatest trickster becomes
for a day the greatest lawyer.
The greatest trickster becomes
for a day the greatest statesman.
But honesty, justice, truth, right
eousness, which are eternal, will
assert themselves, right all
wrongs, free the oppressed, and
make life tolerable.
So we pray for a victory over
=" the high cost Of living and the
deadly enemies of truth, liberty,
and Justice. In His name. Amen.
