Almighty God, we make our earnest

entertain brotherly affection and love
for one another and for their fellow

justice, to love mercy and to demean
ourselves with that charity, humility,
aud pacific temper Of mind which were
the characteristics of the divine Author
of our blessed religion, and without a
humble imitation of whose example in
these things we can never hope to be a
happy nation.
Grant our supplication, we beseech
Thee, through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.
