Prayer for the Nation-"A Almighty
Cod, we make our earnest prayer
that Thou wilt keep the United
States in Thy holy protection; that
Thou wilt incline the hearts of the
citizens to cultivate a spirit of
subordination and obedience to
government, and entertain a bro
therly affection and love for one
another and for their fellow citi-
Eens of the United States at large.
And, finally, that Thou wilt most
Graciously be pleased to dispose us
all to do justice, to love mercy, and
TO demand ourselves with that
charity, humility, and pacific tenn
Der of mind which were the charac-
.eristics of the Divine Author of
our blessed religion, and without
an humble imitation of whose ex-
ample in these things we can never
hope to be a happy nation. Grant
our supplications, we beseech Thee,
through Jesus Christ our Lord,
.Amen."
