PRAYER FOR COUNTRY AND CHURCH
PRAYER FOR COUNTRY AND CHURCHPray for the prosperity of our country, and for her victory under arms; that justice, mercy, and peace continue to characterize her government, and that they shall rule all nations. Pray that the divine presence may still guide and bless our chief magistrate, those associated with his executive trust, and our national judiciary; give to our congress wisdom, and uphold our nation with the right arm of His righteousness. In your peaceful homes remember our brave soldiers, whether in camp or in battle. *1 Oh, may their love of country, and their faithful service thereof, be unto them life-preservers! May the divine Love succor and protect them, as at Manila, where brave men, led by the dauntless Dewey, and shielded by the power that saved them, sailed victoriously through the jaws of death and blotted out the Spanish squadron. *1 This refers to the war between United States and Spain for the liberty of Cuba. Great occasion have we to rejoice that our nation, which PAN 15 fed her starving foe, - already murdering her peaceful seamen and destroying millions of her money, - will be as formidable in war as she has been compassionate in peace. May our Father-Mother God, who in times past hath spread for us a table in the wilderness and "in the midst of our enemies," establish us in the most holy faith, plant our feet firmly on Truth, the rock of Christ, the "substance of things hoped for" - and fill us with the life and understanding of God, and good will towards men.
