CHAPLAIN1S CORNER
An Old Prayer for the Now Year
Many world wide problems must
be solved by us in the New Yean
The J&rst Prayer in Congress was offered
by Chaplain J. Duehe on December 17,1777
Let us make this our New Year prayer and
do all within us to be used of God to be
part of the answer.
M0 Lord, our heavenly Father, High and
Mighty, King of Kings and Lord of Lords,
who doest from The Throne behold all the
dwellers on earth and reignest with power
supreme end uncontrolled over all king
doms, empires and governments; look down
in mercy we beseech Thee on these Ameri
can States, who have fled to Thee from
the rod of the oppressor, and thrown
themselves on Thy gracious protection
desiring henceforth to be dependent only
on Thee. To Thee they have appealled
for the righteousness of their cause. To
Thee do they look up for that countenance
and support which Thou alone canst give.
Take them therefore Heavenly Father
under Thy nurturing care. Give them
wisdom in counsel and valor in the field,
(continued next column)
—J
Defeat the malicious designs of our
cruel adversaries* Convince them of
the unrighteousness of their cause,
and if they persist in their sanguinary
purpose, 0, let the voice of thine own
unerring justice, sounding in their
hearts, constrain them to drop their
weapons of war from their unnerved hands
in the day of battle,
Be Thou present, 0 God of wisdom and
direct the counsels of this honorable
Assembly* Enable them to settle things
on the best and surest foundation; that
the scent of blood may speedily be close-"
ed, that order, harmony and peace may be
effectually restored, and turth and
justice and religion and piety may pre**
vail and flourish among Thy people. Pre-^|
serve the health of their bodies, and the
vigor of their minds; shower down on them
and millions they represent such temporal
blessings as Thou seest expedient for
them in this world, and crown them with
everlasting glory in the world to come.
All this we ask in the name of and
through the merits of Jesus Christ, Thy
Son, cur Saviour, Amen,M

SMOKEY SEZ
A little bit geos a long way or as
Smokey Sez, a little spark can cause
a big fire* Don*t dump ash trays in
waste baskets containing paper or throw
cigarett butts into these same waste
baskets, A cigarett butt flipped out
the window can cause a lot of fire dam
age in certain areas. You smokers have
probably searched the back seat of your
car f r that lit cigarett butt that you
flipped out and the wind blew it back
in. You have an ash tray, use it or
quit smoking.
Make it a .Happy Mow Year
