OCTOBER 5th-MATIONAL DAY OF PRAYER
All military and civilian personnel
are urged to take time out on this day
to reaffirm the spiritual values on
which our aspirations for the future
are based*
The following is a Proclamation by
the President of the United States of
America declaring October 5 I960 as
NATIONAL DAY OF PRAYER*
Whereas by the grace of God we live
in a good land where each citizen can
enjoy the blessings of liberty; and
Whereas our forebears did establish
in this land a Nation whose law def
ends and whose spirit ever nourishes
that liberty; and
Whereas the Congress, by a joint
resolution approved April 17 1952,
sought to remind our citizens of this
heritage by providing that the Presi
dent nshall set aside and proclaim a
suitable day each year, other than a
Sunday, as a National Day of Prayer,
on . which the people of the United
States may turn to God in prayer and
meditation;
-CONTINUED NEXT CGLUM
Now, therefore, I, Dwight D. Eisen
hower, President of the United States
of America, do hereby set aside Wed
nesday, the fifth day of October I960
as a National Day Of Prayer; and I
call upon my countrymen to observe it,
remembering;
First, that it is not by our strength
alone, nor by our own righteousness,
that we have deserved the abundant
gifts of our Creator;
Second, that the heritage of faith
born of hope and raised in sacrifice
lays upon its heirs the high calling
of being generous and responsible
stewards in our own and among the kin
dred nations of the earth;
Third, that in this time of testing
we shall ever place our trust in the
keeping of God*s Commandments, knowing
that He who has brought us here requires
justice and mercy in return;
And finally, that• as . we lift our
thankful hearts to Him, we will see
clearly the vision of the world that is
meant to be and set our hearts resol -
utely toward the achievement of it.
In witness whereof, I have hereunto
set my hand and caused the Seal of
America to be affixed, j
