PRAYER FOR POWER TO
SECURE PERMANENT PEACE
Last Sunday Was Day of
Prayer All Over Country For
Success of Our Arms.
The United States Senate by unani
mous vote, resolved that Sunday last
should be set aside as a day of prayer to
Almighty -God from this Christian nation
to give strength to o”r arms bt our just
war and to bring us permanent peace on
the basis of righteousness in His own good
time. The House of Representatives, aft
er some debate as to whether this nation
was or was not a Christian nation, agreed
that it was, and concurred in the resolu
tion proclaiming a day of prayer.
Sunday was -celebrated over the land
by devout people. In city and on farms,
in army and navy—broken hearts, cour
ageous hearts, yearning hearts united
in an appeal to the Final Arbiter of every
cause. The content of every prayer was
“Oh, send us Peace in Thy time, O,
Lord.”
Prayers were promulgated by various
religious bodies and some printed pray- i
ers were scattered broadcast by individu- I
als. As might be expected, one of the
most original, the most unique, is that
of Billy Sunday, coming next week for
a series of meetings in Atlanta. Thi
Associated Press has given it wide pub
licity. We give it in full:
Almighty God, our Heavenly Father
we pray Thee that war may continue un
til Prussian militarism is swept off th
face of the earth, until the snake of nu
tocracy is crushed forever, until demon
racy is unshackled, until justice has a fail
show, until the virtue of woman is sure o!
protection, until little cnlidren no longe: .
go hungry, until the Kaiser and his co
harts have unpacked their trunks on St
Helena’s barren rocks.
And in the meantime, give each one o'
us the fighting spirit that led the crusad
ers to victory. If we do not fight with ou:
hands in the trenches, help us to flgh
with .sacrificing hearts at home.
Drawn Sword for Country Only.
Thou knowest, Oh Lord, we have no
entered this bloody *-ar because of avar
ice or greed and we do not covet Ger
many’s gold or land- We have drawn th
sword to defend our country against tin
most infamous, blood-thirsty horde of hu
man harpies that ever disgraced the earth
They respect neither law nor religion
nothing is sacred if it stands in thei;
path.
Lord, bless the President: give him wis
dom; bless all the councils of state am’
war. Keep us a united nation in fact
and spirit. Bless the army and navy.
Many of our brave boys already sleep
somewhere in France or beneath the sea.
Bring victory to our cause because we
know it is Your cause. We have joined
hands and hopes and hearts with our no
ble allies that this world may be a safe
place in which to live.
Thou knowest. Lord, that the tidal
wave of sneering, unbelief that has
blighted the faith of millions and denied
that Jesus is Thine only begotten son,

came from the beer mugs of that pretzel
crowd across the sea. All this, together
with the. deluge of blood, is enough to
make hell laugh and heaven weep.
Lord, thou has never forsaken our flag.
It waves without a stain. May it lead
every step of the way until the iron cross
is sunk fathoms in hell and the world
rests once more bathed in the radiance
of the Cross of Christ.
All this we ask in the name of Jesus
Christ, Thy son, our Savior, amen.
ARMY fRUCK“AFTRE~
ON WHELESS ROAD
A break in the routine of the Admin
istration Officers of the Army Y. M. C. A.
was furnished by a big F. W. D. truck,
which caught fire at the intersection of
the Whee.iess and Wrightsboro roads
Monday afternoon. Luckily for all con
cerned it was discovered at once, and two
of the truck fire extinguishers with two
more from the Y. M. C. A. Building, soon
put a quietus on the fire. Very little dam
age was done, the fire being under cen
tre Ibefore reaching the gasoline tank.
The truck is to be congratulated upon
selecting a good place to take lire. A
few minutes earlier out on the road would
have nrohnhh- '« Hops results.
