battle or from their wounds into the place of peace and light and admit them to the fellowship of the blessed ones who have laid down their lives for their friends; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

For a Better World.

ALMIGHTY God, who canst bring good out of evil, and makest even the wrath of man to turn to thy praise; We beseech thee so to order and dispose the issue of the war in which our country is now engaged, that we may be brought through strife to a lasting peace, and that the nations of the world may be united in a firmer fellowship, for the promotion, of thy glory and the good of all mankind; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

For Our Enemies.

LORD Jesus Christ; who hast commanded us not to

return evil for evil, but to pray for those who hate us; Enable us by thy blessed example and thy loving Spirit, to offer a true prayer for all our enemies (and especially for those persons known to thee who have wrought us harm). If in anything we have given just cause of offence, teach us to feel, and to confess, and to amend our fault, that a way of reconciliation may be found. Deliver them and us from the power of hatred, and may the peace of God rule in all our hearts, both now and evermore. Amen.

For all Poor, Homeless, and Neglected Folk.

GOD, who healest those that are broken in heart; Let thy fatherly goodness be upon all that thou hast made. Especially, we beseech thee, to remember in pity such as are this day destitute or homeless. Mightily befriend innocent sufferers, and sanctify to

them the endurance of their wrongs. Cheer with hope all discouraged and unhappy people, and by thy heavenly grace save them from despair. Grant this, O Lord, for the love of him, who for our sakes was crucified, thy Son, our Saviour Jesus Christ. Amen.

Prayer for a Social Awakening.

LORD of all things in heaven and earth, the land

and the sea and all that therein is; We humbly beseech thee take from us and all who administer the national resources, the spirit of gain and covetousness; give us the spirit of service, so that none may want, but each according to his need may share in the common necessity for the love of thine only Son, Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

For Missions.

GOD, who didst send thy blessed Son to preach peace to them that are far off and to them that are nigh; Grant that all men everywhere may seek after thee and find thee. Bring the nations into thy fold, and add the heathen to thine inheritance. And hasten, O Lord, the fulfilment of thy promise to pour out thy Spirit upon all flesh; through the same, Thy Son, Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

A Morning Prayer.

LORD of all grace and strength, be with me this

and have promised to fight under thy banner unto my life's end. May the Holy Spirit ever be with me to guide and strengthen me this day and ever; through Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour. Amen.

A Morning Prayer.

GOD, my help and strength, keep me this day without sin, guard me from whatever defiles, and inspire me with such loyalty to my Master Christ, that I may ever be ashamed to dishonour his holy Name; through Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour. Amen.

A Noon-day Prayer.

LESSED Saviour, who at this hour didst hang upon

B the cross, stretching forth thy loving arms; Grant

⚫ that all mankind may look unto thee and be saved; through thy mercies and merits who livest and reignest with the Father and the Holy Ghost ever, one God, world without end. Amen.

An Evening Prayer.

THOU, who when even was come didst stand in the midst of thy disciples and say, Peace be unto you; make me to know the narrow way of peace and truth. Save me waking, guard me sleeping, so that awake I may be with thee, and may sleep in peace. Amen.

For Real Success.

GOD, without whom our labour is but lost, and with whom our little ones go forth as the mighty; look favourably, we beseech thee, upon all works undertaken according to thy will, and especially upon that which has been committed to our hands. And grant unto thy servants a pure intention, patient faith, sufficient success on earth, and the blessedness of serving thee in heaven. Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Washington's Prayer.

Amen.

LMIGHTY God; We make our earnest prayer that

Althou wilt keep the United States in thy holy pro

tection; that thou wilt incline the hearts of the citizens to cultivate a spirit of subordination and obedience to government; and entertain a brotherly affection and love for one another and for their fellow citizens 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 demean ourselves with that charity, humility and pacific temper of mind which were the characteristics of the divine author of our blessed religion, and without a humble imitation of whose example in these things we can never hope to be a happy nation. Grant our supplication, we beseech thee, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
