CENTENNIAL ANNIVERSARY OF GENERAL WAYNE'S

TREATY OF GREENVILLE, AUG. 3, 1895.

 

PRAYER BY REV. JOHN POYNTZ TYLER.

 

O God, who art the blessed Potentate, the King of kings

and the Lord of lords, the Almighty Ruler of nations, we adore

and magnify Thy glorious name for all the great things which

Thou hast done for us. We render Thee thanks for the goodly

heritage which Thou hast given unto us, for the civil and relig-

ious privileges which we enjoy, and for the multiplied manifes-

tations of Thy favor towards us. We thank Thee for this fair

land which Thou hast given and preserved to us. Grant that we

may show our thankfulness for these Thy mercies by living in

reverence of Thy almighty power and dominion, in humble re-

liance on Thy goodness and mercy, and in whole obedience to

Thy righteous laws. Preserve, we beseech Thee, to our coun-

try the blessings of peace; restore them to nations deprived

of them, and secure them to all the places of the earth. May

the kingdom of the Prince of Peace come and reign in the hearts

and lives of men. We implore Thy blessing on all in legislative,

judicial and executive authority, that they may have grace, wis-

dom and understanding so to discharge their duties as most ef-

fectually to promote Thy glory, the interest of true religion and

virtue, and the peace, good order and welfare of this state and
