"the memorial stone." 219 either preached or prayed ; (and they can be as easily j)rayed as preached ;) I do not py^ay them ; I recog- nize Government as an institution of Grod, and "the powers that be/' as '-'ordained of God." I jjray for our Rulers, — obeying the Ajjostle's exhortation, — " I ex- hort, therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men ; for kings and for all in authority : that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty." I pray that God would endue them with His Spirit ; grant them wisdom from above, which is profitable to direct ; make them fearless of men, because so fearful of God ; cause them to be ex- ecutors of the Divine Will ; crown with His blesssing and with success every j)lan which shall be for the real good of our land, and the glory of God. I pray for our Country, — that God would merci- fully interpose in her behalf; converting her from one vast Golgotha into the land of Emanuel. I pray for the Soldiers, — that the Angel of the Lord would encamp round about them ; that God would preserve them in health and morals ; that He would bless them in all their interests for time and eternity, and graciously care for their families and friends as well. I pray for Peace, — for peace in God's own time and way, (and " His ways are not as our ways") — for peace in accordance with God's mind and will, (and "His thoughts are not as our thoughts,") — for peace, which, if God sends, must be righteous and right.
