Beloved, in that treatise we know as the Sermon on the Mount we read in Matthew five (v.6):

"Blessed are they which hunger

and thirst after righteousness:

For they shall be filled."
Let us pray.

We know, O Lord, that the disciples of Jesus were common men and women, such as we are: plodding, working, hoping, dreaming! Sometimes misunderstanding and sometimes misunderstood! Ambitious! Sometimes wavering and faltering! Enthusiastic! Fearful!

But then we hunger to do the right things! We thirst after the water that sustains life and character!

Help us to hunger and thirst after loyalty, courage, faith and the willingness to take up any burden that is for the good of our people... or of all mankind.

If we can't always win, help us always to try!

Amen.

The PRESIDENT called for Petitions, Memorials, Presentments of Grand Juries and such like papers.
