Excerpt from Mahlon M. Garland (Late a Representative From Pennsylvania); Memorial Addresses Delivered in the House of Representatives of the United States: Sixty-Sixth Congress, Third Session, February 6, 1921 Eternal Spirit, our Heavenly Father, infinite in Thine attributes, whose judgments are true and righteous alto gether, reveal unto us more clearly Thy purposes and give us the desire, the zeal, the courage to conform our ways to Thine. Continue Thy favors unto us as a people and inspire those in authority with clear vision, high ideals, noble endeavors, that the concurrent branches of government may work together in harmony and in unison with Thee; that we may continue an example to all the world for true, just, and equitable government. And grant that the whole family of mankind under Thy divine inżu ence may become indeed citizens of Thy kingdom; that Thy will may be done in earth as it is in heaven, to the glory and honor of Thy holy name, and the eternal good of mankind. Since we last met, our Father in heaven, two strong, pure and efficient Members of this House have passed over the great divide, leaving the world the poorer for their going. Bless, we pray Thee, those that knew and loved them, especially those bound to them by the ties of kinship, with the eternal hope of the immortality of the soul, revealed in Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at www.forgottenbooks.com This book is a reproduction of an important historical work.
