Give unto the Lord tho glory due onto His name: bring an offering, and eome into His courts." I'selm 96. - A PRAYER FOB WORKINGMEN. "O God, thou mightiest worter of ths universe, source of all strength and author of all unity, we pray Thee for our broth ers, the industrial workers of the nation. As their work binds them together, In common toil and danger, may their hearts lie knit together in a strong sense of their common - interescts .and destiny. Help them to realize that the Injury of one Is the concern of all, and that the welfare al Imnst be the aim of every one. Lest any of them be tempted to sell his birth right for a mess of pottage for himself, give him a wider outlook and a nobler sympathy with his fellows. Teach them to keep step in a steady onward march, and in their own way to fulfill the law of Christ by bearing the common bur dens! Amen. WALTER RAU8CHENBUSCII.
