"When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice:
But when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn."
(The Bible: Proverbs 29:2, King James Version)
"We humbly thank Thee, Almighty God, for the many blessings which Thou hast given to our country, and add this, O Lord, to Thy other mercies, that we may be enabled to use them better to Thy service. O take from among us all contempt of Thy Word and commandments. Break down all the barriers of selfishness and ignorance which keep men from Thee. Convince the impenitent of the misery of sin, and comfort the brokenhearted with the assurance of Thy love. Teach us all to be evangelistic, not in word only, but in everything which we do. This we ask in the name and for the sake of Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen." -- Author Unknown
