Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Official Report of the Proceedings of the Seventeenth Republican National Convention: Held in Chicago, Illinois, June 8, 9, 11 and 12, 1920, Resulting in the Nomination of Warren Gamaliel Harding, of Ohio for President and the Nomination of Calvin Coolidge, of Massachusetts for Vice-President So enlighten our minds that we may be unashamed, before men, to seek Thy help, nor unafraid to obey Thy will. So illumine and strengthen us, we beg Thee, that we may cleave steadfastly to the right as Thou dost give us to see the truth; that we may make no compromise of duty for fear of consequences, and nothing doubting where Thou dost show us the path wherein we should walk. O God, fill our hearts with the desire to promote the welfare of our nation, and enable us to serve in loyalty of purpose and singleness of mind. Direct us in all our doings that, in the sacred trust of citizenship, we may please Thee both in will and in deed. Let not strife divide us nor greed corrupt us. Banish, we implore Thee, all that is at enmity with justice, peace and right order. Allay the spirit of unrest; promote the spirit of good will. Call forth the spirit of unselfish service, establish a right fellowship among all men; and, of Thy goodness, enlarge our loyal devotion to Thee, and increase our unwearied, disinterested service to our beloved land. Be with those who are gathered here charged with the grave responsibility of making choice of a fit person whom they may nominate for the high office of leader of this nation and upholder of her welfare. Fill them with a deep sense of their accountability to Thee and to the people whom they represent. Give them both insight and foresight, bestow upon them wisdom and courage, and move them to place the welfare of country and fitness for leadership above personal desire in the fulfillment of their trust and in the opportunity of making a wise choice. For all Thy blessings in ages past, for the priceless heritage bequeathed from our fathers, we give Thee most hearty thanks; praying Thee to be with us at this and all times, to preserve us through all the turmoil and anxieties of these troublous days, in full assurance of Thy presence and Thy continual help wheresoever Thy people ask Thy will and keep Thy commandments. All which we ask through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. Singing Of The Star Spangled Banner The Chairman Of The National Committee. - While standing the Convention will sing The Star Spangled Banner, led by Mr. Albert Edmund Brown, Director of Community Singing, Republican League of Massachusetts, accompanied by the band.
