Book Description

Excerpt from James M. Griggs: Late a Representative From Georgia; Memorial Addresses, Delivered in the House of Representatives and Senate of the United States, Sixty-First Congress, Second Session; Proceedings in the House, April 17, 1910; Proceedings in the Senate May 28, 1910 The House met at 12 o'clock nn. Prayer by the Chaplain, Rev. Henry N. Couden, D.D., as follows: Trusting in Thy loving kindness, O Father, we draw near to Thee for that uplift of the spirit which shall put us in harmony with Thee, that we may go forward doing the work that Thou hast called us to do, with faith and confidence in Thee and faith and confidence in the work Thou hast given us to do. Once more, O Father, by the sudden death of one of the Members of this House, beloved and honored by all who knew him, we are reminded of the shortness of life and of its uncertainties, and we pray for him, his soul, and for the mourning widow and his children, that they may be comforted as Thou alone canst comfort, drawing them to the larger life, where they shall as a family once more be brought together, to live with Thee and to do Thy will, in a realm of love and peace and harmony, through Jesus Christ, our Lord.
