Excerpt from The Pennsylvania-German Society, Vol. 23: Proceedings and Addresses at Riegelsville, Pa;, October 4, 1912 Lord, Thou hast been our dwelling place in all genera tions. In Thee our fathers trusted and they never were confounded. Thou didst lead them forth to places they knew not of and wert with them when they built their homes and when they laid the foundations of a govern ment, in which liberty and truth, peace and the free wor ship of Thy name were corner stones. We thank Thee for the heritage to which we are called. May we fulfill the obligations resting upon us. Give us devout and dili gent minds, tender and courageous hearts, steadfast and enlarging faith in Thee and in ourselves and in our fellow men. Give us the Christ-like spirit that it may be our joy to labor patiently, minister unto others generously, and serve daily our country and Thy kingdom. By Thy grace may we so develop, preserve and use our inheritance and talents that we may pass them on to our children with increased value. To-day may the genial cheer, the fra ternal spirit and the grateful word abound. Help us to be sincere in our affections, serious in our work and happy in our fellowship. In all things may Thy name be glori fied, through Jesus Christ, our Lord, Amen. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
