WOODROW WILSON, SEP. 8, 1914, NATIONAL DAY OF
PRAYER & SUPPLICATION AT ONSET OF WORLD WAR I:
Whereas great nations of the world have taken up arms against
one another and war now draws millions of men into battle...And
Whereas in this as in all things it is our privilege and duty to seek counsel
and succor of Almighty God, humbling ourselves before Him, confessing
our weakness and our lack of any wisdom. equal to these things...
Therefore, I, Woodrow Wilson, President of the United States
of America, do designate...a day of prayer and supplication and do
request all God-fearing persons to repair on that day to their places of
worship there to unite their petitions to Almighty God that, overruling
the counsel of men, setting straight the things they can not govern or
alter, taking pity on the nations now in the throes of conflict, in His
mercy and goodness showing a way where men can see none....Praying
also to this end that He forgive us our sins, our ignorance of His holy will,
our wilfulness and many errors, and lead us in the paths of obedience.
