Lead them straight and true; givo strength to their arms, stoutness to their hearts, stead fastness to their faith. They will need Thy blessings, Their road will ,be long and hard. The enemy is strong. He may hurl back our forces. Suc cess may not come with rushing speed, but we shall return again and again; and we know that by Thy grace, and by the righteous ness of our cause, our sons will triumph. They will be sore tried, by night and by day, without rest till the victory is won. The dark ness will be rent by noise and flame. Men's souls will be shak en with the violences of war. These are men lately drawn from the ways of peace. They fight not for the lust of con quest. They fight to end con quest. They fight to liberate. They fight to let Justice arise, and tolerance and good will among all Thy people. They yearn but for the end of battle, for their return to the haven of home. Some will never return. Em brace these. Father, and receive them, Thy heroic servants, into Thy kingdom. And for us at home fathers, mothers, children, wives, sis ters, and brothers of brave men overseas whose thoughts and prayers are ever with them help us, almighty God, to re dedicate ourselves in renewed faith in Thee in this hour of great sacrifice. Many people have urged that I call the nation into a single day of special prayer. But be cause the road is long and the desire is great, I ask that our people devote themselves in con tinuance of prayer. As we rise to each new day, and again when each day is spent, let words of prayer be on our lips, invoking Thy help to our efforts. Give us strength too strength in our daily tasks, to redouble the contributions wa make in the physical and material sup port of our armed forces. And let our hearts be stout, to wait out the long travail, to bear sorrows that may come, to im part our courage unto our sons wheresoever they may be. And, o Lord, give us faith. Give us faith in Thee; faith in our sons; faith in each other; faith in our united crusade. Let not the keenness of our spirit ever be dulled. Let not the impacts of temporary events, of temporal matters of but fleeting moment let not these deter us in our un conquerable purpose. With Thy blessing, we shall prevail over the unholy forces of our enemy. Help us to con quer the apostles of greed and racial arronancies. Lead us to the saving of our country, with our sister nations into a world unity that will spell a sure peace a peace invulnerable to the schemings of unworthy men. And a peace that will let all men live in freedom, reaping the just re wards of their honest toil. They will be done, almighty God. Amen. NIT?
