LEADTR--We have come to our closing hour. ‘Before
our last handclasp, our farewells to each other, let us
reaffirm our faith in our country by repeating togetiner
the American's creed:

#T believe in the United‘States of America as a

government of the veople, by the people, for the

people: whose just powers are derived from the con-

sent of the governed; a democracy in a republic, a

sovereign Nation of many sovereign States; a perfect

Union, one and inseparatle; established upon those

principles of freedom, equality, justice, and human-

ity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives
and their fortunes.”

“Therefore, I believe it is my duty to my country
to love it; to support its Constitution; to obey its
laws; to respect its flag; and to defend it against
all enemies. --"Jilliam Taylor Page.
LRADER+-Lord, Thou hast been our dwellins place in all
generations. ;

UNTSON--So tecech us to number our deys, that we may
apply our hearts unto wisdom. :

LIADTR--Let Thy work apvear unto Thy servants, and Thy
glory uhto their children.

UNTCON--And let the beauty of the Lord our God be upon
us, and establish Thou the work of our hands upon us; yea
the work of our hands estebiish Thou it.

(Verses from the Ninetieth Psalm).
Music
: Now the day is over
Night is drawing nigh
Shadows of the evening
Steal across the sky.
When the morning wakens
Then may we arise
Pure and fresh and sinless
In Thy holy eyes.
Tans--Billy Joe Murphy,
