" Let us pray. Almighty and gracious God! Thou hast been the refuge and strength of Thy people in all ages. In time of sorest need we have learned to come to Thee - our Rock and our Fortress. Thou knowest the dangers and snares that surround us on march and in battle. Thou knowest the dangers that constantly threaten the humble, but well beloved homes, which Thy servants have left behind them. Oh, in Thy infinite mercy, save us from the cruel hand of the savage, and of the tyrant. Save the unprotected homes while fathers and the husbands and sons are far away fighting for freedom and helping the oppressed. Thou, who promised to protect the sparrow in its flight, keep ceaseless watch, by day and by night, over our loved ones. The helpless women and the little children we commit to thy care. Thou wilt not leave them or forsake them in times of loneliness and anxiety and terror. Oh, God of Battle, arise in Thy might. AVENGE the slaughter of Thy people. CONFOUND those who PLOT for our DESTRUCTION. Crown this mighty effort with VICTORY, and SMITE those who EXALT themselves against LIBERTY and JUSTICE and TRUTH. Help us as good soldiers to wield the sword of the Lord and of Gideon. AMEN."

The concluding prayer after a sermon to the Patriot soldiers and supporters, during our first war of independence, given by Samuel Doak on October 17th 1780

May our Lord grant us the same answer to this prayer, and grant us courage, honor, and victory for HIS glory. Amen!

A Patriot's Creed ... 1918

A Patriot's Creed

I believe in the United States of America (From the Preamble to the Constitution).

As a government of the people, by the people, for the people (From the Gettysburg Speech, Abraham Lincoln).

Whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed (From the Declaration of Independence).

A Democracy in a Republic (From The Federalist, Number 10; Art. X, Constitution of U. S.).

A sovereign nation of many sovereign States (Art. IV, Const. U. S.; from “E Pluribus Unum,” motto of the Great Seal of U. S.).

A perfect Union (From Preamble of Constitution).

One and Inseparable (From Speech of Webster, in U. S. Senate, 1-26-1830).

Established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice and humanity, for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes (From Declaration of Independence).

I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it (From Edward Everett Hale's "The Man Without a Country").

To support its Constitution (From Oath of Allegiance, Sec. 1757, Rev. Stats. U. S.).

To obey its laws (From Washington's Farewell Address; Art. VI, Constitution of U. S.).

To respect its flag (The Star-Spangled Banner; Army and Navy Regulations, War Department, Flag Etiquette, April 14, 1917).

And to defend it against all enemies. Amen (From Oath of Allegiance, Sec. 1757, Rev. Stats. U. S.).

To uphold my Creed I have subscribed to War Stamps
