lin Hiemnriam Almighty God, of whose righteous will all things are and were created. Thou hast gath- ered our people out of many lands and races into a great nation. We commend to Thy overruling providence the men and women of our forces, by sea, by land, and in the air, Beseeching Thee to take into Thine own hands both them and the cause they serve. Be Thou their strength when they are set in the midst of so many and great dangers. And grant that whether by life or by death, they may win for the whole world the fruits of their sacrifice and a just peace. Guide, we beseech Thee, the nations of the world, into the way of justice and truth, and establish among them that peace which is the reward of righteousness. Make the whole people of this land equal to our high trust, reverent in the use of freedom, just in the exercise of power, generous in the protection of weakness. Enable us to guard for the least among us the freedom we covet for ourselves: make us ill content with the inequalities of opportunity which still prevail among us. Preserve our union against all the divisions of race and class which threaten it. And now may the blessing of God Almighty rest upon this whole land: may He give us light to guide us, courage to support us, charity to unite us, now and forever more. Amen. SGT. IOSEPI-I BOARTS PVT.
