INTERCESSION
FOR CIVIL SERVANTS Guide, O Lord, we pray Thee, the mayors and councillors of our cities, with all those who share in the ordering of our towns; give strength, honour, a c. charity to all our fellowcitizens, that all their work may be done as in Thy sight, and seeking not the good of party, may ever see before them the vision of that free city perfect in the heavens Whose Builder and Maker is God. May Thy wisdom direct and Thy favour attend and bl«tneir endea . ours to unify our life aim t« direct our labours for the common ■ u od. Deliver all who hold office from fear of vested interests and enabfi ♦hem, through diligent and impartial investigation, to judge between vijphx and wrong, as worthy stewards < t a noble heritage and a future worth lighting for: we ask it for Jesus Clinst, His sake. Amen.
