Wants to share proclamation
Dear Editor of Our Journal, I was so touched when I read this proclamation issued more than 110 years ago. I want to pass it on to you and the citizens It reads. “By the President Os The United States Os America, a proclamation for a day of national humiliation, fasting and prayer. Whereas the Senate of the United States devoutlyrecognizing the Supreme Authority and just Government of Almighty God in all affairs of men and of nations, has by a resolution. requested the President designate and set apart a day for national prayer and humiliation; And whereas it is the duty of nations as well as of men, to own their dependence upon the overruling power of God. to confess their sins and transgressions in humble sorrow, yet with assured hope that genuine repentance will lead to mercy and z pardon; and recognize the sublime truth announced in the Holy Scriptures and proven by all history that those nations only are blessed whose God is the Lord: And insomuch as we know that by his divine law. nations, like individuals, are subject to punishments and chastisements in this world, may. we not justly fear that awful calamity of civil war. which now desolates the land, maybe’ be a punishment inflicted upon us for our presumptious sins, to the needful end of our national as a whole people? ‘We have been the recipients of the choicest bounties of Heaven.
CROP holds domestic disaster seminar
. On July 8 and 9. CROP — the Community Hunger Appeal of Church World Service — held a domestic disaster sminar on the campus of Manchester college.. North Manchester. This two-day seminar was the opening segment of CROP’S annual staff conference. At the seminar, directors from the 17 CROP regional offices discussed and defined their role in responding to domestic disasters. While CROP has, for the last 27 years, always responded to disasters, especially as administrators of the church world service clothing appeal, which sends blankets and clothing to disaster victims, the widespread devastation caused by recent tornados and floods call for a reevaluation of CROP'S disaster relief role The emphasis of the seminar was on coordinating the activities of church groups with other agencies during the reclamation and rebuilding immediately following the disaster Featured speaker at the seminar was Melvin B. Myers, director of the material resources program and coordinator for US disasters for Church World Service. Myers talked on the role of CWS in disaster relief, past and present Discussions were led by Rev. John Thomas and Rev. Lowell Brown. CROP directors who recently served as CWS resource persons to disaster areas. Thomas; Oklahoma CROP director, was instrumental in coordinating relief activities in the Xenia. Ohio, area following the April 3, 1974 tornado devastation. He presented his conclusions drawn from many hours working as liason between the Xenia-Greene county interfaith council and Metropolitan churches united of Dayton. Thomas also talked about his
We have been preserved these many years Un peace and prosperity. We nave grown in numbers and wealth and power as no other nation has ever grown, but we have forgotten God. We have forgotten the gracious hand which preserved us and multiplied and enriched and strengthened us and we have vainly imagined, in the deceitfulness of our hearts, that all these blessings were produced by some superior wisdom and virtue of our own. Intoxicated with unbroken success, we have become too self-sufficient to feel the necessity of redeeming and preserving grace, too proud to pray to the God that made us' It behooves us then to humble ourselves before the offended power, to confess our national sins, and to pray for clemency and forgiveness. 'Now therefore in compliance with the request and fully con : curving with the views of the Senate, I do, by this proclamation, designate and set apart Thursday, the 30th day of April 1863 as a day of national humiliation, fasting and prayer: And I do hereby request all the people to abstain on that day from their ordinary secular pursuits, and to unite at their several places of public worship and their respective homes in keeping this day Holy to the Lord, and devoted to the humble discharge of the religious duties proper to that solemn occasion ‘All this being done in sincerity and truth, let us then rest humbly in the hope authorized by the
recent work among tornado-floods victims in Oklahoma. Brown, Illinois CROP director, shared his experiences while assisting the Indiana council of churches in their disaster relief efforts following the April tornados Rev. Herbert J. Burdsall, associate field director of CROP and coordinator of the domestic disaster seminar, commented. “The time has come for more than sending blankets and clothing. While such immediate relief is, and will always be. needed and given, we have to find better ways for the victims to rebuild their lives. Many local agencies, and almost all local church councils and groups, are unequipped to deal with all of the personal problems and questions that arise out of a disaster. That’s why we’ll be working at the seminar to pass on the knowledge, especially the experiences of some of our directors. that will allow CROP directors across the country to give immediate, professional assistance whenever and wherever a disaster may strike the United States.’’ reminds Indiana travelers of an often over-looked state law. “The law prohibits nonlicensed persons from bringing into the state more than a quart of liquor or wine on which Incbana alcoholic beverage tax has not been paid,” Clark explained. The law allows only duly licensed alcoholic beverage carrier permit holders to bring quantities of liquor or wine into the state And then the law stipulates their alcoholic, beverage tax obligations. Clark noted that persons caught violating the provisions of the act are subject to seizure of the liquor or wine, confiscation of the vehicle used to bring it into the state, and upon a felony conviction imprisonment far up to two years.
Divine teachings, that the united cry of the Nation will be heard on high and answered with blessings, no less than the pardon of our national sins, and restoration of our now divided and suffering country, to its former happy condition of unity and peace. ‘ln witness whereof. I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed. ‘Done at the City of Washington this 30th day of March, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and sixty-three, and the Independence of the United States the eightyseventh” The proclamation was signed. Abraham Lincoln, president. Praise God for the proclamation of prayer, of fasting for humiliation of repentance for our nation on April 30 of that year. How we need more Lincoln hearted men. We need to absolutely pray for our leaders and humble ourselves before the almighty God. Use your own judgement about this. I felt lead to write it. Hope you will excuse the mistakes. Sincerely.
