Save This Nation

In the days of the Civil War, a personal friend of Abraham Lincoln was a visitor at the White House. -1 had been spending three weeks with Mr. Lincoln as his guest. One night I was restless and could not sleep . from the private room where the president slept, I heard low tones, for the door was partly open. Instinctively I wandered in, and there I saw a sight which I have never forgotten. It was the president kneeling before an open Bible . . . his back toward me. I shall never forget his prayer: 'Oh, thou God that heard Solomon in the night when he prayed and cried for wisdom, hear me. I cannot lead these people, I cannot guide the affairs of this nation without thy help . . . 0 God, hear me and save this nation."
