Excerpt from Memorial Addresses: Delivered in the House of Representatives of the United States, Sixty-Fifth Congress, Third Session, March 2, 1919 The House met at 11 o'clock a. m. The Chaplain, Rev. Henry N. Couden, D. D., offered the following prayer: Eternal and everliving God, our Heavenly Father, we bless Thee for that spirit of patriotism and profound gratitude which moves the people throughout our Nation, yea, throughout the world, to hold in sacred memory the birth of him whom we delight to call the Father of his Country. We thank Thee for the mentality which enabled him to grasp and solve great problems, for the divination which enabled him to penetrate the future and predict results, for the splendid personality which enabled him to command men and lead them to victory, for the fervor of his religious convictions which enabled him to rely upon Thee for strength and support and which brought him to his knees at Valley Forge - the darkest hour in that struggle for liberty, right, and justice. Long may his memory live in the hearts of his countrymen and longer yet his deeds inspire men to truer, nobler life. We are shocked by the news from oversea, that a Member of this House, ever active and conspicuous for his work, has passed to the beyond. Comfort his friends and admirers, his bereaved wife, and those to whom he was near and dear with the blessed hope of the immortality of the soul through Him who died and rose again. Amen.
