In considering the general place of PRAYER in political and public assemblies, this document may serve to highlight the question.

Reprint of the Prayers provided for the Senate of the United States by its chaplain, Rev. Peter Marshall, 1947-1949.

After Chaplain Peter Marshall died, one of his contemporaries, Clyde W. Park, wrote the final "Prayer on Capitol Hill" also reprinted in this volume. "Peter Marshall's prayers mean something; they appeal not only to the mind, but to the heart and spirit as well." [95]

Noting that the chaplain was a former steelworker and engineer, and his "pretheological experience included some work in a newspaper office", the eulogy notes the duty to speak as "the collective conscience of the assembly", and includes some highlights of humor. I select a few examples:

"We pray for some evidence in what is done here that Thou has been given a vote, and that men have yielded to thee."

"Hear us as we pray for this blundering world, in which nations never seem to learn how to live as brother."

"Spirit of God, come into our hearts and make us sensitive to the sufferings of other people. We think of the victims of flood and mishap and all those who have heavy hearts today. may we so grow in grace that the sympathy we feel for friends may also be felt for strangers."

There was a saying, once reputed to be of general knowledge, that the Chaplain looks at Congress and then prays for the Country.

The vitality and burning conviction of this native Scot led many to liken him to his namesake. He became well known to millions through the writings of his wife Catherine. These sermons were preached from his pulpit at Washington, DC's New York Avenue Presbyterian Church, and the prayers were given in the U. S. Senate, where he was the beloved and inspired chaplain from 1938-49. OCT 2005
