“Prayers for Our Country.”

—The American Humane Education Society, through its president, Geo. T. Angell, and organ, Our Dumb Animals, “representing over thirty thousand bands of mercy,” “earnestly asks every clergyman in America to pray in his home and in his pulpit the Almighty to save our nation from the curse of war—and that union prayer-meetings be held so far as possible in all our churches for the same purpose. If this is faithfully done, we shall have no war.” And this last is doubtless true; but for what can we hope in this quarter, when so many of these clergymen are preaching war?
