Society and Industry — Local Government
H. F. LeatherlandO God, who dost gather thy children together, that they may prepare a city for habitation and dwell together in unity: We pray for all who bear authority in our cities, our towns, and our parishes; for local government officers, and all who give their time and energy in caring for the common good. Grant them to plan and work for thy glory, and the delight of man. And continue to raise up, we beseech thee, men and women who offer service to the community as a vocation from thee; through Jesus Christ our Lord.
