We especially pray for our country that God would bless it; and oh, that we might have a season of revival of pure and undefiled religion in the land. We perceive that you can turn the hearts of the people, as the trees of the wood are moved in the wind.
Oh that there might come a deep searching of heart, great thoughtfulness of the Scriptures, reverence of God and the principles of justice and peace: and may this land make another stride in onward progress, and out of it may there be gathered a people whom you have chosen, who shall show forth your praise (Isaiah 43:21).
