The President of the United States has set aside Sunday, September 8, as a day of prayer, when Americans of every creed and denomination, wherever they may be, are asked to pray for a righteous and enduring peace. The call to prayer is as follows:

The American heritage of individual freedom and of government deriving its power from the consent of the governed has from the time of the fathers of our Republic been proudly transmitted to each succeeding generation, and to us of this generation has fallen the task of preserving it and transmitting it to the future. We are now engaged in a mighty effort to fortify that heritage.

Mindful of our duties in the family of nations we have endeavored to prevent the outbreak and the spread of war, and we have raised our voices against international injustice. As Americans and as lovers of freedom we are humbly sympathetic with those who are facing tribulation in lands across the seas.
