Signs of the Times

From an article in the Teachers World and Schoolmistress London, England

Whatever changes there may be in the composition of the House [of Parliament], the beautiful prayer with which each day begins will remain unaltered, as it has done since 1660, when the first Speaker's Chaplain was appointed.

In the words of this prayer, the Members of the Commons ask that: "... the result of all our counsels may be to the glory of Thy blessed Name, the maintenance of true Religion and justice, the safety, honour and happiness of the Queen, the publick wealth, peace and tranquillity of the Realm, and the uniting an knitting together of the hearts of all persons and estates within the same, in true Christian love and Charity one towards another."
