A Thanksgiving Litany
Leader: For the fair City and world in which we live;
For the crescent splendor of each new morning;
For the growing shadows of evening;
For the mystic meaning of the night;
For the radiance of high noon;
For the songs of birds;
For the crystal whiteness of winter snows;
For the country roads and lanes;
For the traffic of city streets;
People: We praise and thank Thee, Lord and Father.
A Prayer for Our City
Leader o God, we pray Thee for this, the City of our love and pride.
and We rejoice in her spacious beauty and her busy ways of com-
People: merce, in her stores and factories where hand joins hand in toil,
and in her blessed homes where heart joins heart for rest and
love. Help us to make our City the common workshop of our
people, where everyone will find his place and task, keen to do
his best with hand and mind. Bind our citizens together, not by
the bond of money and profit alone, but by the glow of neigh-
borly good-will, by the thrill of common joys, and the pride
of common possessions. May we ever remember that our City's
true wealth and greatness consist, not in the abundance of the
things we possess, but in the justice of her institutions and
the brotherly ways of her citizens. Amen.

THE LAND - - - - - - - - Bishop Lynch
Throughout history, the children of God have ever sought a prom-
ised land, a land flowing with milk and honey, a land in which they
might begin life anew and build a society of their own design.
Not only in Asia and Africa and Europe, but in America as well;
indeed upon this very ground, has land, rich land, beckoned through
the ages to men.
A century of Spanish effort brought no settlers to this region, and
few to other parts of Texas. Anglo-American enterprise, in two
decades, brought into Texas a people capable of throwing off autocracy
and establishing in 1836, a Republic of their own design, upon a
familiar pattern.2
