A prayer book published by the South
Carolina Tract Society, iu 1863, contains
the following prayer for the use of the
Episcopalians in the seceded States. It
would be difficult to say which is the
most atrocious, its misrepresentations,
its scurrility, its inhumanity, or its blasphemy.
What must be the Christianity
* 3 iJ
that culminates 111 sucn a production ;
O God, Tliou liast ordered human
government so as to make it necessary
and wise that there should be rulers and
subjects, masters and servants, rich and
poor, and that these inequalities of condition
and diversities of rank should be
permanent and inevitable.
From the beginning hitherto Tlieu
hast also, O rigliteous God, associated
the institution of slavery as an organic
torin of involuntary labor with Thy
church and people, thereby securing the
slaves religious teaching and provision
for their temporal wants, and to the
world the lament of service, not otherwise
attainable. Thou hast also in Thy
written Word given us instruction as to
Thy Mill and our duty in the relation of
master and slave, embodying this authoritative
teaching and Divine protection in
Thy holy :uid immutable law, and in the
, teachings of our Lord Jesus Christ and
His apostles.
By Thy holy, wise and powerful providence,
U Lord, Thou hast introduced
slavey into these Southern States, which
Thou liast allotted to our fathers and to
us as a habitation. Thou hust brought
this people among us, and hast mulii.
plied and blessed them, and by their lai?or,
then: social progress, their spiritual
attainments, and their conversion to (rod,
Thou hast ordained out of their month
praise to Thy great name, thai the tongue
of Thine enemies might be stilled, and
Thy wonuer-working providence adored.
And now, 0 Lord, it is time for Thee
to work, for mei have made void Thy
law, and teach for Thy will the commandments
of men, and philosophy,
falsely so called. They consent not to
wholesome words even the words of our
Lord Jesus Christ, nor to the doctrine
which is according to Godliness, but are
proud and destitute of the truth, doting
about questions whereof have come envy,
* *- ? i. mi
srrne, railing accusations against us iuy
people, anil blasphemous speech against
ihy holy Word and Thy righteous name.
i or the truth of Thy AN ord, O Lord,
which is forever established in the heavens
; for the justice and wisdom of Thine
eternal providence and Thy righteousness
and consistency ot Thy dealings with
Thine ancient people, patriarchs, prophets
and apostles, we are persecuted,
defamed and overwhelmed with the miseries
brought upon us by malicious, merciless
enemies, who neither regard God
nor man.
But Thou, 0 Lord, beholdest from
neaven uie rage auu mauness 01 irus people,
who have set themselves against
Thee and against us who reverence Xhy
"Word as the Word of God, and as being
all-profitable lor doctrine and lor instruction
in rigltteousness. And as thou hast
commanded that from such men we
should withdraw ourselves, we now invoke
Thy omnipotent arm for protection.
O Thou that art glorious in holiness,
fearful in pi wises, a God doing wonders,
iu Thy me*cy lead forth Thy people, our
wives, our little ones, our man-servants,
our maid-servants, and guide us in Thy
strength to Tny holy haoitution. Bring
us in and plant us in the mountain of
Tnine inheritance ; in the place, O Lord,
which Thou hast made for us to dwell in;
and may we know by joyful experience
the blessedness of that people whose God
is the Lord, and whose law is Thy sure,
immutable Word, free from the despotic
interpretations and enforcements. Es
tablish us, therefore, (> (fod, us Conletleracy
of States, and build us up ou that
rock of eternal truth against win en the
gates of hell shall not prevail. Unite us
as a people in the indissoluble bonds of
liberty, equality and fraternity. Harmonize
the sovereignty of our states with
Confederate constitutional authority.?
May the spirit of Washington animate
them all, aud lead them ever to seek not
merely their own interests, but also the
common good of all, and to beware of
sectional jealousies and party dissensions.
Look down upon us especially as slaveh
ildiupc Confederacy. As Thou hast beto
wed the blessing given in perpetuity
to tile posterity of Shem and Japhet, do
Tnou ui blessing, bless us, and make

slaves and to the world at large. Let the
, blessing of Abraham, the father of the
faithful, and the friend of God, restnpor
us and upon our servants. Pour out, as
I Thou hast graciously promised to do in
i these latter days, the Holy Spirit upon
1 our sons and our daughters, and upon
j our servants and our hand-maidens, that
; they may call upon the Lord. Preserve
1 our slaves from the fanatical machina'
tions of our enemies, who would delude
and destroy them, and under the promise
j of liberty, reduce them to poverty, barbarism
and exile from the Christian
homes and happiness of their fathers.?
i Imbue their minds with confidence in
, their master, anil with a spirit of cheerful
and loving obedience. May they remain
loyal and true, notwithstanding all
{the temptations with which they are as
sailed ; secure to them their present reli|
gious advantages, and dispose our hearts
; to bo more faithful to their souls, and tc
render unto them things just and equal.
May the issue of this war signally
prove that this battle is the Lord's, and
j that Tliou hast made Thy Word victorij
ous. May atheistic blasphemy and blind
1 fanaticism be openly rebuked, and the
i truth, purity and power of Thy Word,

I Thy providential dejilings toward this

sight of our enemies, and belore all nations
through all generations; and ma)
. glory rust on our land until it shall be
ma le a pra'se in all the earth. Hear, C
Lord, in ^eaven. Thy dwelling-place,
these our humble petitions, with whict
we would plead and wrestle with Thee
Answer them in mercy for Christ's sake,
and abundantly bless. Grant the desires
of our hearts, in accordance with 'ihj

Son and Holy Ghost Amen and amen.
What it* Gold Lace ?
Gold lace is ml gold lace. It doej
not deserve the title, for the gold is ap
' plied as a surface to silver. It is no
even silver lace, for the silver is applier
to a foundation of silk. The Bilker
threads for making this material an
I wound round with gold wire so thickly
' as to conceal the silk ; and the making
i of this gold wire is one of the most sin
; gular mechanical operations imaginable
J ill we nrsi piace, lue reimer picpmco t
solid rod of silver about an inch ii
thickness ; he heats this rod, applies 01
! the surface of a sheet of gold leaf, bur
nislies this down, applies another coating
I burnishes this down, and so on, until th<
| gold is about one hundredth part tlx
j thickness of the silver. Then the rod ii
subjected to a train of processes whicl
; brings it down to the state of a fine wire
! it is passed through holes in a #ee
| plate, lessening step by step in diameter
i The gold never deserts the silver, bm
I adheres firmly to it, and shares all th<
mutations ; it is one hundredth part the
j thickness of the silver at the beginning
and maintains the same ratio to the end,
As to the thickness the gold coated roc
of silver can be brought, the limit de
| pends on the delicacy of human skill
1 but the most remarkable example evei
known was brought forward by Dr. Wol
laston. This was an example of solid golc
wire without any silver. He procured ?
I small rod of silver, bored a hole through
it from end to end, and inserted in this
hole the smallest gold wire he could pro
duce ; he subjected this silver to the
j wire - drawing process, until he had
b.ought it to the tiuest attainable statebeing,
in fact, a silver wire as line as i
hair, with a gold wire in its centre. Tc
! isolate this gold wire he subjected it tc
warm nitrous acid, by which the silvto
was disolved, leaving a gold wire ont
j thirty thousandth of an inch in thicknesf
?Derhans the thinest round wire thai
I band of man has yet produced. Bat the
wire thongh beyond all comparison find
than any employed in manufactures, doe*
not approach in thinness the him of gold
on the surface of silver in gold lace. It
has been calculated that the gold on th<
very finest silver wire for gold lace is nol
one third of one millionth of an inch in
thickness ; that is, not above one tenth
the thickness ->f an ordinary gold leaf.
