:42:03
and bring succour and guidance
:42:06
to those we're about to bring
to Thy divine notice.
:42:12
First, we're thinking
of Mary Wollaber.
:42:16
She's just 16 years old,
:42:20
but she's keeping company
with a soldier from Fort Dayton.
:42:26
He's a Massachusetts man, O Lord
:42:29
and Thou knowest no good
can come of that.
:42:32
Hallelujah.
:42:37
Now, we're thinking of the sick
and infirm.
:42:42
Peter Paris has the flux real bad.
:42:46
His Uncle Isaac,
who keeps a store in Dayton
:42:50
asks for our prayers
:42:53
and he says that he has got in
a new supply of calicos,
:42:57
French broadcloths,
fancy handkerchiefs,
:43:00
new hats and heavy boots
all at bargain prices.
:43:08
But most of all, we call upon Thee,
Lord Jehovah,
:43:13
O, God of Battles,
:43:15
to aid Thy people
against the Tories,
:43:20
for I have disturbing news for you
that will sorrow this Sabbath.
:43:28
General Washington has advised us
that an enemy army
:43:33
of many Tories and savage Indians
:43:36
is even now on its way
to our beloved valley.
:43:42
Every man capable of bearing arms
between the ages of 16 and 60
:43:48
will report tomorrow morning
to General Herkimer,
:43:53
at which time a regiment
of Washington's Continental Army
:43:58
will arrive from Albany, under
Colonel Fischer, to help us.
