To endless years the same. Under the shadow of Thy throne A thousand ages, in Thy sight, Still may we dwell secure; Are like an evening gone; Sufficient is Thine arm alone, Short as the watch that ends the night And our defense is sure. Before the rising sun. O God, our help in ages past, Our hope for years to come; Be Thou our guide while life shall last, And our eternal home. Amen. INVOCATION Rev. Fred Wollerman A LITANY OF CHURCHES led by Dean Clarence Ficken, O.W.U. (Audience will read words in heavy print) Let us give thanks for the gifts and graces of each division of our religious expression: For the ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH: its glorious traditions; its disci- plines in holiness; its worship, rich with the religious passion of the centuries; its noble company of martyrs, doctors, and saints; WE THANK THEE, O LORD, AND BLESS THY HOLY NAME. For the JEWISH CHURCH: its treasure of the experience of Thyself; its psalms and prophetic writings; its laws for the living of the meaningful life; its prophets, priests and seers; WE THANK THEE, O LORD, AND BLESS THY HOLY NAME. For the great Protestant and evangelical communions: For the ANGLICAN CHURCH: its reverent and temperate ways, through its Catholic heritage and its Protestant conscience; its yearning over the divisions of Christendom, and its longing to be used as a house of reconciliation; WE THANK THEE, O LORD, AND BLESS THY HOLY NAME. For the BAPTIST CHURCH, stressing personal regeneration and the conscious relation of the mature soul to its Lord; WE THANK THEE, O LORD, AND BLESS THY HOLY NAME. http://www.delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/81ef293a6eefef41d7dedb566817de62.jpg 1e754ed91d0e303fe4d972951ef3ed8f Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource Religious Heritage Program of the Sesquicentennial Celebration of the County of Delaware, Ohio (p. 3) Description An account of the resource [page 3] [corresponds to unlabeled page 3 of Religious Heritage Program] For the CONGREGATIONALIST concern for the rightful independence of the soul and of the group; WE THANK THEE, O LORD, AND BLESS THY HOLY NAME. For the LUTHERAN CHURCH: its devotion to the grace of God and the Word of God, enshrined in the ministry of the Word and sacraments; WE THANK THEE, O LORD, AND BLESS THY HOLY NAME. For power among METHODISTS to awaken the conscience of Christians to our social evils; and for their emphasis upon the witness of experience and the fruits of the disciplined life; WE PRAISE THEE, O LORD, AND BLESS THY HOLY NAME. For the PRESBYTERIAN reverence for the sovereignty of God and their confidence in His faithfulness to His covenant; for their sense of the moral law, expressing itself in constitutional government; WE PRAISE THEE, O LORD, AND BLESS THY HOLY NAME. For the great number of FREE CHURCHES, both in town and country place, speaking the gospel of salvation through humble repentence; preaching the Word of God and inspiring their members for conscientious daily living; WE PRAISE THEE, O LORD, AND BLESS THY HOLY NAME. O God, grant unto all these families within Thy great Church, that as they come to sit down in Thy Kingdom, each may lay at Thy feet that special grace and excellence with which Thou in times past hast endowed it, that we may all glorify Thee in all the world. Amen. ANTHEM "Battle Hymn Of The Republic" Peter J. Wilhousky (Sung by the combined choirs of Delaware County) Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord; He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored; He hath loosed the fateful lightning of His terrible swift sword: His truth is marching on. Glory! Hallelujah! I have seen Him in the watchfires of a hundred circling camps; They have builded Him an altar in the evening dews and damps; I can read His righteous sentence in the dim and flaring lamps: His truth is marching on. Glory! Hallelujah! In the beauty of the lilies Christ was born across the sea With a glory in His bosom that transfigures you and me; As He died to make men holy, let us die to make men free, While God is marching on! Glory! Hallelujah! Amen.
