###HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. SATURDAY, April 14, 1866. The House met at 12 oclock to. Rev. C. B. BOYNTON, Chaplain of the House, offered the following rayer: O God! we come before Thee today, impressed with a vivid conseiousness that we are rail, corrupt, and passing away. flea reminded of the uncertainty of our lives, today we have brought before us anew him whom we may justly call the nations dead, and with whom the dead of the Senate and the dead of this House are thus made to address us again from their graves. O Lord, help us to heed this solemn admenition. The business of life has so frequently of late been interrupted by the solemn memorials and admenitious of oath that We should be very unwise if we failed to lay them to heart and now we pray Thee. O Go, that we may profit by these solemn lessons which are brought anew to us here this morning. May we remember how quickly our own lives may and will pass. We cannot tell how many of us ere another year shall roll around will also be called to our account. As those who have been called away have been associated with us in all the concerns of this present life, so we ere long must join them, and be associated with them in all the untried scenes of that eternal world. So may we, O God, number our dayshere as to a ply our hearts unto wisdom, and be prepare to render up our account, as they also have done. We beseech Thee, O God that while the nation is reminded of the life as well as the death of our departed Chief, the people may learn to love better than ever the principles which he professed and in defense of which he died. Great God, may all the actions of the different Depts of the Government converge upon the great object upon which lhy providences also unite the establishment here of one free and Christian nation. where man shall be recognized as man because he bears the image of his Maker, and where God shall be universall acknowledged. We ask and offer all in esus name, to whom be glory forever. Amen On motion of
