A Pointed Petition in Chaplain's Prayer
1903
When Chaplain Russell of the Missouri house prays he wants the members to give attention. His prayers being sent up especially for them, he thinks it unseemly for them not to listen. Having observed that the members did not attend to what he said the Rev. Mr. Russell wafted the following petition up to the throne of grace a few mornings ago:
"O, Lord, I ask that those in this house who rise to their feet for prayer may not continue to read on their papers while the chaplain prays. Grant that they may have some respect for God if they have not for the chaplain." — Kansas City Journal.
