Excerpt from Proceedings of the Constitutional Convention of the Proposed State of Oklahoma: Held at Guthrie, Oklahoma, November 20, 1906 to November 16, 1907

Henry S. Johnston, of Perry, Oklahoma, Delegate-elect from the 17th District, arose and spoke as follows: The hour having arrived for the opening ceremonies of this Convention you will arise and attend prayer. The Rev. Frank Naylor, of Pawnee, will lead our thoughts in supplication to the Divine Presence.

The Rev. Frank Naylor then offered a prayer as follows: A] mighty and everliving God, we are devoutly thankful to Thee for the Providence that has brought us to this good hour. We thank Thee that from the conditions of a most discouraging nature, and struggles with poverty and disappointment, Thou hast made it possible for the condi tions that obtain here today. We have been sent here in an earnest endeavor to frame a great Constitution for a great people and for generations which shall follow us. Thou hast not forgotten us in the past, we are needy now and ask Thee to continue Thy protective care over us. God bless the great mass of men, women and children who are anxiously awaiting the work of this body. Bless the men all over our State who earn their bread by the sweat of their brow. May their interests be carefully guarded.

God bless the President of the United States and all in authority. Preserve the peace of our Nation.
