Zachariah Chandler And may we be deeply impressed, by this solemn event, of our own mortality, of the shortness and uncertainty of life, and of the importance of being prepared for our departure; for we know neither the day nor the hour when we shall be called hence. And, O God, we invoke Thy blessing to rest upon another member of this body, whom Thou hast sorely stricken, in removing by death from his companionship the partner of his joys and his sorrows. We invoke Thy blessing to rest upon him in his sore affliction. And if there be any other member upon whom Thou hast laid Thy afflicting hand, we pray that Thou wouldst remember them in great mercy and sanctify their afflictions to them. We commit ourselves and all that are dear to us to Thy guidance and protection. We implore Thy grace, and the forgiveness of all our sins. We pray for our rulers, for the President and Vice-President, the Senators and Representatives in Congress, and for all others in authority. Guide their counsels and lead them to the adoption of such measures as shall redound to Thy glory and to the best interests of our common country. Be Thou their guide and support through all the trials and changes of life; be with them in the solemn hour of death; and finally receive us all into Thine everlasting kingdom, through the riches of grace in Christ, our Redeemer. Amen. Mr. Ferry. Mr. President, the sorrowful duty devolves on me of announcing to the Senate of the United States the recent and sudden death of my late colleague, Zachariah Chandler, of Michigan, which occurred in the city of Chicago, on the 1st day of November just passed.
