Excerpt from Minutes of the Proceedings of Meeting of the General Society: Held October 12th, 1897, at Cincinnati, Ohio Inspire us with a sense of the responsibilities which our fathers have given to us. Quicken us in the right. Lead us to do Thy divine purpose, and through Thy holy guidance bring us at last into the great union of Thine elect where all the world's battles are past, and we shall enjoy rest and peace with Thee in Thy everlasting kingdom, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. The Chair: The Secretary will now read to you the resolution under which this adjourned meeting from the Philadelphia meeting has been called. Mr. Harris read the call, as follows: "General Society, Office of General Secretary, No. 146 Broadway, New York, September 19th, 1897. Dear Sir: Pursuant to resolutions passed at its meeting held April 19th, 1897 (copies of which are attached to this notice), a meeting of the General Society, Sons of the Revolution, will be held at the Grand Hotel, in the city of Cincinnati, Ohio, at eleven o'clock A.
