Reprint of the Prayers provided for the Senate of the United States by its chaplain, Rev. Peter Marshall, 1947-1949.
After Chaplain Peter Marshall died, one of his contemporaries, Clyde W. Park, wrote the final "Prayer on Capitol Hill" also reprinted in this volume. "Peter Marshall's prayers mean something; they appeal not only to the mind, but to the heart and spirit as well." [95]

The vitality and burning conviction of this native Scot led many to liken him to his namesake. He became well known to millions through the writings of his wife Catherine. These sermons were preached from his pulpit at Washington, DC's New York Avenue Presbyterian Church, and the prayers were given in the U. S. Senate, where he was the beloved and inspired chaplain from 1938-49. OCT 2005
