Excerpt from Memorial Addresses: Life and Character of Francis Browne Stockbridge; Delivered in the Senate and House of Representatives, Fifty-Third Congress, Third Session Rev. W. H. Milburn, D. D., the Chaplain of the Senate, made the following prayer: O Eternal God, enveloped in a thick cloud of sorrow we come before Thee to-day and pray that Thou wilt grant Thy blessing to the Senator from Alabama, bereft by the loss of his beloved wife, and to the wife who is widowed by the death of the Senator from Michigan. Shine upon them, O Lord Christ, with Thine infinite tenderness and human sympathy in this the time of their bereavement and grief, and stretch forth Thy hand to succor, and comfort, and bless them. Thou only art our refuge in the time of our loss and pain. But we bless Thee that we may trust in Thine infinite mercy, for Thou art touched with the feelings of our infirmities.
