The_War_Prayer
It was a time of great and exalting excitement. The country was up in arms, the war was on, in every breast burned the holy fire of patriotism; the drums were beating, the bands playing, the toy pistols popping, the bunched firecrackers hissing and sputtering; on every hand and far down the receding and fading spreads of roofs and balconies a fluttering wilderness of flags flashed in the sun; daily the young volunteers marched down the wide avenue gay and fine in their new uniforms, the proud fathers and mothers and sisters and sweethearts cheering them with voices choked with happy emotion as they swung by; nightly the packed mass meetings listened, panting, to patriot oratory which stirred the deepest deeps of their hearts and which they interrupted at briefest intervals with cyclones of applause, the tears running down their cheeks the while; in the churches the pastors preached devotion to flag and country and invoked the God of Battles, beseeching His aid in our good cause in outpouring of fervid eloquence which moved every listener. It was indeed a glad and gracious time, and the half dozen rash spirits that ventured to disapprove of the war and cast a doubt upon its righteousness straightway got such a stern and angry warning that for their personal safety's sake they quickly shrank out of sight and offended no more in that way. Sunday morning came - next day the battalions would leave for the front; the church was filled; the volunteers were there, their faces alight with material dreams - visions of a stern advance, the gathering momentum, the rushing charge, the flashing sabers, the flight of the foe, the tumult, the enveloping smoke, the fierce pursuit, the surrender! - then home from the war, bronzed heros, welcomed, adored, submerged in golden seas of glory! With the volunteers sat their dear ones, proud, happy, and envied by the neighbors and friends who had no sons and brothers to send forth to the field of honor, there to win for the flag or, failing, die the noblest of noble deaths. The service proceeded; a war chapter from the Old Testament was read; the first prayer was said; it was followed by an organ burst that shook the building, and with one impulse the house rose, with glowing eyes and beating hearts, and poured out that tremendous invocation -- "God the all- terrible! Thou who ordainest, Thunder thy clarion and lightning thy sword!" Then came the "long" prayer. None could remember the like of it for passionate pleading and moving and beautiful language. The burden of its supplication was that an ever-merciful and benignant Father of us all would watch over our noble young soldiers and aid, comfort, and encourage them in their patriotic work; bless them, shield them in His mighty hand, make them strong and confident, invincible in the bloody onset; help them to crush the foe, grant to them and to their flag and country imperishable honor and glory -- An aged stranger entered and moved with slow and noiseless step up the main aisle, his eyes fixed upon the minister, his long body clothed in a robe that reached to his feet, his head bare, his white hair descending in a frothy cataract to his shoulders, his seamy face unnaturally pale, pale even to ghastliness. With all eyes following him and wondering, he made his silent way; without pausing, he ascended to the preacher's side and stood there, waiting. With shut lids the preacher, unconscious of his presence, continued his moving prayer, and at last finished it with the words, uttered in fervent appeal,"Bless our arms, grant us the victory, O Lord our God, Father and Protector of our land and flag!" The stranger touched his arm, motioned him to step aside - which the startled minister did - and took his place. During some moments he surveyed the spellbound audience with solemn eyes in which burned an uncanny light; then in a deep voice he said "I come from the Throne - bearing a message from Almighty God!" The words smote the house with a shock; if the stranger perceived it he gave no attention. "He has heard the prayer of His servant your shepherd and grant it if such shall be your desire after I, His messenger, shall have explained to you its import - that is to say, its full import. For it is like unto many of the prayers of men, in that it asks for more than he who utters it is aware of - except he pause and think. "God's servant and yours has prayed his prayer. Has he paused and taken thought? Is it one prayer? No, it is two - one uttered, the other not. Both have reached the ear of His Who heareth all supplications, the spoken and the unspoken. Ponder this - keep it in mind. If you beseech a

The CEO of Toyota said, "This New Engine Will Destroy the Entire EV Industry!"
Toyota is doing something new in its garage! And this is no ordinary vehicle. We are talking about a brand new, revolutionary hydrogen vehicle! So you may have heard of the Mirai, Toyota's hydrogen vehicle that uses fuel cells to generate electricity. But now Toyota has come up with something completely different. They call it the new hydrogen combustion engine. This technology can change the automotive industry! Unlike other all-electric automakers, Toyota is taking a different path. But it's not just about being different—it's about being better. So, let's dive in! Let's talk about Toyota's new hydrogen combustion engine, how it works, and what it means for the industry! We all know the planet is in trouble somewhere, and according to globalcitizen.org, the transportation industry is responsible for a whopping 15 percent of global carbon dioxide emissions. And it's no secret that traditional internal combustion engines have significantly contributed to the pollution problem, and while electric cars are certainly gaining in popularity, they're not the only solution, as some might argue. Enter Toyota's new branch in its versatile model of carbon neutrality: the hydrogen internal combustion engine. Hydrogen is the most common element in the universe and has the highest specific energy density of any non-nuclear energy source. It is emission-free and non-toxic, and it can be generated from multiple sources, stored indefinitely, and delivered relatively easily. Millions of metric tones of hydrogen are produced and used every year, and it is already used as an energy source in buildings, electric cars, trucks, ships, and trains. So what's wrong with hydrogen engines? Well, they have a longer range and don't need to be charged like electric cars. And the only byproduct that comes out of the exhaust is water! That's right, no harmful additives. Now you may be wondering how all this works. All hydrogen engines use a fuel cell that converts hydrogen into electricity. It's like magic, but with science. And did you know that Toyota began reducing the use of fossil fuel vehicles in 1997 when it introduced the Prius? They have been on the environmental bandwagon for some time now. But they are not the only ones. Automakers around the world are working to create environmentally friendly solar, electric, and hydrogen cars. It's not just about saving the planet; it's about ensuring energy security, improving air quality, and minimizing environmental impacts. And once hydrogen is produced, its distribution is efficient and cost-effective. Most hydrogen fueling stations for new vehicles produce hydrogen on site by electrolysis using 100% surplus renewable energy. And the best part? These plants are in tanks and only need water and electricity to operate. Electricity is supplied through green tariffs or, in some stations, directly from on-site solar or wind power. Toyota now claims to have created a new way to harness the power of hydrogen. Their design team recently unveiled the Corolla Cross H2 concept, a prototype of a new hydrogen-powered car. Toyota has been working on a new hydrogen-electric car that differs from the fuel cell technology that powers its latest hydrogen car, the Toyota Mirai. The idea of using a hydrogen internal combustion engine is not new. One of the pioneers in the game was German automaker BMW, which launched the 750HL in 2002, followed by the Hydrogen 7 in 2005. The BMW Hydrogen 7 was based on the traditional gasoline-powered 6.0-litre V-12, but with some modifications. It burns hydrogen and gasoline. It's a dual-fuel engine! And to make it even cooler, only 100 of these bad guys were made.
