Intercession: A Sermon Preached by the Rev. B. N. Michelson, B.A.

A wartime sermon delivered for a day of national intercession urges unity of faith and the cultivation of prayer alongside practical charity. It examines recent atrocities in historical and psychological perspective, warns against vengefulness, and advocates a peace grounded in justice with accountability for war crimes. The speaker emphasizes support for soldiers, the wounded, and suffering civilians—highlighting relief efforts for the occupied—and calls for personal and communal duty to alleviate need. Themes of sacrifice, moral restraint, and the hope that victory be accompanied by spiritual renewal and international reconciliation are woven throughout.
