EXTRACTED TEXT FROM PAGE:
PRESIDENT: may He Who breathes the breath of life into all men breathe His Spirit into the State of Illinois, and into the United States of America, and into All the Peoples of the Earth, inspiring them to do His Holy Will under the perfect Law of Liberty, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. NOW The Music plays a Recessional March. America and Illinois rise from their seats and descend the steps of the dais.
