A PRAYER
Now, O Lord, Thou art our Fatber; we are the clay and Thou our Potter; and we all are tbe work of Tby band. Leave us not to ourselves; let not Tby work in us come to naugbt or Tby purpose in us be disappointed. Forbid that we should pass tbrougb the diseipMne of life unurged, or tbat its joys should leave no abiding beauty in our souls. Save us, if it must be, even in spite of ourselves. But ratber would we ask tbat we may discern something of the splendour of Tby 'thougbt for us, and day by day be brought into joyful fellowship witb Tby boly will. So that, at last, Thou mayest find satisfaction in us and Teward for all Thy patient toil. — Amen. — Franeis B. James.
