The Sportsman's Prayer
HE following is a copy of the "Sportsman’s Prayer," which hangs in the King’s private room at Sandringham :- Teach me to observe the rules of tj game; Teach me neither to cry for the moon, nor over spilt milk. Help me to distinguish sentiment from sentimentality, cleaving to the one and despising the other. Help me neither to proffer nor receive cheap praise. If I am called upon to suffer, let me be like a well-bred beast who goes hie way and suffers in silence. Teach me to win when I may. If I may not win, then above all J pray, make me a good loser.
