the heirs of salvation, bring to us wisdom for every decision, courage in every struggle, and hope for every day. We come to Thee, Our Father, with a special plea. This hour for all of us gathered here is an hour of special moment, and we voice a special prayer. This hour has hovered in our visions, and has been longed for with fear an 1 trembling, yet with a stirring fulness of hope and joy. It is an hour full of meaning to us all, and to the men and women who shall stand here and work here in the years to come. This hour is at once a goal and a beginning : a goal of toilsome progress and the beginning of a glorious work. We give Thee thanks for Thy mercies and blessings, and pray that Thy favor may continue to smile upon us, and that Thou wilt crown our labors with full success. Bless all who have labored for this school hitherto, and all who shall labor for it henceforth in any capacity. Bless the school ; may it become a sacred place — a shrine, as it were, devoted to liberty and to truth. Standing upon this hilltop, under the rising sun, may it grow as a mighty oak or a cedar of ancient Lebanon, and in its shelter may health and glad- ness abound. Like the hills and mountains round about it, may it be strong and steadfast ; like the skies that smile above it, may it be bound- less in its compass and ever full of light ; like the hills and plains that surround it, may it be both fruitful and beautiful ; like all the works of righteousness, may it be fostered and blessed of God. Give these, Thy servants who teach, knowledge and wisdom and power; give the Trustees of the Commonwealth, who shall direct us, foresight and wise discretion ; may all labor unto Thy glory and the good of mankind. And now, O Lord, as we end our petitions, we voice one more special prayer. Bless these young women in their lives and in their work. They hold in their hands the cure of many ills, the key to many joys ; and they too are standing at this hour in the dawn of a great future. The skies are bright above them, and hope calls them forward. Give them grace and strength and wisdom, O Lord, and guide them into usefulness and all those forms of special service for which Thou hast so richly endowed them. Give them hearts of love and sympathy and sincerity, and through them bless the land — the State, the Nation, the World, for Jesus Christ ' s sake, Amen. —21-

drafting, fhptembsx 2B, 19U9 Except the Lord build the house, they labour in vain that build it; except the Lord keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain. Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth. They that trust in the Lord shall be as Mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abideth for ever. As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the Lord is round about his people from henceforth even for ever. He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength. liven the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall: But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and thev shall walk, and not faint. ■jtlratjrr. § rjitnnbrr 28, 1909 ALMIGHTY God, we acknowledge Thee as Creator of the world, of angels and of men ; as the source of life, of knowledge, of truth, and all virtues. We rejoice that Thou art also our Father, who dost love us, and we pray that in the person of the Holy Spirit Thou wilt be our constant guide, and in the person of Thy Son our constant Teacher. May Thy gracious providence compass with mercy all our lives and desti- nies, and may Thy ministering spirits, which are sent forth to minister to —20—
