draper ALMIGHTY Father of love, wisdom, and power: thy people here in this temple of light give thee glory and honor. From year to year thy mercies have crowned our lahors, and from day to day thou hast led us on. Be with us still! In this full hour of bless- ing and opportunity and need we sing thy praise and we invoke thy favor. Bless the young women of Virginia that are here assembled. May they truly become prophetesses of God, to whom the children of the land may safely come for counsel and for judgment. May the life and the honor of Virginia be safe in their hands. In the schools and in the homes may their voices be heard, and may each school be a temple and each hearth a shrine because of them. And if ever in any crisis the courage of Virginia manhood should fail, may the valiant spirit of Virginia womanhood, like Deborah of Israel, cry out, Up! this, this, and no other is the day! And in every day of crisis, in every hour of duty, when the hosts of God are called for battle to the heights of Kedesh, may the women of our land rise up with the men, strengthening their hearts, inspiring ' hem with valor, and pointing them to victory. May our labors here be a helpful preparation for all good work hereafter. In Christ ' s name we pray, Amen.
