Ilrager LMIGHTY FATHER of the ages, we thank Thee A that truth is eternal, but that knowledge and wis- dom may increase with every generation. We thank Thee that the light of a thousand years is shining upon our path this morning, and that the fires we shall kindle today may burn for all the future. We thank Thee that Thou hast given us an object- lesson of divine adjustment and of social efficiency in the structure of our bodies, and that Thou hast made a place in every body, both personal and social, for the small as well as the great. We thank Thee that Thou hast filled earth and heaven with infinite variety, so that every manner of gift and every form of service may have a place. Help each one of us today, and every day. to find and fill our place. May we have not only gifts of skill but Thy grace also, that whatever we have to do, here or elsewhere, may be done with cheerfulness, with diligence, and with fervent spirit. Grant us patience in trial and disappointment, and help us to seek often the gates of prayer. And as we labor give us hope — not the hope of mere reward, but the hope of good success — that our hearts may be strong and that every duty may be sought with joy. We pray in Jesus ' name, Amen.
