And as you leave us. we would Tain sTreTch our hands above your heads, and, like The paTriarchs oT old, Tondly invoke upon you Those special blessings reserved Tor TirsT-born sons. Dear Lord and Saviour, we would pray, 'iThou Too didsT have disciples-didsT waTch Them grow noT only in years buT in wisdom and grace-didsT Truly sorrow aT The lasT breaking oT bread wiTh Them-didsT enTreaT Thy FaTher ThaT They would bear TruiT, and ThaT Their TruiT would remain. Thou dosT undersTand The aTTec- Tion in our hearTs, our priesTly hearTs, lor These our disciples, our concern Tor Their TuTure. We ask success Tor Them: success noT merely in The making oT Their livings, buT in The mak- ing oT Their lives. We shall noT grieve if They Tail To become leaders ol men-so long as They are Tollowers oT Thee: shall noT Coll iT Tragedy if They are poor in purse-so long as They are rich in virTue: shall noT disown Them if They Tail To own mansions in This or in any oTher ciTy on earTh--so long as They own a mansion in Heaven. We ask, dear Lord, merely ThaT Thou make Them good men, according To Thy divine image oT goodness. For we know ThaT, il They seek TirsT The kingdom oi heaven, all Things else shall be added unTo Them. Amen.
