Prayer A LMIGHTY God, our Gracious Father, we thank thee for life and light and love. Continue to bless us, we pray thee, and lead us forward. We thank thee for what the years have brought us and for the days of promise just ahead. We thank thee for many homes made happier ; for many schools made richer and fuller of light ; for those mission fields both near and far in which our associates of former years are working; we thank thee for the messages of good will and good cheer that come to us from those who have gone out from these walls ; we thank thee for the spirit of sympathy and helpfulness and courage that has blessed our work and our association here from the beginning. We thank thee for the joy we have in the present and for the hope we have in the future. We pray thee that our school may continue to have abundant and dynamic life. We pray thee that the usefulness and the happiness of all these pupils and teachers may be multiplied and blessed. We pray thee that all the good forces that have given character and strength to our school may be continued and increased. Bless our homes, our state, our country. Help us all to be the best citizens in the making of a better world. Bless the nations who are today in perplexity and distress — give them a vision of truth, a sense of justice, the courage of faith, and the glory of righteousness. And may the kingdoms of this world speedily become the kingdoms of our Lord and of his Christ. Lead us every day in a plain path, O God, our Father ; and in the nights of shadow keep our feet from slipping and our hearts from faltering; and finally bring us into the fulness of victory and joy, through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.
