INTERCESSION
God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble. Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time: casting all your care upon Him; for He careth for you. (1 Peter v, 5-7).
ETERNAL GOD. preserve us. we beseech Thee, from a narrow and egostistical patriotism that blindy refuses to see or to acknowledge the virtues of others. Enlarge our hearts and minds that we may"”harbour no hatred or bitterness towards anyone. Grant us that humble patriotism in which love of country robs us not of our love for other men. In service make us great; in charity may we be strong; in blessing others may we overselves be blessed.
