BEGINNING THE DAY
(Supplied by the Council of Christian Congregations.) " £ Text. —But let patience have her perfect work. James, 1; 4. Verse.— • Ere I sleep, for every favour This day showed By my God, I will bless my Saviour. So, whene're in death I slumber. Let me rise With the wise. Counted in their number. —John Cenniek. Prayer.—Create in us a gentle patience, 0 Friend of Humble Fishermen, for the doubling sluggard, the laggard learner, the puny planner, the pliant promiser, the sluggard servant, the disconcerting disciple, peradventure they may yet glorify Thee as faithful stewards. Quiet, 0 Master, the temper that is born of harassing heat, drivingduties, or pothering perplexities. Purpose us to uncover virtues when our meaner nature would discuss vices, and to call out the best instead of perversely arousing the worst in folks. Flood our nature with sympathy sufficient to insure an enduring patience with everyone. May restful sleep relax and recreate our powers when the day jo ilnnn; for Thov name sake. Amen.
