MY PRAYER
T^ATHER of love, give me the strength and the courage to
* do a man’s work in this work-a-day world; and may 1
never shirk, no matter how great the struggle. 1 do not
pray to be delivered from temptations. When they come,
may 1 meet them in the spirit of a man, calmly and unafraid;
and conquer them because of the strength that is in me. May
1 hear Thy word in books and running brooks and in the
laughter of little children. May I look upon life with clear
and unfettered vision, and get the best that it has for me and
for those dear to me; and may 1 bring somewhat of good to
all who touch elbows with me in the lowly walks of life.
May I at least kiss the hem of the garment of Truth, and
somehow do her some humble service. And at the close of
my short day here may I go without a tremor of fear to
whatever of reward or punishment Thou hast for me in an
other world.—S. B. Underwood.
