Help us all, Heavenly Father, to meet the discipline of life with
stouter hearts. May we all try harder to cultivate the Christ-like mark
of charity. And spite of our many sins and shortcomings, and our poor
love of Thee, grant us the courage to believe that all things, in Thy
great Love for us, are working together for our good. We ask it for
Jesus' sake. Amen.
"_He that observeth the wind_
_shall not sow, and he that_
_regardeth the clouds shall not_
_reap._"
(ECCLESIASTES ii. 4.)
