O Lord our God, God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, we pray that
the mind that was in Him may more and more be found in us. Help us to
offer to what is good anywhere a sympathy in which it may grow and
increase. Grant us a helpful faith in the struggling good in every man,
even as Thou, our Father, dost call us sons while as yet we are but
prodigals, afar off. For Jesus' sake. Amen.
"_Let not then your good be_
_evil spoken of._"
(ROMANS xiv. 16.)
