O Lord our God, we thank Thee for this one straight road out of our
doubts, and the difficulties we so often make for ourselves. We bless
Thee for the stedfast certainty that no man, who will rise and follow
what light he has, shall finally be left in darkness. By doing shall we
come to know. As we go upon our clear duty, other truths become more
clear. It is our Lord's own doctrine, and in His Name we pray that Thou
would'st help us to learn it. Amen.

_door of hope._"
