O God, quench in us all which is selfish, idle, mean, and quicken to life
in us all which is God-like and for God, that so we may attain at last to
the true glory, the glory which comes, not from selfish ambition, not
from selfish pride, not from selfish ease, but from getting rid of
selfishness in all its shapes--the glory which Christ alone has in
perfection--the glory before which every knee will one day bow whether in
earth or heaven--even the glory of doing our duty, regardless of what it
costs us, in the station to which each of us has been called by his
Father in Heaven.
Amen.
