A PRAYER From Morning Devotions led by Rev. W. A. Young, Women's Institute Holiday, Guelph. Let me do my work each day, and if the darkened hours of despair overcome me, may I not forget the strength that comforted me in the desolation of other times. May I still remember the bright hours _that found me walking over the silent hills of my childhoodâ€"dreaming on the margin of the quiet river, when a light glowed Within me and I promised my early God to have courage amid the tempests of the changing \‘ears. Spare me from bitterness and from the sharp passions of unguarded moments. May I not forget that poverty and riches are of the spirit. Though the world know me not, may my thoughts and actions be such as shall keep the friendly with myself. Lift my eyes from the earth and let me not forget the uses of the stars. Forbid that I should judge others lest I condemn myself. Let me not follow the clamour of the world, but walk calmly in my path, Give me a few friends who will love me for what I am and keep ever burning before my vagrant steps the kindly light of hope, Though age and infirmity overtake me and I come not within sight of the castle of my dreams, teach me yet to be thankful for life, for nlden memories that are good and sweet~ and may the evening's twilight find me gentle still. it it it * i it i * thanks is due here. too, to Miss Ethel Mc- Naughton. the school‘s attractive young houseâ€" keeper.
