 We thank Thee Our Father for the large degree of kindness with whict Thou hast blest Thy servants. We thank Thee Oh God for the pleasant surroundings Thou hast given them. we thank Thee that Thou hast given them q reasonable portion of health and strength, and hast enabled them to do the work which they have been called to do. We pray Thee Our Enther that each and every one of them may realize the responsibilities and the privileges which Thou hast given them. We pray Thee Our Father to bless the presiding officer during: this day and all of his assist ants.

These blessings we ask for the Redeemer's sake. Amen.
