 We give Thee thAnts, 0 Lord God, pur Father for Thy watchful care which Thou hast exercised over us since we last met together. We thank Thee that all the days Of our lives nave been attended with Thy kindness anu mercy and love. We thank Thee that, with a Fathers care, Thou has ever been watchful of us, and Thou hast ever provided for our every want, and we praise Thee this morning that dur lng all the days of our past Thy mercy and Thy love have been boundiess and free: and we are before Thee this morning. o Lord. With our hearts fill ed with gratitude for Thy fatherly care and for Thy tender mercies. We sso sincerely repent of all of our sins. For give us, O Lord, that we have grteved Thy Holy Spirit, or that we have gone aside from Thy Holy Word. and grant that we may each in our hearts this morning repent of our sins, and feel the presence of Gods Holy Spirit bearing witness with ours that we are His children. Impress upon us. O Lord, that there is no safe course in life, in any department of our great life. save in the Lord. our Master. and that If we will trust Him and be guided by Him in all things. then we shall make of life success in whatever sphere we live and move; but that with God out of our lives, ignoring Him in all we do. and in all that we plan, our lives. in the end. can but result in failure. Help us therefore, O Lord, to realize this dependence upon Thee. and this morn ing to consecrate ourselves anew, soul No a~,Ja nroV that Thou wilt especially bless this as- sembly, O Lord. We thank Thee that the health and strength of Thy servants has been dead in Thy sight. No death. no disaster. has befallen and, and we pray Thee this morning as they as- semble for another weeks duties, that Thou wilt be with them and direct them in all that they say, in all that they do. in all that they plan, and may their work. O Father, rebound to Thine everlasting glory. and to the good of our entire people. May the Lord bless their families at home, and keep them from harm of every kind and may our Father greatly bless our State; bless our Nation; bless those who are in authority over us, and may the Lord help us in all of the walks of life. to honor God. and to live worthy of our divine origin. and of the great calling wherewith we have been called, in Christ Jesus. our Lord. We pray, again, our Father for this Convention. May 1t be a day of great good; may the results accomplished be acceptable unto Thee. and to the people. and may the Lord be with His servants in all the work that lies before them. and when Thy work is completed, may they have the approval of a good conscience. the approval of Heavenly Father. and hear the plaudits of grateful people, 'ayinR well done, good and faithful ertants." Hear us, O Lord, In these, Dur prayers; answer us in great mercy and when we are done serving Thee be- low. and sleep with our fathers, gather us to Thyself in heaven. and there We will praise Thee forever, through Christ our Redeemer. Amen.
