Cardinal Nevman's Prayer.
And so I think I may close this word
in asking you to bow your heads and
| join in that prayer which he loved to
pray. and which expresses so sweetly
his own desire in his highest moments,
the prayer OF Cardinal Newman. I am
glad that in this service. in a Presby-
terian church, We can appropriate the
word as well as the thought Of another
church. a great branch OF the church OF
Christ. 1t was a prayer he loved to
pray. Let US bow our heads
30 Lord, keep US all the day long of
this trOUblous life until its shadows
lengthen and the evening comes, and
the voice of the busy world IS hushed
and the fever of life is over and our
work is done. Then. in Thy mercy.
grant us a safe lodging, with holy rest
and peace at the last. Amen, Lord
Jesus, Amen.
