Not at some future time, dear Lord
But now, just now, the boon | ask
That on my soul Thy grace be poured,
To help me in my God-lent task.
A wisdom far above my own

A soul from Thy white sinless throne
Is mine to mold by word and deed.
Not of myself have l the power
To teach as should my child be

But Thou hast promi sed for each hour
Unfaiing help if it be sought.
To lead Alright, since lead | must,
This life entrusted to my care,
/ need, and ask in sacred trust,
Soul-strength from One who taught
us prayer.

In view of the situation that has

intendency of the SCHOOLS here, l
feel it incum bent upon me at this
time to offer a word of explar a
ton as to the position l have main
tanned toward the candidacy OF
Mr.. Lanning and myself for that
position. The action of the board
in offering me the position, com
ing at that time, was as much a
surprise to ME as to others.
When the offer was made to me
l at once declined to accept until l
could inquire more carefully into
the situation
On conferiug with Mr.. Lanning
l learned that he held the positive
opinion that he had a chance OF
reelection with the new board after
the school election.
For that reason l have steadil,
refused to accept the election un
til after the organization of the
new board, and have sent in my
acceptance only when it became
most clearly evident that he would
not be considered further as a
candidate for the place.
