Yet The Woman as she SKINNED

When The Woman's name was an

the pleasure of going to make fine

Prayer for the Church

o God, we pray for the church
which is set to day amid the
preplexities of a changing order
and face to face with a great
new task. We remember with
love the nurture she gave to our
spiritual life in its infancy,
the tasks she set for our grow
ing strength. the influence of
the devoted hearts she gathers,
the steadfast power for good she
has exerted.
When we compare her with all
other human institutions we re-
joice for there is none like her.
But when we judge her by the
mind of her Master we bow in
pity and contrition. O, baptize
her afresh in the life giving
spirit of Jesus. Grant her a new
birth though it be with the
travail of repentance and humila-
ton. Bestow upon her a more
imperious responsiveness to duty
a swifter compassion with suffer
ing and an entire loyalty to the
will of God. Put upon her lips
the ancient gospel of he Lord.
Help her to proclaim boldly the
coming of the kingdom of God,
and the doom of all that resist it.
Fill her with the prophets scorn
of tyranny and with a spirit like
tenderness for the heavy laden
and down trodden. Give her
faith to espouse the cause Of the |
people and in their hands that
grope after freedom and light to
recognize the bleeding hands of
the Christ. Bid her cease from
her own life, lest she
lose it; make her valiant to give
up her life to humanity, that
like crucifed Lord she may
by the path of the cross
to higher glory.
