WHAT WE PRAY FOB 3IY WIFE AND
Wo pray that our children In years that must come
May ever remember the home of their youth
As their "City of Reruge" for world-worn hearts
Their Eden of Pleasure their "Castlo of Truth;"
The dearest of homes that their hearts ever knew
Tho heaven of memories pacred and sweet
The Holy of Holies of Innocent love
Too saintly and sacred for unhallowed feet!
I. .
i -t:
'
That truths we shall teach them may enter the-heart
And honor he held far more sacred than gold t
And that their affections though wandering far
jtfay come home In the end like sheep to the fold; ' v
.And. when through the world In the years that must come;
Iu poverty plenty or sorrow they rove
'They may think ot tho root that shelters them now ' $.
And ever remember 'the old home with love. 1'
"Wo pray that our teachings bu holy and pure . " " ' '
Tevold of tho selfish pride men ever feel ' 'V''
And when In our closet away from the world i '
And suing for counsel and guidance we kneel
3tfay God In his mercy enlighten our minds -
And lond us the vision of rlght-'seolng sight s
That we through His wisdom may show them the road W jvv 'm-'-!

To know that we taught them In honor andtruth-
With precept and action from headland from heart
And tried with discretion through k'ndness and love
Tho lessons of justice and right to Impart;
"Will bring satisfaction when age shall come' on
And we shall be left In tho old homo alone
When only two chairs "by tho hearthstone shall sit
And nil the sweet laughter of children be gone! '
