Then the school will be seated.

5. Hymn-selected.

6. Here will be opportunity for any customary or special exercise; Or for a five minute sermon or address.

1. Thou Lord of Life! whose tender care Hath led us on till now,

We in the qui- et hour of prayer, Before thy presence bow.

Supt.: Ye shall go out with joy and be led forth with peace. [Isa. iv. ̧

Supt.: Blessed are the poor in spirit, the meek, the merciful, the

pure in heart.

[Num. vi.]

[Mat. v.]

men.

2. Praise ye the Lord, who with majesty ruleth in all things:
Who thee preserves and upbears as on pinions of eagles:
Who thee upholds when by thyself thou wouldst fall.
Verily, hast thou not known it?

3. Praise ye the Lord, who prepareth thy way in his wisdom; When thy strength faileth, he keepeth thy feet for his love's sake. In what great need hath not the merciful God

Spread his wings over his children?

4. Praise ye the Lord, and behold with thine eyes all his mercies: Out of the heavens his love raineth like unto rivers.

Think, O thou man, what is the might of his hand
Who daily meets thee with blessings.

Then the school will be seated again.

3. Then will be read and sung these responses.

How much better is it to get wisdom than gold!

Yea, to get understanding is rather to be chosen than silver.
Better is it to be of a humble spirit with the lowly
Than to divide the spoil with the proud.

The hoary head is a crown of glory,

If it be found in the way of righteousness.

He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty,

And he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city. [Prov. xvi.] Honor thy father and mother both in word and deed,

That a blessing may come upon thee from them.

My son, help thy father in his age,

And grieve him not as long as he liveth:

And if his understanding fail, have patience with him,

And despise him not when thou art in thy full strength.

Many are in high place and of renown;

But mysteries are revealed unto the meek.

For the power of the Lord is great and he is honored of the lowly.

Let no man think lightly of evil,

Saying in his heart, It will not come near me.

Let no man think lightly of good,

Saying in his heart, It will not benefit me.

If any live a hundred years ignorant and unrestrained,

A life of one day is better if a man be wise and reflecting:

If any live a hundred years not seeing the highest iaw,
A life of one day is better if a man see the highest law.

Will any one for one day apply his strength to virtue:

[Buddha.]

I have not seen the case in which his strength is insufficient. Virtue is not left to stand alone;

Gloria. (Music as before.)

Glory be to the Father who is in heaven :

The High and | Holy One!

As it was in the beginning, is now, and | ever | shall be ;
Worlds without | end. A- men.

4. Prayer.

From whence cometh my help? My help cometh from the Lord who made heaven and earth. [Ps. cxxi.]

Then the school will stand.

Heavenly Father, let thy blessing rest upon us, and give us strength. Help us to follow the voice of conscience, and to obey thy laws, not with eye-service, but heartily. Whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure. whatsoever things are lovely, may we think of these things.

Then all will read in unison,

Holy Father, may we love the truth and speak the truth. May we be kind one to another, tender-hearted, forgiving one another, holding no anger or malice. Help us, we pray thee, to overcome our faults and the sin which easily besets us. And when we are tempted to do wrong, may from the evil. Amen.

the thought of thee keep us
