"TEACH US TO PRAY"

KATHARINE T. PORTER.

O Father Mind, may I e'er read,
Mark, inwardly digest, and heed
With eager sight, undimmed, untired,
Thy written Word—the page inspired;
Nor errant thought rob consciousness
Of aught which would uplift and bless.
May e'er the lines for me retain
Their erstwhile freshness—may I gain
With each perusal clearer view—
A higher thought of that is true.
Oh, grant me ne'er to rest content
With lower sense of what is meant,
But rise and ever rise, till I receive
All that the writer had to give.
And, Father, this my earnest prayer:
May I obey what I find there!
