DAY THIRTY FIVE

A TEACHER'S PRAYER

BY

NELLIE PEASE GORBETT

Each time before I face my class, I hesitate a while,

And ask the Father, "Help me, Lord, to understand each child.

Help me to see in every one a precious soul,  most dear;

And may I lead that child through paths of wonder, not of fear.

Dear Father, as they look to me for Christian guidance true,

I look to Thee and humbly ask that Thou will teach me, too."

                                                                                                AMEN
