INVOCATION. 



Our Father, who art in Heaven, we thank Thee for Thy 

 grace and mercy. We thank Thee for the things with which 

 Thou art beautifying the earth, for all the good things about 

 us, and for all the smiles and sunshine around about us. We 

 thank Thee for the righteousness and beauty Thou hast put 

 into our lives and for the many and abundant blessings that 

 have been ours. We thank Thee for the associations among 

 men and for the work that is being done to bring forth better 

 things upon this earth. We pray that Thou wouldst bless the 

 work that this Society is engaged in, and we pray that their 

 labors may be successful. Bless the officers in charge of this 

 meeting and bless all the members of this Association, and 

 may their meeting here be pleasant and profitable. All this 

 we ask in Thy Son's name; Amen.
