Dr. H. L. Messick's Opening Prayer 

 for this book 



All powerful and all merciful Creator, it is my 

 pleasure to call upon Thee before commencing to pre- 

 pare such enlightenment to the people upon this earth 

 as will serve to give them better understanding. 



I ask of Thee that Thou will be willing to give 

 me the exact words of truth upon the very important 

 subject of which I expect to write. 



I pray Thee that Thou will not allow a single word 

 to appear upon this pamphlet which will not give great 

 value to my readers. 



I ask Thy blessing to rest upon the readers of this 

 pamphlet and give to him or her the true understand- 

 ing and meaning of every word written herein. 



I thank Thee for all the past blessings and ask 

 Thee that Thou will render to me such strength, wis- 

 dom and knowledge as will make this book the greatest 

 power and benefactor to the industry for which it is 

 especially prepared. 



Thanking Thee for all the blessings that have 

 been rendered to me during my past life, asking that 

 Thou wilt continue to guard, guide and direct me 

 through the coming journey of life and when Thy call 

 shall come, I ask that Thou wilt fit a place in Thy 

 kingdom. 



These favors I ask in the name of our blessed 

 Savior, who gave His life that we might be saved.
