Excerpt from A Prayer Before the Lesson: For Superintendents and Teachers in the Sunday-School and in the Quiet Hour at Home

UR Father, the past week has gone hard with some Of us. We have let sin get the upper hand just when we had thought we would not, we have chosen to do wrong in that hour when we closed our eyes to the light Of thy word, and withdrew from the clasp of thy guid ing hand, to seek our own way in the dark. Father, forgive us once again as we confess to thee our wilfulness. Help us to learn over again to-day the lesson Of brave faithfulness to duty, and the sharp turning away from temptations that pull upon us so hard that we can scarcely keep from go ing where they draw us. Help us to put no trust in ourselves, but to rest confidently in thy promised, power for the breaking Of the grip of tempta tion - the very temptation that so far has overcome us most easily. In Jesus' name. Amen.
