"Heavenly Father, we pray you that our bodies and brains may be daily developed for Jesus Christ. Control for us all that we do today. Then, as we stand upon our feet and go from this room, may we realize that we are God's own buildings, his temples, and may we adorn these temples with beautiful character. In the Saviour's name. Amen."

"We thank you, our heavenly Father, that you have beset us beind and before, and laid you hand upon us. With all the sincerity of our hearts this morning, we ask you to search our thoughts and know them. Remove wickedness and lead us in the way everlasting. Loving Father, may this day be wholly yours, that we may glorify your Son, our Saviour. Amen."

"You have said, dear Lord, that the kingdom of heaven is in our midst. May we live in the realization of this fact. If heaven is to be home for us, may we make home heaven now. May we also have the joy of anticipation when we think of the eternal home before us, where so many whom we love are now with you. Amen."

"Our wonderful God and Creator, in the thought of you and all your works we are lost in praise and adoration. We would so gain your nature and follow your precepts that the little trying duties and irritations of every day may never retard our usefulness, nor destroy our peace. Fill our hearts with joy and admiration. For the sake of your Son our Saviour. Amen."

"Almighty and eternal God, you who created the universe, in humility and holy fear we your children bow before you. You have created us in your own image. May we so receive this wonderful fact that we may glorify and enjoy you forever. Amen."
