PRAYER
In these first beginnings of the new life of the world, re new in us the resolution to persist in the good work we have begun. Give us strength of body and strength of mind and the unfaltering determina tion to carry out that which we know to be good and right. Forgive all wavering in the past service of Thy cause and make us strong to go for ward in spite of the doubts of our friends and our enemies and in spite of our own distrust in ourselves. Out of the death of winter comes ever and again the resurrection of spring: so out of evil bring good, O God, and out of doubt determination. Amen.
