We offer special prayers this morning for the rising generation. The Lord bless those who teach children. Teach the teachers, bless and superintend the superintendents; and let our churches and homes be more than ever, a place where the lambs are cared for and tended, that they may grow up as sheep of the fold of Jesus.
Many prayers have been offered already today for this end: we pray that you would hear them all, and let the richest blessings of heaven rest on those devoted men and women, who deny themselves many privileges that they may have the greater privilege of feeding the lambs of Christ. The Lord hear us, and do for us, exceeding abundantly above what we ask, or even think, through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.
