Presented recently at the Master Planning Session in Alberta May this also be the prayer ofeach of us for the New Year. Ed

Dear Lord: Help me to be myself what I desire others to become—a born-again, practicing Christian. Any reputation as a leader must be commensurate with this highest of all callings. Help me to exercise the greatest tact, to be as thoughtful and kind as Jesus was with those His life touched. Help me never to be rude, never needlessly to speak a severe word, never to give needless pain to a sensitive soul. Help me to be courageous, cheerful, zealous, and possessed of a holy enthusiasm for my work. Give me a conscience that feels sharply the sin of inactivity; and enable me to make gateways of opportunity through the walls of protection that tend to shut me from the world. May I never ask, "Is it safe?" "Is it politic?" "Is it popular?" but always, "Is it right?" Help me to increase the value of every other man around me. Help me to be big enough to overlook slights, whether they are intentional or unintentional, to forgive and to forget injuries. Give me grace never to retaliate or be vindictive—above all, Lord, never to use my influence or my position to get even with someone who has opposed or wounded me. Help me never to needlessly create issues with my fellow workers. May I avoid pettiness. Let me be willing to yield on points that do not involve principle. Help me to treat those "under me" with as great respect and deference as I treat those who are my "superiors." Help me never to pass the blame down but to accept my responsibility when things go wrong. Help me never to ask others to do what I am able but unwilling to do myself. Let me exercise leadership by example even more than by precept. Help me always to rejoice fully in the success of a brother, even when it may have been at my expense. Forbid that I should ever feed upon the husks of other men's failures or folly. If I have nothing good to say about a brother, Lord, help me to keep my mouth closed. Remind me often every day that "he that keepeth his mouth keepth his life: but he that openeth wide his lips shall have destruction." Give me patience under fire, remembering the words of the wise man, "A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger." Help me always to give in graciously when my brethren do not see light in my plans or proposals. Only when principle is at stake let me "stand for the right though the heavens fall."—Education, page 57. Help me not to act impetuously or on snap judgment. May I ever remember that emergencies demand and should receive immediate attention and action, but most decisions are better taken in the atmosphere of prayerful reflection. When dealing with the erring may I act with love, mercy, and true justice—in the same spirit I would wish to be treated myself, always remembering to consider lest I also be tempted. May I use the Lord's funds wisely—they are not mine but Thine, and many of those coppers came through long hours of toil and self-denial. Help me never to become so engrossed with the motions of administration that I lose sight of my highest calling—soul winning. Remind me frequently that I am in this life only to prepare myself and others for the life to come. Help me to be a man of prayer and a man of the Word—never let my encouragement of others in these two most important requisites of spiritual success be mere precept. Let every day begin and end with Thee. May I never believe that any task, with divine help, is impossible. Help me never to give less than my best to Thee and to Thy work—"good measure, pressed down, ... and running over." May I always make Christ first, last, and best in everything. Amen
