SATURDAY MORNING SAYINGS

               "The Two Prayers"

                         "Last night my little boy confessed to me,
                         Some childish wrong;
                         And kneeling at my knee.
                         He prayed with tears,
                         "Dear God, make me a man
                         Like Daddy-- wise and strong,
                         I know you can."

                         Then while he slept,
                         I knelt beside his bed,
                        Confessed my sins;
                        And prayed with low bowed head.
                        "Oh God, make me a child
                        Like my child here--
                        Pure, guileless,
                        Trusting Thee with faith sincere."
