Jennie's Calendar, 1917

A Morning Prayer.
    "The day returns and brings us the
petty round of irritating concerns
and duties. Help us to play the man, keep
us to perform them with laughter and
kind faces, let cheerfulness abound with
industry. Give us to go blithely on our
business all this day, bring us to our
resting beds weary and content and
undiscovered, and grant us in the
end the gift of sleep."
Robert Louis Stevenson
