# Only, O Lord, in Thy dear love
:53:47
# Fit us for perfect rest above
:53:53
# And help us this and every day
:53:58
# To live more nearly as we pray
:54:06
# Amen

This morning's reading is taken from
Matthew, chapter 18, verses 10-1 4.
:54:23
"Never despise one of these little ones,
I tell you."
:54:26
"They have their guardian angels
in heaven
:54:28
who look continually
on the face of my heavenly father."
:54:32
"Suppose a man has a hundred sheep.
lf one of them strays,
:54:36
does he not leave
the other 99 on the hillside
:54:38
and go in search of the one that strayed?"
:54:41
"And if he should find it, I tell you this,
:54:44
he is more delighted over that sheep
than over the 99 that never strayed."
:54:48
"ln the same way,
it is not your heavenly father's will
:54:51
that one of these little ones should be
lost." Here ends this morning's reading.
