O God of infinite mercy, hear the
mothers of this land as we plead befora
Thy throne for the loved ones we are
sending forth to battle for the right.
Though our hearts are bowed with sor-
row, we pray not for ourselves, all our
prayers are for them, the priceless
treasures of our lives. We are willing
to suffer, and, if noed be to die, for our
country.
We would gladly give our lives to save
these loved ones, dearer to us than life
itself, who are going out to fight foes
seen and unseen, to face all the horrors
of the battlefield, and some perchance
to die, that others may live, but by no
word or look will we hold them back
when duty calls them to save others.
Give them the manhood to meet this
supreme test of life, give them strength
of body, of mind and soul to do battle
Jor the right, and to succor the women
and children. Arm them with
Divine power to smite evil; fold them
in Thy loving arms; yea, though they
walk through the Valley of the Shadow
of Death, may Thy presence banish
every fear and Thy rod and Thy staff
comfort them.
For three long years the men of our
allies have battled for us as for their
own homes, and their loved ones
have endured the sorrows which now
we must face. Our men go forth to
help save us from ruin and the world
from barbarism. We suffer, but we
glory in their manhood. We dedicate
our lives to this Great Cause that we
may serve behind the lines while they
carry forward the flag of civilization.
The prayers of a world in agony, for
whom these loved oues are fighting, are
are lifted up to Thee for those men.
They are offering all that earth holds
dear, because they have heard Thy
voice calling them to the noblest work
to which lives were ever consecrated.
Thy love, O God, our Father, excels all
human love, 50 ws leave them with
The science of detecting and correct-
ing defects of the eye is a profession
in itself, and should not be attempted
by inexperienced persons, as many
times these defects and muscular insuf-
ficiencies can be discovered only by
a careful and thorough examination
at the hands of a competent .specialist.
Why take chances when my sixteen
years’ continuous practice in .this one
profession places me in a position to
guarantee absolute correct diagnosis
in the most difficult cases?
