In the second place, I want all parents here to say, the Bishop said we parents have' a tremendous privilege because God has entrusted His children to us to train in their earliest years that so right from the beginning they may know their duty as children of God and may go on to live their lives with God and for God, In the third place, I want the teachers in our Schools to say, the Bishop says that we teachers have a solemn responsibility because in our hands is placed the task of helping to develop the God-given talents of our pupils so that they may go out with right ideals into the world to help build up the Kingdom of God. And, in the last place, I want us clergy—Bishop, priests and deacons to say, the Bishop says that we clergy have a glorious task entrusted to us to help parents and teachers and all the men and women and young people of our congregation to hear, high above all the voices of the world. the flesh and the devil—so loud everywhere, but perhaps louder in Shanghai than in most places—the voice of God calling them and us to set our affection on things above, not on things of the earth, to minister to our fellows as our Saviour did so that helping the least as well as the greatest of His brethren in the contacts of daily life, in home and business and professional life, we clergy and laity alike, may continually and not only at the end hear His words of commendation, "Come ye blessed of my Father, inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world."
