Excerpt from Forty-Ninth Annual Meeting of the Maryland State Teachers Association, 1916 The forty-ninth annual meeting of the Maryland State Teachers' Association was called to order at 8 P. M. on Tuesday evening, June 27th, by the President, William J. Holloway. The invocation was offered by the Reverend S. A. Potter, Rector of St. Paul's P. E. Church, Berlin, and St. Paul by the Sea, Ocean City, as follows: "Direct us, O Lord, in all our doings, with Thy most gracious favor, and further us with Thy continual help; that in all our works begun, continued and ended in Thee, we may glorify Thy holy Name, and finally, by Thy mercy, obtain everlasting life. "And we pray that Thy blessing, O God, may rest upon this assembly of men and women, that they may be inspired with a hearty desire to be instrumental in guiding into right paths the youth of this State of Maryland, and that they may be filled with the spirit of wisdom to enable them to successfully accomplish their desire. "Help them to realize the sacredness of the work in which they are engaged, and to know that they are called to train and develop the morals, as well as the intellectual faculties, of those committed to their care. "Help them, one and all, to perceive the vast importance of the work in which they are engaged, so that they may diligently seek to become more and more efficient as instructors and educators, to the end that they may with greater proficiency inculcate the doctrines of purity of purpose, unimpeachable integrity, and self-dependence in the hearts of their pupils. "May they all be granted the highest ideals in the pursuit of their vocation, and may they have such success in their undertaking that the sons committed to their care may grow up as the pillars of Church and State, and the daughters be as the polished corners of the Temple. "And grant, O Lord, that in all their words and acts, everything may tend to the advancement of Thy glory and the welfare of men. "We ask it all through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen." The President introduced the first speaker of the evening, as follows: "The Executive Committee has spared no pains nor expense to provide for this annual meeting of the State Teachers' Association profitable and interesting entertainment in the way of speakers and music.
