Tree Felling

Keep us, O God, from all complaining and self-pity. When our work is hard, give us the strength we need to do our best.

When our hearts are heavy, give us a sense of Thy many blessings now and always. May our efforts and our hopes make us cheerful and serene That others may take new vigor and joy from us.—Amen

Rev. Frank Reed

Founder of the NYS Woodsmen’s Field Days in 1948
