There is only the text of the prayer printed, as follows: "Remember, O Lord, for good the Associates and Benefactors of the Church in Qu'Appelle, whose names Thou knowest, and grant that they may this and every day do that which is well pleasing in Thy sight. Strengthen them with Thy Holy Spirit, supply all their needs, and bless them according to the abundance of Thy mercy, though Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen."
