A COLLECT FOR CLUB WOMEN
Keep us, O God, from pettiness; let us be large in thought, in word,
in deed.
Let us be done with faultfinding and leave off self-seeking.
May we put away all pretenses and meet each other face to face -
without self-pity and without prejudice. Many we never be hasty in
judgment and always be generous.
Let us take time for all things; make us grow calm, serene, gentle.
Teach us to put into action our better impulses, straightforward and
unafraid.
Grant that we may realize it is the little things that create
differences, that in the big things of life we are at one.
Any may we strive to touch and to know the great, common human
heart of us all, and O Lord God, let us not forget to be kind.
