A COLLECT FOR CLUB WOMEN


Keep us, oh God, from pettiness;
let us be large in thought, in word, in deed.

Let us be done with fault-finding
and leave off self-seeking.

May we never be hasty in judgement
and always generous.

Let us take time for all things;
and to 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.

And may we strive to touch and to know the great,
common human heart of us all.

And, oh Lord God, let us forget not to be kind.
