DII-uroT ORY DA'ff,mra .QlJm. PRAYER Keep us, O Gi;,d, from pettit1ess. Let us be large in thought, in word in dee cl. Let us be done with fault-finding and leave off self-seeking • . .. May we put away_ p.retense and moet each othor face to fac.o w'i th out self pity and without projudicc. May we not be hasty in judgment. Lot us teko time for all things; Mako us to grow calm, sorono and gentle; Toah us to put into action our bo ttor impulses, staight forward and. unafraid. Gran.t that wo may .realize it is tho little things that create diffcroncos, that in tho big things of iifo , wo r,, rc one, And may wo strive to tough tbc common woman's hoart for us all, And O! Lordt God! Lo t us not forgot to bo kind. Am,rn THE WORLD IS FULL OF PROBLEMS There's muoh to cause distress Ve all are bound beneath the _c2res That daily round us press, There's only one solution 'Tia simply stated Thus! A little less of you and me A little more of us" A flake of snow is very. small.
