     Collect For Club Women 
     
    
   
   
    
     Keep us, 0 Lord, from pettiness; let us be large in thought, in word 
     
     and deed. 
     
    

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

    
     May we put away all pretences and meet each other face to face, without 
     
     self pity and without prejudice. 
     
    

    
     May we never be hasty in judgment and always generous. 
     
    

    
     Teach us to put into action our better impulses, straight forward and 
     
     unafraid. 
     
    

    
     Let us take time for all things; make us grow calm, serene, gentle. 
     
    

    
     Grant that we may realize that it is the little things that create 
     
     differences; that in the big things of life we are one. 
     
    

    
     And may we strive to touch and know the great human heart common 
     
     to us all, and O Lord God, let us not forget to be kind.
