    THE COLLECT for Clubwomen
    \n<\/strong>Keep us, O God, from pettiness; let us be large in thought, in word, in deed.
    \nLet us be done with fault-finding, and leave off self seeking.
    \nMay we put away all pretenses and meet each other face to face, without self-pity and without prejudice.
    \nMay we never be hasty in judgment and always generous.
    \nLet us take time for all things; make us grow calm, serene, gentle.
    \nTeach us to put into action our better impulses, straight forward and unafraid.
    \nGrant that we may realize it is the little things that create differences, that in the big things of life we are as one.
    \nAnd may we strive to touch and to know the great, common human heart of us all;
    \nand O Lord God, let us forget not to be kind!
    \n<\/em>Mary Stewart – April 1904<\/em><\/p>\n
