Nor dims the radiant light. No unkind words our lips shall pass. Nor envy sour the mind, But each shall seek the common weal; The good of all mankind. MamStemflLolleet Keep us, 0 Lord, from pettiness, let us be large in thought, in word and deed; Let us be done with faultfinding and leave off self-seeking; May we put away all pretence and meet each other face to face without self-pity and without prejudice; May we never be hasty in judgement and always generous; Let us take time for all things; make us grow calm, serene, gentle; Teach us to put into action our better impulses straight forward and unafi'aid. 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, 0 Lord God, let us not forget to be kind. 9\
