A COLLECT FOR CLUB WOMEN
Keep us, O 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 put away all pretense 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 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.
—Mary Stewart

“When we finish the year and see its close,
And the last of our meetings are here,
And we think of the things we’ve left behind,
And the thoughts we’ve had this year,
And our memory turns to what we have learned,
And the fun we have had together,
And we find the best has come to us
Is the friendship in all kinds of weather.”
