A MIGHTY FORCE.
Prayer, the mightiest force in the universe, the force which links the power of frail humanity with the irresistible force of Divine Love. Foi centuries we have prayed, “Give peace in our time, O Ixird. ’ Is it not time we prayed for a peace which shall be universal, timeless? Moreover, shall we not help tlie coming of that time? Said a noted scientist, “The human brain is the most powerful dynamo in tlie world.” How can peace and harmony come to a world where from thousands of these mighty dynamos thoughts of hatred, personal, racial or sectarian are constantly given out? The following beautiful prayer has been sent, with a request that it lie published for all White Ribboners to read. Would it not be well to commit it to memory, and constantly to join our prayers with the mighty company of those who are praying that Peace and Goodwill may descend unon our warsi a rred planet: PRAYER FOR WORLD HARMONY. Glory and honour and worship be unto Thee, O I*)rd Christ, Thou Who art the Life and Light of all mankind. Thou art the King of Glory, to whom all the peoples of the earth should give joyful allegiance and service. Inspire mankind with a realisation of true Brotherhood. Teach us the wisdom of peace, harmony and co-operation. Breathe into our hearts the understanding that only as we see ourselves as parts of the one body of humanity can peace, harmony, success and plenty descend upon us. Help us to conquer all manifestations of inharmony and evil in ourselves, and hi the world. Bliss us all with the radiance of Thy Divine I.ove and Wisdom, that we may ever worship Thee in the beauty of holiness. In the Name of the Living Christ we ask it. Amen.
