Our Father, God: We pause to recognize Thee as the giver of all good gifts. We thank Thee for Life, for fellowship, and for opportunities to serve. Give us love that we may feel the urge to help where help is needed. Give us understanding that we may apprecite the problems of our fellowman. Give us wisdom that we may know how to serve. In the name of the Master Teacher, we pray. Amen. Helen R. Robinson

To Thee who remaineth unchanged through the flight of time, we lift our voices. In sacred stillness may we feel Thy presence. Enable us to remain tranquil and serene. Clothe us with a deeper wisdom and understanding and help us to interpret aright. Keep us calm and self-possessed when confusion threatens. May we have music in our hearts as we set forth upon our labors. Quicken our souls, inspire us with high motives, and stir our imagintions with the lure of the unseen. Teach man everywhere that the world cannot be saved by force, but that the road to the cross is the road to peace; and may the drumbeats of our own land be unity, brotherhood, an goodwill. Ottie Huff, Beta State President 1937-1940
