THE LOVELAND WOMAN'S CLUB

The Club Collect

By Mary Stewart · April 1904

Keep us, O God from pettiness, let us be large in thought, in word, in deed.

Let us be done with fault finding and self-seeking. May we put away all pretenses 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 and gentle.

Teach us to put into action our better impulses straight forward and unafraid. Grant that we may realize it is the

little things that create differences, that in the big things of life we are as one.

May we strive to touch and to know the great common human heart of us all.

O Lord God, let us not forget to be kind.
