Dumbarton Oaks Week will be observed in this country April 16th to 22nd, culminating in church and synagogue service with prayers for a successful world organization.
By Ruth Taylor
Almighty and most merciful Father of all mankind. We thank Thee that Thou has vouchsafed to us another opportunity to work together, men of all nations that we may in the spirit of obedience to Thy holy laws, seek to bring Thy kingdom, in which all men are brothers, to reign on earth.
Grant, we pray Thee, wisdom to those who are about to meet in solemn conclave. Keep their minds ever alert to Thy call, their hearts free from selfish ambitions and from personal pride. Fill them with Thy spirit. Let Thy love for all men, Thy sons, motivate their actions. May Thy truth be ever before them, a cloud of smoke by day and a pillar of fire by night, to guide their thoughts and speech.
Give to them understanding and patience and above all the willingness to seek a way out from the recurrent threat of war and a way in to a world of peace and prosperity for all men.
Grant to us, the humble folk of the earth, loyalty to Thy will. Keep our minds clear so that not by any careless speech of ours may we hamper or hinder their deliberations. Accept our daily prayers for them as they work to seek a common understanding and a common goal.
We ask Thy blessing upon this conference and upon those who represent us. May they be given strength and courage to do their duty.
