But each shall seek the common weal: The good of all mankind. INSTITUTE GRACE We thank Thee Father, for thy care Food, friends and Kindliness we share May we forever mindful be 0! Home and Country and of Thee, MARY STEWART COLLECT Keep us 0 Lord from pettiness; let us be large in thought, in word and deed. Let us be done with faultfinding and leave off self- seeking. May we put away all pretence and meet each other face to face, without selfapily and without prejudice. May we never be hasty in judgment and always generous. Let us take time for all things; make us grow calm, serene. gentle. Teach us to put into action our better impulses, straightforward and unafraid. Grant that we may realize that it is the little lhings thatcreale differences; that in the big thingspf life we are one, and may we strive to touch, and know the great human heart common to us all. And 0 Lord God let us not forget to be kind.
