A PRAYER
By DR. HENRY FRANK
The following: prayer was delivered by Dr. Henry Frank. Pastor of the Peoples Liberal Church, at the Columbia Theatre, San Francisco, on May 13th,	1917.
We deem it well worthy of reproduction, particularly in a Moose publication.
MAY WE learn to partake of liberty, unlicensed by desire. May we acquire such adjustment of our thoughts, impulses and wishes, that while pursuing freedom, we shall not disqualify our noblest ends■ May we realize the joys of spirit as well as the fervor of thought, and catch glimpses of ecstacy that glow in imagination. To live altogether in the field of the plodding flesh, to discern no ray of beauty on the horizon of endeavor, to catch no note of melody in the discordant clash of life’s persistent tones, is to wend the way to disaster and drink at the fountain of despair. Only when imagination is wedded to toil and both beget the offsprings of hope and cheer and joy and love, is life beautiful, labor gratifying. May we learn to poise our minds in the upper air of calm thoughts, contemplative of noble ideals and cheering prospects. May we escape the jarring notes that rend the nerves and wrack the brain; may we behold visions of peace in the solemn temple of our souls. To weave the tapestries of fancy which display scenes of quietude and realms of happiness, “bodied forth in imagination,” regales the heart and transports the mind. Thus may we invite the spiritual forces that give life and strength. May we mingle with thoughts of goodness, kindliness and justice; may we find our neighbors in the needy who appeal for help, in the ignorant who crave for knowledge, in the.unworthy who challenge our sincerity, in the vicious who suspect our virtues, in the downtrodden for whom we are responsible. May we never conceive ourselves superior to others, knowing-well the frailty of man. May we realize that v^e are all weak, and unguarded, unforwarned, we all alike may fall. May we therefore conceive and realize such sympathy as each requires for reassertion, self-command and victory. May we learn to conjure the secret powers within each of us, that re-arm us for every conflict, overcoming obstacles by sheer will and reclaiming lost virtues by the authority of truth and love and right. May we learn never to despair; but to know that the sun that sets shall rise again and the darkest night must end in radiant dawn. Let us learn self-confidence and confidence in the eternal principles that uphold the universe. Amen.
