A Prayer

Give us in our day, O God, to see the fulfillment of Thy vision of Peace.

May these young people grow to despise false ideals of conquest and empire and all the tinsel of war.

May we strive to replace force with justice and armies of murder with armies of relief.



May we believe in Peace among all nations as a present practical creed and count love for our country as love and not hate for our fellow men.

Amen.

--W.E.B. Du Bois, ca. 1910.
