WILLIAM SCARLETT
FOR DEMOCRACY
Maker of the stars and Master of the nations of
the earth, we pray for the future of all countries engaged
in the audacious, ever changing, ever challenging experiment
of democracy.. May we never grow weary of out task because
of its difficulties. Grant us faith in humanity and confidence
that truth will triumph in free and open encounter. We seek
flexibility of mind and a willingness to try new experiments, so
that we may create the conditions which make us free and
equal, enhance human dignity and self-resect, and establish a
fair measure of economic security for our people. Bind upon
each of us a sense of our individual accountability to You, that
we may do what is just, rising above prejudice to make the good
of all our aim. So shall we take our place with those who labor
that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall
not perish from the earth, but will express the living common faith
of the human family.
