A MAN’S PRAYER
Teach me that 60 minutes make an hour, 16 ounces one pound and
100 cents one dollar. Help me so to live that I can lie down at
night with a clear conscience, without a gun under my pillow and
unhaunted the faces of those to whom I have brought pain.
Grant that I may earn my meal ticket on the square, and that in
earning it, I may do unto others as I would have done unto me.
Deafen me to the jingle of tainted money and to the rustle of un
holy skirts. Blind me to the faults of the other fellow, but reveal
to me my own. Guide me so that each night when I look across the
table at my wife who has been a blessing to me, I will have nothing
to conceal. Keep me young*enough to laugh with little children,
and sympathetic enough to be considerate of old age. And when
comes the day of darkened shades and the smell of flowers, the
tread of soft footsteps and the crunching of wheels in, the yard^—
make the ceremony short and the epitaph simple, “Here Lies a
Man.”—Exchange.
