A PRAYER FOR BUSINESS MEN

We plead with Thee, God, for our brothers who are pressed by the cares and beset by the temptations of business life We acknowledge before Thee our common guilt for the hard ness and deceitfulnes of our commercial life which leads so many into temptation and causes even the righteous to slip and fall. So long as 1t must be that man is set against man in struggle for wealth, help them to make their contest in some measure a test of excellence by which even the defeated may be spurred to bet ter work. If any man is pitted against those who have forgotten fairness and honesty, help him to put his trust resolutely in the profitable ness of sincerity and uprightness and, if need be, to accept loss rather than follow the others on crooked paths Establish in unshaken fidel- ity all who hold in trust the wealth of our na- ton. The property and welfare of our nation controlled by our business men. Help them to realize that they have high public functions and let them not betray the interest of all for their own enrichment Grant them far-sighted patri- otism to subordinate their work to the public veal and steadfast determination to trans form the disorder of the present into the nober and freer harmony of the future. Let the spirit of Christ which goes out from Thee and which is ceaselessly pleading within us, prevail to bring our business life under Christ's law of service, that all who guide the processes of fac tory and trade may feel that high consciousness of divine calling which blesses only those who are the free servants of God and the people, and who are consciously devoting their strength to the common good
