The Rockefeller Prayer

The Rockefeller Prayer
1t may be alright for the coun-
try to incorporate, in perpetuity,
Rockefeller benevolence; to for
tify the Rockefeller fortune
against the assault of social re-
form; to make of the Rockefeller
family a national institution of
worldly character.
But we object to the deihcation
of John D., before his death.
And most of all we object 20
his being linked up with God by
the preachers, who quote his
prayer as reverently as they do
that of the crucified Lord. A
New York pastor has told US in the
dispatches today what Mr.. Rock
efeller tells the Almighty every
day. How the pastor found out,
he does not relate. But as there
is no claim that heaven gave it
away, John d. must have been
babbling to men OF his interview
with the Beyond.
Rev. Johnston quotes this from
the daily prayer which Mr.. Rock
efeller whispers:
God. keep me in the same
mind. thoughts, the same ideals
and aspirations"
And upon that sort of senti-
ment Pastor Johnston says that
Rockefeller is the "noblest. gent
lest and sweetest soul" that he
has ever met.
Evidently Johnston has never
encountered the "poor wayfarine
man OF griei." Or else he places
John d, above Him.
II does not take much skill to
figure out the error of the Rookie
fcller attitude. Ii is common al
though not often SO great in
degree.
Mr.. Rockefeller is good. He
knows it. God owes him some.
thing every day for his being bet
ter than his fellow men. There
fore he may do things which a
less righteous man would shun.
The frail creature conscious
thatihe must fight, for his saliva
tion from the sins OF the world
and the flesh. feels that he is in.
debted every hour; and he must
avoid the cruelties which a holy
self-devotee may perpetrate.
The Rockefeller prayer is: God
keep me exactly as I am"
The sinners suppIication is:
"Oh, help me. Redeeming One,
to grow better day by day."
When Buddha returned to earth
to select his successor. his disci-
Piles pointed to an immaculate
priest who had dwelt among them
in recognized sinlessness. Buddha
called unto him. and asked: "Art
thou in perfect holiness1" The
priest answered, "Yea, teacher!"
Then Buddha cried: Bring me
the drunkard from the ditchl'
and they brought unto him a sod.
den tender of goats. "Art thou
sinlessf" asked the teacher. NAY,
Lord; l am a poor fallen soul.
Help thou me to better things"
And Buddha said: Behold in
the goatherd the power of divine
succession. He aspires. The Way
is eternal; and he alone may walk
It. who is conscious that he has
not yet attained perfection."-

Several herds OF deer have been

During the past few seasons these
animals have multiplied In consider

threatened several years ago when
the game laws were less stringent
and were enforced In a lax manner.
