A PRAYER


Dear God,
Since time immemorial
There have been race prejudices;
And since time immemorial
We have needed the dictates of ugly
conventions;
And we, the Youth of the world,
Have been in the background,
And now
We want to come forward
And think for ourselves,
And rule our own lives;
And we feel
That the happiness of the world
Rests on the shoulders of Youth.
It's up to US to sweep aside all race
prejudices
And to break down barriers every
where
Between color, race and creed;
And it's up to US to say,
'There shall be no more war"
Dear God,
We believe this, our greatest fault
Is race prejudice,
For it holds more baseness and
cruelty
Than any other fault.
In the wide world.
If we, the Turks, had not nursed it,
There would have been no atrocities
Which Mortified the world.
If we, the British, had not nursed it
There would be
No Indian situation.
If we, the Americans, did not nurse
the Negro problem,
No book such as "The Martyred
Race"
Could be the best seller in India
today.
Dear God,
Help US to overcome these, our
faults.
Help us to forget our international
suspicious,
Our animosities and hates,
Help US, the Youth of the world,
To bring all nations together in
peace;
Help us to meet the world as
brothers;
Help us to walk joyously in the open
sunshine of world friendship.

non-sectarian expression of Chris
tianity. Its business is to aid in
every way possible to the develop
ment of a fuller life among the Ne
groes; giving opportunities for a
broader expression of the cultural
values of the group.
The essence OF the Center is that
it belongs to the people, to serve
them, not on special occasions, but
on all occasions. Its program is elias
tic, and changes to meet the changing
needs of the people.
Its organized activities include the
making of toys, handcraft, art class,
library, storytelling, group and table
games, playground sports, sewing,
dressmaking, cooking, folk-dancing,
glee club, music, dramatics, scouting,
Negro history, community gardens,
improvement club, and parent-teach-
Ell association.
Through these activities is sought
wider range of interest, which shall
develop creative imagination, initia-
tive, the joy of self-expression, of
group expression, and of new SYM
pathies.
Better race relations have come
mainly through the improvement
club of the Settlement and Center.
These clubs working together have
secured more street lights, cleaner
alleys, in summer conducted Home
Improvement contests with prizes for
excellence of home premises. These
clubs met the board of education sew
eral times in an effort to improve
conditions of the Westside school.
The courageously lived, simple
lives, bring US who live and work in
this packing house neighborhood,
daily inspiration. 1t is only this per-
sonal daily contact with life-with
the rough, and the smooth, that gives
understanding of the basic realities
of life.
When people of neighborhood
can acquire the habit of not only 60
ing to the Center for class, lecture,
or music, but of strolling there dur
ing leisure hours to enjoy anew, the
things that are familiar and dear.
When they can do this, and then,
come out to view the old familiar
commonplace of their lives in the
glow of a new appreciation and un-
derstanding of values, then and only
then are we solving some of the prob
lens of packing house neighbor-
hood.
