'It can be published after am dead,
for only dead men can tell the truth

whole in that prayer" The "War
Prayer" follows: .t'
o Lord our God, help us to tear
their soldiers to bloody shreds with
car shells; help us to cover their
smiling fields with the pale forms
of their patriot dead; help us to
lay waste their humble homes with
hurricane of fire; help us to wiring
the hearts of their unoffending Wi
dows with unavailing grief; help us
to turn them out roofless with their
little children to wander unfriended
through wastes of their desolated
land in rags and hunger and thirst,
sport of the suns flames of summer
and the icy winds of winter, broken
in spirit, worn with travail, implor
ing. Thee for the refugee of the
grave and denied it-for our sakes,
who adore Thee, Lord, blast their
hopes, blight their lives, protract
their bitter pilgrimage, make heavy
their steps, water their way with
their tears, stain the white snow
with the blood of their wounded
feet. We ask of One who is the
spirit of love and who is the ever
faithful refuge and friend of all that
are sore beset, and seek His aid with
humble and contrite hearts. Grant

be the praise and honor and glory,
