One outstanding piece of work from Institute Creed Keep us, 0 Lord, from petti- ness; let us be large in thought, in word and deed, Let us be done with fault/find- ing and leave 05 self’seeking; May we put away all pretence and meet each other face to face, without self-pity and without prejudice. May we never be hasty in judg- ment and always generous. Teach us to put into action our better impulses straightfor- ward and unafraid, Let us take time for all things; make us grow calm. serene, gentle. Grant that we may realize that it is the little things that create differences. that in the big things of life we are one And may we strive to touch and know the great woman's heart common to us all, and O Lord, let us not forget to be kind. â€"Mary Stewart.
