Show F it must be so that our women toil like men, help us still to reverence in them the mothers ' of the future. But make us deter- 1 mined to shield them from unequal burdens, that the women of our ' nation be not drained of strength r and hope for the enrichment of a few, lest our homes grow poor in the wifely sweetness and motherly j love which have been the saving 1 strength and glory of our country. To such as yearn for the love ' ' and sovereign freedom of their own home, grant in due time the ' fulfilment of their sweet desires, i By Mary, the beloved, who bore ' the world's redemption in her bosom; by the memory of our own dear motlvers who kissed our souls 1 ' awake; by the little daughters , who must soon go out into the ' '. world which we are now fashion- -ing for others, we beseech thee ' tliat we may deal aright by all women. "Prayers of the Social ' ,' Awaliening," Walter Rauschenbusch |
