                     ________________Collect for Peace_

         O

    God, 

       the 

author of peace and love  of con-

cord, to 

    know 

       you is eternal life 

          and to serve you is perfect freedom 

  * William Porter Bliss

priest, and  influential Christian Socialist and

Richard Theodore Ely 

               1854- 1943

economist who  called for more government inter-vention to reform injustices 
of unbridled capitalism, es-
pecially regarding factory 
conditions & child labor. An Episcopalian , he favored a middle ground between socialism and capitalism, with a proper and healthy balance between public and private enterprise.

May we too find our to happiness through self-sacrifice in service to your reign where the hungry are fed and the down trodden
