Our Prayer for the Future ★ We emerge from history's most horrible war into a long-sought but terrifying period of peace, terrifying because man has finally unleashed the power of the atom, a power which holds multitu- dinous potentialities for the future — for construction and for destruction. The world views this discovery with both welcome and awe; happy over the numerous benefits it can bring to man- kind, but at the same time fearful of the horror it is capable of creating in event of another great war. We look for guidance to help us make future wars impossible; to help us do our share in building a world in which strife can have no part, a world in which there will be enlightenment, security, and freedom for all. Let us never lose sight of our high ideals, but let us have with us always an abiding faith in humanity and its Creator.
