PRAYER FOR PEACE In August of 1962 an eminent world leader gave an address to his countrymen, one which really applied to all mankind. In his oration, he quoted Henry W. Longfellow’s Hiawatha.” Longfellow’s words masterfully expresses our deep convictions for world peace. Wash the warpaint from your faces, Wash the bloodstains from your faces, Bur) your war clubs and your weapons, Break the red stone from this quarry, Mould and make it into peace pipes, Take the reeds that grow beside you, Deck them with your brightest feather, Smoke the calumet together, And as brothers live hence forward! 4
