Excerpt from Proceedings of the First Annual Convention: Chicago, February 10 12, 1903 We thank thee, our Father, that thou art not hard to be found, that thy life is not far to seek, and that we may have it in our spirit from this hour on. And now, Father, thou who hast helped us thus far to offer thee with one accord our common supplication, help us, as we join together, in that prayer, which has come down to us from our Master: Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.
