are breaking a contract - we, the social contract between

4

between man and God which seeks man's good through the

5

fulfillment of God's will.

Give us the strength, we pray Thee, to abide by

remember that the social contract, great and noble instru-

ment though it be, is but a partial contract and earthly

embodiment of the only contract that encompasses all that

11

man can think and feel and do, the ultimate contract the

12

divine covenant between man and his God. Amen.
