a prayer offered in 12th st. [meeting] in
1818.

"As all our efforts to resist
temptation, and overcome the
world prove fruitless, unless aided
by thy Holy Spirit, enable us
to approach thy throne, and ask
of thee the blessing of thy preservation
from all evil, that we
may be wholly devoted to thee
and thy glorious cause."

Lucretia Mott.
1879
