    I A PRAYER With acliiiio' heart 1 conic to Tlicc and beseech Thee to iH'ar and <<;viu\i my prayer! Wilt Tlidu not, !)car Lord, in the creation of all t'utnro ■j,('ncrali(nis ol' Innnan heings, omit the Tonsils; the third jiah'.lc, t('rsel\- Jianied by the ^[edical Prot'essicm 'Ade- noids' (i)resent in every normal being), also the A^ermifonr, .vpjiciidix and all ntliei- ornaiis of the body which the wise siirtjcons ol' our lime have discovered to be wholly siiper- lliHiiis and nnnecessary: we beseech Thee to omit these, and ihei'eby sa'.c tlie suffering, bloodshed and annoyance ol' having them all removed from oiii- cliiidren at some pe- riod ftf their ixtstnatal existence. And, ITeaveidy Father, I beseech Thee that our chil- dren may. in futnre, be born inimnne from all diseases of the kinds for which toxins and serums are in.iected in their blood—most especially. Dear Lord, small-pox, for the sup- l»o.s('d pre\'ention of which the ancient, useless, dangerous and filthy rite ot va<-cination is performed; this most ear- nestly T pray Thee, from the deiiths of my heart, that the blood of our children may no longer be poisoned, their !i(\'illli forever im]>aired and often ruined, and their lives l(i.'-i. Since this su))erstiti<m or vaccination delusion is iinndreds ot years old, Thy onmipotence alone can rid the world of its hold upon i1. '■''ni'lhei- 1 liescech Thee, Dear Lord, to create millions upon millions of duplicates of all the organs ]x)ssessed by sentieiit IxMugs, and scatter them broadcast throughout the world; thesi' to be absolutely without the i)Ower to feel, to l)e used in the (experimentations of \'ivisectors, that ^dvi- section of sentient ci-eatm-es may no longer even be claim- ed to be necessary or helpful. Again T beseech Thee, Good Lord, to create two-lbirds of all dogs, now having to submit to the surgeon's knife that their earsand tailsmay conform to the prevailing fash- ion, these T ]3ray Thee to create with corrrect tails and ears, that this surgical operation may no longer be imposed u])on them—one of man's truest and best friends. Also, Dear Lord, I beseech Thee to create two-thirds of all the horses with docked tails, and ]3erpeudicular necks, that this noble, patient, long-snff'ering animal may no more be sub.iected to the heinous outrages of docking and the cruel check. The remaiuing one-third of these creatures to be for those Avho are satisfied with Thy handi- work, as created throughout the ages, '-^y In tlie name of Love, which Thou art. Amen. '. ^ —N. Y.
