Shortly after WWII, while we were still involved in
armed conflict on the Pacific Rim, a book of prayers
from a variety of sources was assembled.  John Wallace
Suter was one of the contributing editors to "The Book
of Prayers" published by Avenel Books in 1954.

Harry Emerson Fosdick wrote an introduction that
included this paragraph.

-------------------------------

A troubled generation like ours, that makes a heavy
demand on our resources, calls for prayer.  Action,
output, work--to this strenuous side of our lives our
era appeals.  It fairly shouts at us about duties,
responsibilities, obligations.  Yes, but a tree must
have deep roots if it is to have strong branches. 
Even an airplane, with all its powers of flight and
speed, is useless without ground service.  The more
the output, the greater the need of replenishment and
intake--that is law universal, nowhere more manifest
than in personal experience.  Anyone who in a time
like this hears only the call to go all out is sure in
the end to find himself all in.

H.E. Fosdick
