                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Rev. James David Ford, D.D., offered the following 
prayer:
  O gracious God, whose mercies are without number and whose grace 
abounds with love and compassion, we ask Your blessing upon each of us 
and upon the world that You have created. On this day, we acknowledge 
the death of Richard Nixon who served this Nation in the Office of 
President and who also served in this assembly. We are grateful for his 
service in the cause of peace in many places in our world and for his 
leadership in bringing people together of different backgrounds in a 
new spirit of understanding. We offer this prayer for his family and 
for those near and dear to him, that Your mighty promises of life that 
are new every morning and sustain us all the day through, will be with 
them and each of us now and evermore. In Your name, we pray. Amen.
