                                 prayer

  The guest Chaplain, the Reverend Carol B. Smith, Kabletown United 
Methodist Church, Rippon, WV, offered the following prayer.
  Let us pray:
  We thank Thee, O Lord, that this Nation is yet governed by men and 
women chosen by the people of these 50 States by democratic process. As 
these chosen ones prepare to discharge their duties this day, give to 
them, we pray, the grace of humility sufficient to claim Thy promise, 
``If any man lack wisdom, let him ask God who giveth to all men 
liberty, and it shall be given him.'' You alone, Lord, are fully aware 
of the difficulties these servants of this Nation have to face and the 
grave decisions they must make. Give them the wisdom to know and the 
courage to do what is best for our country in the glory of Thy name. 
Amen.
