                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Rev. James David Ford, D.D., offered the following 
prayer:
  We remember with gratitude the affection, our former colleague and 
friend, Claude Harris of Alabama, who died yesterday. We recall his 
great service to this institution and his dedication to the values of 
justice and integrity. May Your blessing, O God, be with his family and 
assure them of Your peace that passes all human understanding.
  Our petition this day is for a vision to see great opportunities of 
service in our lives. We pray, gracious God, that we will not be 
content with the ordinary things that only meet the least of our 
expectations, but open our eyes to the grandeur of our world and the 
promises of a better day. Give us, we pray, the gifts of faith, hope 
and love--a faith that gives renewed confidence, a hope that lifts us 
to new courage, and a love that never lets us go. Bless us this day and 
every day, we pray. Amen.
