                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Rev. James David Ford, D.D., offered the following 
prayer:
  Teach us, O God, to know how to live with the ironies of daily life. 
May we know the time to speak and the time to listen, the time to learn 
and the time to instruct, the time to reflect on the past and the time 
to plan for the future, the time to heed the inner spirit and the time 
to enter the fray, the time of anguish and the time of joy. Give us, O 
gracious God, a heart of wisdom that we will discern the transient from 
the eternal and so do justice and serve people everywhere. In Your 
name, we pray. Amen.
