                                 PRAYER

  The Reverend Wade A. Watts, Jerusalem Baptist Church, McAlester, OK, 
offered the following prayer:
  Our Father in Heaven, we pray this morning for peace, freedom, 
justice, and equality for all throughout the entire world. We pray for 
these Congressmen. We pray that You would let them down in the deep 
secrets of Thy knowledge that they may render the right decision.
  Give them the faith of Abraham, the wisdom of King Solomon, the 
courage of the Apostle Paul, and if it be so that strength shall fail 
them, we pray, Heavenly Father, that You will stand by.
  If enemies shall increase and Satan's shots shall be multiplied, stay 
with them.
  If temptation grows stronger and friends grow faint and weary, do not 
leave them alone. Throw that ever protecting arm of love around them 
and see that no hurt, harm, or danger come to them.
  This is Your humble servant's feeble prayer. In Jesus' name we pray. 
Amen.
