                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Rev. James David Ford, D.D., offered the following 
prayer:
  Help us to realize, O gracious God, that Your will is for all Your 
people to live in peace and harmony and in appreciation and respect. We 
know that there have been differences in philosophy and outlook from 
the beginning of time and we all have our opinions and ideas. Yet, 
remind us, O God, that we should do what we can to truly act and speak 
toward others by honoring their background and history, by 
communicating honestly and reliably, and by seeing others with a 
consideration and thoughtfulness that is worthy of every person of Your 
vast creation. In Your name, we pray. Amen.
