                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Rev. James David Ford, D.D., offered the following 
prayer:
  Teach us always, gracious God, to use our words as instruments of 
information and understanding, as agents of communication and contact, 
so that our expressions bring us together and allow us to share in our 
common heritage and our collective concerns. Remind us that we should 
choose our words wisely for we know that comments clearly stated and 
given for the purpose of knowledge can promote harmony and mutual 
assurance and can lead all people to greater respect and reverence 
toward one another. Bless us and all Your people, O God, this day and 
every day. Amen.
