                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Rev. James David Ford, D.D., offered the following 
prayer:
  We recall the words of the Psalmist of old who wrote: ``How wonderful 
it is, how pleasant, for God's people to live together in harmony!'' O 
gracious God, from whom all good gifts do come, we pray that we will 
represent in our daily lives the unity that You gave to us at creation 
and the solidarity we share as Your people. Though we differ in our 
manifestations of our knowledge, yet may we testify also to the shared 
values that are the legacy of our land and the faithful heritage of 
faith and hope and love that is Your gift to every person. Bless us 
this day and every day, we pray. Amen.
