                                 PRAYER

  The Reverend Ronald K. Austin, Spirit of Peace Baptist Church, 
Washington, DC, offered the following prayer:
  Eternal God, the creator and sustainer of all life, we come before 
You this morning and pray that You would continue to be our ever 
present strength. Touch our minds and hearts this day that we might 
continue to be Your instruments for love and justice in this great 
Nation of ours. May Your light continue to lead this great body of men 
and women in the difficult decisions that they must make. Be with them 
in the good times and especially in the tough times. Also we pray for 
their families because they need Your strength also. Now help us all, 
dear Father, to reach that great day when nation will not take up sword 
against nation nor will they train for war anymore. In Your Holy name 
we pray. Amen.
