                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Rev. James David Ford, D.D., offered the following 
prayer:
  On this day, almighty God, we pray for all people who are called to 
public service, who are committed to serving You by serving others and 
who see occasions to work for justice and opportunity. As they hear the 
voices from every side and the inevitable contentions that mark the 
days, may Your gift of discernment be imprinted on their character and 
may wisdom be their guiding star. Encourage all, O God, to grasp facts 
and understand issues, and yet always to seek the truth and the insight 
and the good judgment that will give justice and mercy for us and all 
people. Amen.
