                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Rev. James David Ford, D.D., offered the following 
prayer:
  Let us pray using the words of the 100th Psalm:
  Be joyful in the Lord, all you lands.
  Serve the Lord with gladness and come before His presence with a 
song.
  Know this: The Lord Himself is God; He Himself has made us, and we 
are His; we are His people and the sheep of His pasture.
  Enter His gates with thanksgiving; go into His courts with praise; 
give thanks to Him and call upon His name.
  For the Lord is good; His mercy is everlasting; and His faithfulness 
endures from age to age. Amen.
