                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Rev. James David Ford, D.D., offered the following 
prayer:
  As we have received Your blessings, O God, so remind us that we have 
responsibilities to see that these good blessings find expression in 
our daily lives. We know that we have enjoyed the gifts of life and we 
pray that we will be faithful custodians of the resources of the land, 
so that those who follow us, our children and grandchildren, will enjoy 
the fruits of our labors and experience a noble heritage. May Your 
blessings, O God, be with us and all Your people, now and evermore. 
Amen.
