                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Rev. James David Ford, D.D., offered the following 
prayer:
  We pray this day with the words of Psalm 100:
     Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the lands!
     Serve the Lord with gladness!
     Come into his presence with singing!
     Know that the Lord is God!
     It is he that made us, and we are his;
     we are his people and the sheep of his pasture.
     Enter into his gates with thanksgiving,
     and into his courts with praise!
     Give thanks to him, and bless his name!
     For the Lord is good;
     his steadfast love endures forever,
     and his faithfulness to all generations.
  Amen.
