                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Reverend James David Ford, D.D., offered the following 
prayer:
  We long for peace in our hearts, O God, and we long for peace in our 
world. We pray that all people who have responsibility for the welfare 
of the nations will be surrounded with Your gifts of discernment and 
wisdom, with patience and understanding. May we be always fervent in 
our concern for those who suffer and diligent in our prayers for peace. 
Bless all Your people, O God, whatever their concern or need. Amen.
