                                 PRAYER

  The Reverend Aubry L. Wallace, Chaplain, Chilton County Sheriff's 
Department, Clanton, Alabama, offered the following prayer:
  Heavenly Father, I pray Your protection for this assembled body. May 
the brightness of Your countenance shine upon them. Keep them in Your 
hand and give them the assurance of Your walk with them as they go 
about the business of deliberating the affairs of our beloved country.
  May they find in You the strength to withstand those who criticize. 
Give them the humility to accept aid when offered and the courage to do 
the right thing.
  Holy Father, make them aware of Your presence as they take part in 
this divinely appointed experiment we call human government. Then at 
the end of the day let them know, all that is required of you is to 
love mercy, do justly, to walk only with their God, and in his Holy 
name we pray. Amen.
