                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Daniel P. Coughlin, offered the following 
prayer:
  ``Not to us, O Lord, not to us, but to Your holy name give the 
glory.''
  On the whole, Your people of the ancient covenant had a vocation 
which was very humbling. Others might glory in their fading riches or 
give glory to their ancestors, but Your faith-filled ones were to give 
You the glory, for they had placed all their trust in You.
  Today, Lord, give this Nation renewed faith and build the foundation 
for continued hope in You.
  May the Members of the 109th Congress each narrate a thanksgiving 
story and give you the glory for what You have accomplished in and 
through them.
  May they complete their work under Your guidance and be a consolation 
to Your people, and give glory to Your holy name, both now and forever. 
Amen.
