                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Almighty God, Father of mercies, we praise You for Your goodness and 
kindness to us and humanity. Give strength to the Members of this body 
as they toil in these fields of time. Cleanse and correct their vision 
so that they can see the transient in the light of the everlasting. 
Lord, infuse them with a serenity to meet a sometimes agitated 
environment with unruffled kindness, thereby reflecting Your image and 
character. May they be more interested to know the truth about 
themselves than about others. Keep them ever near to You.
  We pray in Your great Name. Amen.
