                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Daniel P. Coughlin, offered the following 
prayer:
  ``Take care, my brothers and sisters, lest any of you have an evil 
and unfaithful spirit and fall away from the living God.
  ``Encourage one another daily, while it is still `today'; so that no 
one grows hardened by the deceit of sin.
  ``All of us have become partners of the Lord, only if we maintain to 
the very end that confidence which we brought when we first began.
  ``For Scripture tells us, `Today, if you should hear His voice, 
harden not your hearts . . .'
  ``As His faithful ones, look after the Father's house--and we are 
that house. Through Him, the whole fabric is bound together and grows 
into a holy temple in the Lord--and we are that house.''
  Amen.
