                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Daniel P. Coughlin, offered the following 
prayer:
  ``The sufferings of the present, Lord, are nothing compared to the 
glory to be revealed for us.''
  So as children of promise, we live with undying hope.
  Empowered by Your Spirit, we work in this world as the free children 
of revelation, knowing we can change and we can change the world around 
us.
  As their Representatives in government, help Members to undertake the 
sufferings of Your people and the birth pangs of new creation; that in 
and through Your redeeming love and purified wisdom, a new order of 
prosperity and peace may be established for the whole created world, 
both now and forever. Amen.
