                                 PRAYER

  Reverend Dr. Daniel C. Gunn, St. Andrew's Episcopal Church and 
School, New Providence, New Jersey, offered the following prayer:
  Almighty God, who has given us this good land for our heritage, we 
humbly beseech You that we may always prove ourselves a people mindful 
of Your favor and glad to do Your will.
  Bless our land with honorable industry, sound learning, and pure 
manners. Save us from violence, discord, and confusion; from pride and 
arrogance; and from every evil way. Defend our liberties, and fashion 
into one united people the multitudes brought here out of many kindreds 
and tongues.
  Endue with the spirit of wisdom those to whom in Your name we entrust 
the authority of government, that there may be justice and peace at 
home, and that, through obedience to Your law, we may show forth Your 
praise among the nations of the Earth.
  In the time of prosperity, fill our hearts with thankfulness, and in 
the day of trouble, suffer not our trust in You to fail; all which we 
humbly ask in Your most holy name.
  Amen.
