                                 PRAYER

  Reverend Dr. Dan C. Cummins, People's Church, Jacksonville, Texas, 
offered the following prayer:
  Our Father, let us walk worthy of the vocation wherein we are called, 
with all lowliness and meekness, long-suffering, forbearing one another 
in love, keeping the peaceful unity of the Spirit.
  For You have given grace to us all according to the gift of Christ.
  Let us speak the truth in love, putting on the new man, which is 
created in Your righteousness and holiness. And putting away lying, let 
us speak truth to our neighbor, for we are members one of another.
  When angry, may we sin not: neither give place to the devil, and let 
no corrupt communication proceed out of our mouth but that which is 
edifying.
  And let us not grieve the Holy Spirit of God.
  May all bitterness, wrath, anger, and evil speaking be put away.
  And let us be kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one 
another even as You, for Christ's sake, hath forgiven us. We ask this 
in Jesus' name.
  Amen.
