                                 PRAYER

  Reverend Dr. Dan C. Cummins, Peoples Church, Jacksonville, Texas, 
offered the following prayer:
  Heavenly Father, bless this House, its Members and families, and the 
families of every house recovering from Florence.
  Hear us Lord in the day of our calamity. Send us help and deliverance 
from Your sanctuary according to the depth of Your mercy and the 
goodness of Your heart.
  Spare us from the arrows of our enemies. Forgive our presumptuous 
sins. Cleanse us from our secret faults. Then we will rejoice in Your 
salvation. And in the name of the most High, then will we know that it 
is the Lord who saves His people. By the saving strength of Your right 
hand that You hear us from Your holy heaven.
  Some may trust in chariots and horses, but we will remember the name 
of the Lord our God.
  Let the words of our mouths, and the meditations of our hearts be 
acceptable in Thy sight, O Lord.
  In Jesus' name, amen.
