                                 PRAYER

  Reverend Erin Keys, Capitol Hill Presbyterian Church, Washington, 
D.C., offered the following prayer:
  God of peace, we ask Your blessing upon us and our country, and we 
pray that as we celebrate the birth of our Nation later this week, that 
gratitude would fill our hearts for the land that we call home.
  May we remember that the values that first formed our Nation, values 
like freedom, justice, equality, are never to be taken for granted, and 
so may we be grateful for all who gave their lives to ensure those 
values would remain the foundation of America's heart and soul.
  May our own lives, too, reflect the very best of who we are and can 
be, and may Your blessing, God, continue to abide with us all.
  Amen.
