                                 PRAYER

  Reverend Dr. Dan C. Cummins, Capitol Worship, Washington, D.C., 
offered the following prayer:
  Heavenly Father, creator of all things, throughout our history have 
plagues and diseases pillaged our human frailties. Still another 
leviathan plunders Your children--stealing, destroying, and killing 
without prejudice. We beseech You this morning without timidity, but in 
all reverence and humiliation, reminding You of Your promise to us, 
Your children, that if destruction should come in the guise of drought 
or by the hordes of locusts or the peril of pestilence, and whether it 
comes with the morning's sun, the noonday heat, or the darkness of 
night, or whether it comes by nature's chance, man's nefarious deed, or 
by Your outstretched hand, You promised that if Your people, who are 
called by Your name, shall humble themselves, pray, seek Your face, and 
turn from our wicked ways, You will hear us from heaven, forgive our 
sin, and heal our land.
  For this we shall do and plead today, O Lord.
  In Jesus' name, amen.
