                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal God, author of liberty, take control of this impeachment 
trial. Lord, permit the words of the New England poet James Russell 
Lowell to provide our Senate jurors with just one perspective. Lowell 
wrote:

       Once to every man and nation comes the moment to decide, In 
     the strife of Truth with Falsehood, for the good or evil 
     side.

  Mighty God, could it really be that simple? Could it really be just 
truth striving against falsehood and good striving against evil?
  Powerful Redeemer, have mercy on our beloved land.
  We pray in Your magnificent Name. Amen.
