                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal God, dressed in a robe of righteousness, we place our trust 
in You. You refuse to let our enemies triumph over us. As we return to 
the business of freedom, use the Members of this body to accomplish 
Your will.
  Lord, strengthen them to never abandon the struggle, and inspire them 
to endure to the end. Help them to press forward to the goal of Your 
ideal for humanity. Inspire them to choose the more difficult right.
  Lord, remind them that perspiration is usually the price for laudable 
accomplishments, and that without the cross, there is rarely a crown.
  We pray in Your merciful Name. Amen.
