                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend James David Ford, D.D., offered the 
following prayer:
  Let us pray using the words of Psalm 100:
  Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the lands.
  Serve the Lord with gladness.
  Come into His presence with singing.
  Know that the Lord is God.
  It is He that made us, and we are His.
  We are His people, and the sheep of His pasture.
  Enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise.
  Give thanks to Him, and bless His name.
  For the Lord is good.
  His steadfast love endures forever, and His faithfulness to all 
generations.
  Amen.
