                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Reverend James David Ford, D.D., offered the following 
prayer:
  Let us pray using the words of Katherine Davis:
Let all things now living
A song of thanksgiving
To God the creator triumphantly raise,
Who fashioned and made us,
Protected and stayed us,
Who still guides us on to the end of our days.
God's banners are o'er us,
His light goes before us,
A pillar of fire shining forth in the night,
Till shadows have vanquished
And darkness is banished,
As forward we travel from light into light. Amen.
