                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Reverend James David Ford, D.D., offered the following 
prayer:
  Let us pray using the words of Psalm 92:

     It is good to give thanks to the Lord,
     To sing praises to Your name, O most high;
     to declare Your steadfast love in the morning,
     And Your faithfulness by night,
     to the music of the lute and the harp,
     to the melody of the lyre.
     For you, O God, have made me
     glad by Your work;
     at the works of Your hands I sing for joy.

     Amen.
