                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Rev. James David Ford, D.D., offered the following 
prayer:
  Let us pray using the words of William W. Reid, Jr.:
  O God of every nation, of every race and land, redeem Your whole 
creation, with Your almighty hand; where hate and fear divide us, and 
bitter threats are hurled, in love and mercy guide us and heal our 
strife torn world. Amen.
