                                 PRAYER

  The Reverend Dr. Richard Camp, Ministry to the National Parks, 
Boston, Massachusetts, offered the following prayer:
  Oh Lord, our Lord, how majestic is Your name in all the Earth. Your 
never ending providence orders every event, sweetens every fear, and 
brings real good out of seeming evil. We come to You for the grace 
another day will require for its duties and events.
  Help us to walk in wisdom to those to whom we must give account, to 
walk in kindness to those with whom we work, and to walk with courage 
as we seek to do what is right.
  Guide the women and men of this Congress today. Give them the vision 
to see the impact of today's decisions on tomorrow's world. And may the 
ripple effect of their lives of integrity return to bless them and all 
people in the days ahead.
  God of hope, fill us with joy and peace as we trust in You that, by 
the power of Your spirit, our whole life and outlook may be radiant 
with hope. Amen.
