                                 PRAYER

  The Reverend Daniel P. Gallagher, Pastor, Edon Church of Christ, 
Edon, Ohio, offered the following prayer:
  O Lord, God of heaven and earth, there is no God like You. Your mercy 
and grace continue to shower down on Your servants, those of this great 
building who serve this Nation's people, a Nation started not by 
accident but by Your providence and watch care.
  I ask of You, Lord, to help guide these men and women to make 
decisions that will make this country better and stronger, not just in 
the physical sense but in the spiritual as well. Help these leaders to 
keep their eyes focused on Your desires to make this country what You 
intended her to be when You first brought people to its shores to be a 
``light on a hill'' for all the world to see. But, Father, may the 
world not see the might of this country but the Almighty, who is our 
Watchman. Amen.
