                                 PRAYER

  Reverend Eugene Hemrick, Washington Theological Union, Washington, 
D.C., offered the following prayer:
  In Psalm 133 we read:

       How good and how pleasant it is when brothers live in 
     unity.
       It is like the dew of Hermon which falls on the heights of 
     Zion. For there the Lord gives his blessing, life forever.

  Lord, we pray that in a world filled with divisions and strife You 
will bless this Congress with the wisdom needed to generate the life-
giving unity lauded by the psalmists.
