                                 PRAYER

  The Reverend Gene Hemrick, Washington Theological Union, Washington, 
D.C., offered the following prayer:
  Lord, we pray for the victims of Hurricane Sandy, especially those 
who lost their lives, the displaced elderly, those with children, the 
millions without power, and those who have lost homes and businesses.
  We pray that as in the past we have responded generously to those in 
dire need, all means available to us will be used to normalize life and 
restore calm. May we imitate Your loving heart in this moment of 
disaster and come together as one--the divine oneness that has the 
power to overcome all. Amen.
