                                 PRAYER

  Reverend John Boonzaaijer, The Chapel of the Cross, Dallas, Texas, 
offered the following prayer:
  Almighty and everlasting God, heavenly Father and giver of all good 
things, we humbly beseech Thee to bless this good land with honorable 
industry, sound learning, and pure manners. Save us from confusion, 
pride, and from every evil way.
  Endue with the spirit of wisdom those to whom, in Thy name, we 
entrust the authority of government.
  Direct and prosper the consultations of this House to advance Thy 
kingdom for the safety, honor, and welfare of Thy people, establishing 
peace and happiness, truth and justice, religion and piety, that 
through obedience to Thy laws we may show forth Thy praise among the 
nations of the Earth, for all generations.
  In the time of prosperity, fill our hearts with thankfulness, and in 
the day of trouble, suffer not our trust in Thee to fail.
  All this we ask through the King of glory, our most blessed Lord and 
Savior, Jesus Christ.
  Amen.
