                                 PRAYER

  Reverend Dr. Dan C. Cummins, Capitol Worship, Washington, D.C., 
offered the following prayer:
  Almighty and righteous Father, how good and how pleasant it is for us 
to dwell together in unity.
  Anoint us with the oil of gladness so we may walk and work together 
in all loving kindness.
  Let us attend to Your words to gain understanding and wisdom, that 
forsaking not Your law, we may produce sound legislation for these, 
Your people.
  Have mercy upon us when we have sinned and fallen short of Your 
expectations.
  Therefore, let us stand fast and hold the traditions which we have 
been taught by Your everlasting word.
  Now may our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God, even our Father, 
which hath loved us and given us everlasting life, comfort our hearts 
and establish us in every good work.
  Now unto the lamb that was slain to receive power, honor, and glory, 
who now sits upon Thy throne forever, unto him, Christ Jesus our Lord 
eternal.
  Amen.
