The Senate assembled at 1:00 P.M., the hour to which it stood adjourned and was called to order by the PRESIDENT.
A quorum being present the proceedings were opened with a devotion by the Chaplain as follows:
Beloved, the psalmist wrote in the 105th Psalm (vv. 16-17):
"Next He called down famine on the
land.
He broke their staff, that is, their
bread.
He sent a man before them... Joseph..."
Let us pray.
Our Father, in our country we have for so long become accustomed to an abundance of almost everything; while so much of the rest of the world lies in want... and in need of so much. We have become spoiled by plenty, and luxuries have become necessities.
Shatter, O Lord, the illusion that it will always be so with us. Help us to realize that managing surpluses may not always be our problem... on a state or national level.
And so, as we continue our budget discussions, help us to be faithful underservants in the care and distribution of our resources. May our horn of plenty not become empty! Spare our people the consequences of voracious appetites of greed, gluttony... and selfishness.
We pray in the Name of the God that has richly blessed us and expects us to exercise our freedoms with restraints.
Amen.
The PRESIDENT called for Petitions, Memorials, Presentments of Grand Juries and such like papers.
