The House assembled at 10:00 A.M.

Deliberations were opened with prayer by the Chaplain of the House of Representatives, the Rev. Dr. Alton C. Clark as follows:

Almighty God, always more ready to hear than we to pray, stretch forth the hand of Thy love to give us courage for the tasks awaiting us. May our relationships with one another be marked with understanding and charity. When we differ, let us not become difficult in our differences, or disagreeable in our disagreements, or disturbing in our disturbances. Grant to us such a full measure of Thy wisdom that we may think clearly, speak with knowledge, and act creatively for the best interest of our great State. Let not self-interest blind us to the highest good or self-concern blot from our eyes the vision of truth or self-seeking blur our concepts of righteousness.

We pray in the Name of Him Who is our Lord and Saviour.

Amen.
