The House assembled at 2:00 P.M.
Deliberations were opened with prayer by the Chaplain of the House of Representatives, the Rev. Dr. Alton C. Clark as follows:
Almighty God and Father, as we face the awaiting responsibilities of this day, may we move forward with courage, confidence and composure knowing that You are the constant Companion of those who claim Your presence. Make us tolerate nothing within our lives which, if multiplied, would harm our great State. Teach us to know that our beloved South Carolina will be no better than its citizens and no stronger than those in whom it puts its trust. Knowing our weakness, may we accept Your strength. And with Your blessings upon us, we need not fear decisions, or hesitate to move forward. So use us, guide us and move through us that we may be an ever increasing part in making the American dream come true.
We pray in Jesus Name. Amen.
