The House assembled at 12:00 Noon.
Deliberations were opened with prayer by the Chaplain of the House of Representatives, the Rev. Dr. Alton C. Clark as follows:
Inspire us, good Lord, to be good stewards of the time You give us, always remembering that counting time is not nearly so important as making time count. Teach us that a limited talent used is worth infinitely more than a genius that is idle, and that time lost is never found again. Give us such dauntless trust in God as to enable us to go beyond what we can see. Make us to understand that knowing how to make a living is good, but knowing how to live is better.
To You, our God, be all honor and glory forever. Amen.
