Indicates New Matter

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:

It didn't take long, Lord, for us to discover that in these places of leadership that criticism would inevitably come. Not one of us is immuned to it. So when criticism comes, as surely it will, help us to handle it aright: if it is untrue, help us to disregard it; if it is unfair, keep us steadfast in our efforts; if it is absent of facts, make us charitable; and most of all if it is justified, enable us to learn from it.

We make our prayer to an all-knowing God Who, in His wise providence, has placed us in these unique places of service to Your children and Who is always present to help us along the road of life. Amen.
