A quorum being present the proceedings were opened with a devotion by the Chaplain as follows:

Beloved, hear St. Luke's record of a special word on stewardship... in Phillips' rendering, Chapter 12 (48b):
"Every one to whom much is given,
of him will much be required; and
Of him to whom men commit much
they will demand the more."
Let us pray.

Lord of our planet, the Master of our consciences, You have given us much as a nation and as a State.

We thank You for our resources... both human and material... with an honorable past and a promising future.

We humble ourselves... and confess to You that we realize that we shall come under Your judgment if we fail to try to do, in our generation... and in the hour of our responsibility... those things that our consciences tell us ought... and must... be done for the continuing stability, growth, and development of our State as a worthy home for our children and Yours.

Keep us, O Lord, steadfast in the faith... and faithful in every hour of our stewardship... in the Name of the Lord of Hosts.

Amen.
