The Senate assembled at 12:00 Noon, the hour to which it stood adjourned and was called to order by the PRESIDENT.
A quorum being present the proceedings were opened with a devotion by the Chaplain as follows:
Beloved, hear the words of Jesus as recorded in the Gospel of St. Mark (8:34-35):
"And when He had called the people unto
him with His disciples also, He said
`Whosoever will come after Me,
Let him deny himself, and
Take up his cross, and follow Me.'"
Let us pray.
Our Father in heaven, as our voices become hushed and we bow before Thee for this moment at the beginning of another week, we open our hearts to Thy pervading presence.
We are so caught up with the business and the ambitions of our society that we, sometimes, are tempted to forget that Yours is a higher way... a way of sacrifice and cross-bearing.
Your values are the golden standard for our life, and we hanker, too, after the idolatries of the golden calf of olden times.
We thank You, Lord, for the good tidings that come to us from the sick room of Thy servant, Ed Saleeby. Continue, O Lord, Your blessing upon him --- and his family --- in body and soul.
Amen!
