The House assembled at 9:30 A.M.
Deliberations were opened with prayer by the Chaplain of the House of Representatives, the Rev. Dr. Alton C. Clark as follows:
Help us, good Lord, to so conduct ourselves this day as to be neither afraid of tomorrow and ashamed of yesterday, and give us the desire to heed the directions that God gives. Teach us that it is better to forgive and forget than to remember and resent. Cause us to see that difficulties are to make us better, not bitter; that no cloud is so dark but that there's a rainbow in it. God forbid that we should be so busy planning for a rainy day that we cannot see today's sunshine.
Keep us steadfast in the words of the Psalmist: "God is our Refuge and Strength." (Psalm 46:1a) Amen.
