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

Beloved, hear a word from the Book of Ecclesiastes, Chapter 8 (vv.2,3):

"Keep the king's command because of your

sacred oath.

Do not be terrified... do not delay

when a matter is unpleasant."
Let us pray.

Our Father-God, we penitently acknowledge that the discords that mark the outer life of our society are but the reflections of the inner tensions and disharmonies of human nature... whether at home or in far away places.

The preacher in Ecclesiastes tells us the same story about the bitter experiences of the human race in history: that it has been this way for a long time.

We also know by divine inspiration that the only cure for our ills is nothing short of the renewal of the human spirit by the redeeming Spirit of the Living God.

Grant to us, O Lord, in our corporate civil life a qualitative overflow of the spiritual values in the Jewish Passover and the Christian Holy Week.

Amen.

The PRESIDENT called for Petitions, Memorials, Presentments of Grand Juries and such like papers.
