At 5:40 P.M., on motion of Senator WILLIAMS, the Senate adjourned to meet tomorrow at 11:00 A.M.

Indicates Matter Stricken
Indicates New Matter

The Senate assembled at 11:00 A.M., 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:

Confederate Memorial Day.
Beloved, hear works from the Epistle to the Hebrews, Chapter 11 (v. 16) (NRSV):

"But as it is, they desire a better

country, that is, a heavenly one.

Therefore, God is not ashamed to be

called their God; indeed, He has

prepared a city for them."
Let us pray.

God of the Nations, as we remember today the tragedy of our people, now more than a century and thirty years ago, we pray that our country may never again be torn asunder.

We solemnly give thanks for the memory of our forefathers, who

"True to the instincts of their birth,

Faithful to the teachings of their fathers,

Constant in their love for the State,

Suffered and died in the performance of

what they perceived to be their duty."

(Confederate Monument)

As we face our day and future days, we pray for a people like those

"Whom power could not corrupt,

Whom death could not terrify,

Whom defeat could not dishonor...

Teaching all who may claim the same birthright

that truth, courage and patriotism endure

forever." (Confederate Monument)

Grant to us in these days a new vision of the directions we should take and a total commitment to that which we feel is the Will of God, as we move toward the City of God under the banner of the Stars and Stripes. The stars are the States, the white and red stripes, the Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of Man.
