The Senate assembled at 10:00 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:

Beloved, as we come to the final hours of this session of our General Assembly, receive a Benediction that has come down through the years:

"May the defense of the Most High

Be above and beneath you,

Around and within you,

In your going out and in

your coming in,

In your rising up

and in your going down,

All your days and all your

nights,

Until the DAWN when the Son of

Righteousness shall arise

With healing in His wings for

the people of the world"

By the grace of the God of us all!

Amen!

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