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:
Beloved, hear the words of Psalm 115 (v.16):
"The heavens are the Lord's heavens,
But the earth He has given to human beings."
Let us pray.
Eternal and all-wonderful God, from whom cometh every good and perfect gift; we send up our thanks for the gift of life... and for the ability to think!
We thank You for work to do... and for duty that shows the way.
Enlarge, O Lord, our concepts as to what it means to belong to a world community in these days!
Take our lives, today, cleansed and renewed, and use them as our installment payment toward making a better world...
In the Name of the Messiah!
Amen.
The PRESIDENT called for Petitions, Memorials, Presentments of Grand Juries and such like papers.
