Indicates New Matter
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:
Today, Lord, we pray again for a double measure of Your direction and guidance for the demands of the consideration of this new State budget call for a double measure of wisdom and understanding. As we deliberate the numerous aspects of this budget which impacts the lives of so many of Your people--both for now and in the days to come--help us to ask the right questions:
Not "is it expedient?", but "is it equitable?"
Not "is it popular?", but "is it prudent?"
Not "is it impressive?", but "is it important?"
Not "does it look good?", but "does it do good?"
Give us the courage to do what is right in the eyes of God, and the perception to know what is right. Amen.
