The House assembled at 10:00 a.m.
Deliberations were opened with prayer by Representative J. H. NEAL, as follows:
Our thought for today is from Psalm 15:1-2: "Lord, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? Who shall dwell in thy holy hill? He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and speaketh the truth in his heart. "
Let us pray. Almighty Father, we call on You at this hour asking once again for Your blessings upon all who are gathered here. We are asking, Father, that You send Your ministering angels to be rounded about this place. We ask today, Father, that You send Your blessing upon this State and this Nation. We ask Your guiding hand in our deliberations as we, in this place, labor in this vineyard. We ask You to help us to walk justly. Help us, Father, to give mercy, and help us, Father, to seek righteousness, and now, Father, with all those things, we ask that you also give us compassion and wisdom. Let us all say Amen.
