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:

Hebrews 10: 35-36

"So do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded. You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised."

Let us pray. Gracious and loving God, You are the source of who we are and what we can become. Indeed we have been blessed beyond measure but sometimes the road we choose to travel is difficult. What Your Word implores us to do is to not give up but rather to persevere. As Samuel Johnson once said, "Great works are performed not by strength but by perseverance." God wants to do a great work in you -- and calls upon you to take off the mantle of discouragement and put on the armor of God so that perseverance can be your engine and faith your fuel. Through Your Holy name we pray, Amen.

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