Indicates Matter Stricken Indicates New Matter

The House assembled at 2:00 P.M.

Deliberations were opened with prayer by the Chaplain of the House of Representatives, the Rev. Dr. Alton C. Clark as follows:

Thank You, Lord, for work to do and strength with which to do it. Show us clearly what our duty is and keep us faithful in doing it. Endow us with enthusiasm to attempt worthwhile things, and patience to see them through. Teach us that all our time is a gift from You, and that we are to use it well. May we conduct ourselves so that at the end of each day there is nothing to hide from You and nothing for which we cannot be thankful.

Keep firm within our minds that there is a difference between asking the Lord for help and expecting Him to do the whole job.

Amen.
