A quorum being present the proceedings were opened with a devotion by the Chaplain as follows:

Beloved, these are stewardship days. Hear St. Paul to the Romans, Chapter 12 (vv. 6-7) (NRSV):

"We have gifts that differ according

to the grace given to us:

Prophecy, in proportion to faith;

Ministry, in ministering; the teacher, in

teaching; the exhorter, in exhortation;

The giver, in generosity; the leader, in

diligence; the compassionate, in cheerfulness."
Let us pray.

Lord God of us all, as we come, refreshed, to face the opportunities and pressures of a new week, with its unknown demands, its strange problems, and its unrevealed risks, we pray for a fresh vision of what is good for South Carolina. We pray for a new and clearer revelation of Your will for our common life.

As we take up the budget, give us the wisdom and judgment of Solomon, and the patience of Job.

We remember before Your Throne of Grace our colleague, Your servant, John Land, in the passing from this life of his mother. Grant the comfort and peace of the Gospel upon him and his family.

So, dear Lord, grant to us all, Your servants, each in our own spheres of responsibility, strength to labor, patience to endure, and perseverance in the things that really matter.

Amen.

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