The Senate assembled at 12:00 Noon, 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:

Joshua 1:9b

Over and again, O Lord, we find Joshua admonished by you as you call upon him to, "Be strong and courageous."

Please bow with me as we pray together. Surely, O Lord, with people of the world, as fractious, angry and troubled as we know many to be --the burdens upon any person in governmental leadership are so very great. So we do indeed call upon You, dear God, to grant to each man and woman serving here in the Senate of South Carolina also to be strong and courageous, as was Joshua urged to be. They must be so in order to help us as a State to continue to move forward, of course. But also they must be strong and courageous in order to stand up against forces that strive to diminish the good that Democracy is all about. So in the weeks and months to come during this new term, Lord, may these Senators and their aides represent the very best that real leadership has always been about. And through their collective wisdom and caring spirit, may they always work together, bringing about good for everyone. So we pray in Your loving name, dear Lord. Amen.

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