Indicates Matter Stricken
Indicates New Matter

The Senate assembled at 2:30 P.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:

Beloved, as we commemorate Memorial Day, 1995, hear words from the 133rd Psalm (NRSV):

"How very good and pleasant it is

when kindred live together in unity!

It is like the precious oil on the head,

running down upon the beard, on the

beard of Aaron...

It is like the dew of Hermon, which falls

on the mountains of Zion.

For there the Lord ordained His blessing,

life forevermore."
Let us pray.

Lord God of Hosts, as we observe Memorial Day 1995, our hearts are somewhat warmed when we are told that after the so-called Civil War that flowers were placed upon the graves of soldiers by survivors of opposing sides. Southerners placed flowers upon the graves of Northerners, and Northerners gave their flowers to Southern graves.

As we face the future, we pray that our national goals will be for such justice, charity and loyal brotherhood that this country will remain ONE NATION UNDER GOD as long as planet earth remains intact.

"God bless our native land!

For her our prayers shall rise

To God above the skies;

On Him we wait.

Thou Who art ever nigh,

Guarding with watchful eye,

To Thee aloud we cry,

God save the State!"

Amen!

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