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:

Beloved, hear the words of the Prophet Isaiah (30:15):

"For thus saith the Lord God,

the Holy One of Israel;

'In repentance and rest is your

salvation,

In quietness and trust is your

strength,...'"
Let us pray.

Most gracious Lord, merciful Father, for a fresh new day full of new and continuing challenges, we give Thee thanks!

We pray for wisdom... and strength... and patience beyond our own... that we may be able to make our democratic system work well... that others in the world, who yearn for freedom... and justice... and the privilege to govern themselves, may gain new strength for the struggle by our example and our help.

Keep us firm in our devotion to the truth, and genuine in our desire to strengthen the moral and spiritual fiber of our State as both a prerequisite as well as a consequence of our quest for the good life.

Hold us true to our people's trust... today... and to Thee we shall ascribe all honor and praise.

Amen.

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