NO. 31
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:
Joshua 4:9
In the book of Joshua we read that: "Joshua set up twelve stones in the middle of the Jordan, in the place where the feet of the priests bearing the ark of the covenant had stood; and they are there to this day."
Let us together bow: Clearly, O Lord, it is apparent that Joshua was creating a memorial. By placing those stones in the Jordan, he was determined that succeeding generations of Israelites would well remember a significant time of their early history. And shifting to today, this leads us to ponder: what sort of "memorial" will the women and men of this Senate leave behind? What will be the lasting legacy of this Senate? Will it be a memorial that is worthy and genuinely meaningful, one that speaks to how life has been made better for our people? We pray fervently, Lord, that these Senators will indeed leave such a powerful and longlasting memorial. And, as always, Lord, we pray in Your name that the ultimate glory is Yours. Amen.
The PRESIDENT called for Petitions, Memorials, Presentments of Grand Juries and such like papers.
