WASHINGTON, MONDAY, JANUARY 29, 1962
Senate
e Senate met at 12 o'clock noon,
and as called to order by the Vice
I'resi t.
The plain, Rev. Frederick Brown
Harris, D., offered the following
prayer:
Et' rngl Godur Father, as with our
harms filled wit fi the perplexing tasks
o _ the present wA turn to Thee for
trength, may our eyy .g not be oblivious
to the beauty that bloc s by the side
of today's pathway-for tglory of the
way, as well as its obligation's Thy gift.
And now as our earth spi in space
.and another day is before us, so oon to
be behind us forever, we know tha only
this once can we seize the day for w 'ch
now we crave Thy blessing and approv i.
May we live it in the light of the
yesterdays into whose labors we have
entered, as the past warns us by its
errors, informs us by its achievements,
and inspires us by its sacrifices.
In our stewardship of today, and of
the days to be that may be granted, we
are thankful for the friends whose faith
calls out the hidden best that is in us,
for children who call us by the holiest
name men and women may ever know,
and for the challenge to our utmost, in
which we rejoice as strong men prepar-
ing to run a race.
Thus, before our little day ebbs out
and our work is done, with patience and
courage may we serve the present age
our calling to f ulfill.
We ask- it in the Redeemer's name.
Amen.
