The Senate met at 12 o'clock merid-
ian, and was called to order by the
President pro tempore.
The Chaplain, Rev. Frederick Brown
Harris, D.D., offered the following
prayer:
God of our fathers: At another week's
beginning, from the tumult of an angry,
agitated world, we seek the sanctuary
of Thy overshadowing presence, not that
we may escape from the world, but that
we may turn with confident spirits and
quiet minds to the perplexing maze of
? its tangled problems.
In these challenging days, when so
many hopes are being dashed to the,
ground, so many once radiant dreams
dimmed, help us to rest our minds i
Thee and in the strength of the everlast:
ing verities and values which nothing
can shake.
As we play our part in this age on ages
telling, make us large hearted in help-
ing and cautious in criticizing. Keep us
from unkind words and from unkind
silences, yet sure and strong in the faith
that is in us, whenever and wherever we
are called to take our stand. Join us to
the seers and prophets of the past who
have gone ahead of the lagging crowd to
climb the beckoning hilltops of human-
ity's highest hopes.
We ask it in the dear Redeemer's
name. Amen.
