Mr. Speaker presiding.
Roll called.
All present except Assemblymen Buckley and Collins, who were excused.
Prayer by the Chaplain, Pastor Albert Tilstra.
Forbid it, Lord, that “we should walk through your beautiful world with unseeing eyes.” Forgive us, our Father, for taking our good things for granted, so that we are in danger of losing the fine art of appreciation. With such dire need in every other part of the world, make us so grateful for the bounties we enjoy that we shall try, by Your help, to deserve them more. Where we are wrong, make us willing to change, and where we are right, make us easy to live with. In Your Name we pray.
Amen.
Pledge of allegiance to the Flag.
