A quorum of the House was an-
nounced present.
The Invocation was offered by the
Reverend Clinton Kersey, Chaplain,
as follows:
"We read in God's Word, Ecclesi-
astes 12:13-14, 'Let us hear the con-
clusion of the whole matter: Fear
God, and keep his commandments:
for this is the whole duty of man.
For God shall bring every work into
judgment, with every secret thing,
whether it be good, or whether it
be evil.'
Let us pray. Almighty God, we
thank Thee for our success thus
far in our lives. May we use our
mistakes of the past to make us and
our State more in accord with Thy
desires that the dignity of man be
protected. Help us to remember the
important things-truth, righteous-
ness, love. Make the desires of our
hearts pleasing unto Thee. In
Christ's Name.-Amen."LEAVE OF ABSENCE GRANTED

ed leave of absence on account of
