LET'S HAVE A
NOW PRAYER

One of the anti-deluvian customs
legislative ref0rmers always turn the
blind eve to- is that of having chap
lain utter a few words of solemn
bunk every day preceding the open
ing Of the session. 1t does not seem
to do anybody any good with the eX-
ception of the chaplain who receives
six dollars of the peoples money for
the archaic performance. / have no
desire to see the present sl<y-pilot
thrown out of his job because he is
a genial if useless appendage to Che
Assembly. But his prayer doesn't
seem to have any influence with
God, members of the legislature or
anybody else I believe in the psy-
Geological effect Of prayer, that is, a
prayer set in the right kind of words.
Z would, therefore, biggest that the
prayer be improved to read:
81 pray the Lord to protect the
members of this house from the
forces of evil all around them. I
nope He will keep a watchful eye Ov-
ar you when you meet lobbyist
with a filed drug store prescription
in his suitcase. I hope God viii give
