PLENARY SESSION
OCTOBER 19, 1967—2:00 P.M.
PRESIDENT H. VERNON ENEY,
PRESIDING
THE PRESIDENT: The Sergeant-at-
Arms will clear the aisles and close the
doors.
The Convention will please come to order.
The invocation today will be offered by
the Reverend Edward Reter, Howard Park
Methodist Church in Baltimore City. Rev-
erend Reter.
REVEREND RETER: In quietness, Oh,
God, we compose ourselves before we take
up the duties awaiting us now. Clarify
our vision and deepen our understanding
that we may honorably and faithfully ful-
fill the responsibilities vested in us. Keep
us mindful, Oh, God, that by our judicious
planning today, tomorrow will be less bur-
dened by apprehension, needless sacrifice,
and unnecessary waste. Knowing that fu-
ture generations will inherit the fruits of
our labor, set us anew at our task today
with judgment unimpaired, zeal and ambi-
tion unfaltering, thus proving worthy of
our good heritage.
Save the State, Oh, God, from the ty-
ranny of misused freedom, from chaos
born of contempt of law; from apathy and
lethargy; from an unconcerned citizenry.
Make haste to deliver us from ill-conceived |
