January 6, 1968 - 1:20 p.m.

3

THE PRESIDENT: The Sergeant at Arms will clear

4

the aisles and close the doors.

5

The Convention will please come to order.

6

I think it is particularly fitting that today

7

the minister to deliver the invocation is the pastor of

8

the man who certainly more than any other delegate in

9

this room is responsible for the existence of this

10

Constitutional Convention. It, therefore, gives me a

11

great deal of personal pleasure to announce that the

12

invocation this morning will be offered by the Revarend

13

Donald Hurst, Immanuel Methodist Church, Crisfield,

14

Somerset County, Governor Tawes' pastor.

15

REVEREND HURST: Let us pray.

16

Our God, our Heavenly Father, as the final

17

hours of this State Constitutional Convention rush upon

18

us hear our prayer.

19

Now that much of the time consuming labor and

20

strenuous effort has been expended in the making of a

21

new Constitution, all that remains is the fullness of time
