mittee chairmen? Delegate Penniman.

DELEGATE ULRICH: Mr. President, I
would like the Convention to welcome Mr.
and Mrs. Charles Gosnell, two teachers
from Andover High School in Linthicum
Heights.
THE PRESIDENT: Delighted to have
them. Delegate Weidemeyer.
DELEGATE WEIDEMEYER: Mr. Pres-
ident, members of the Convention, in a
little humorous vein I asked Delegate White
today to define an amendment. He refused.
I also asked Delegate Jett. He said he
would not use the language necessary in
these halls and I thought maybe the Presi-
dent might have had just as much, if not
more, experience and could give me a defi-
nition tomorrow.
THE PRESIDENT: Are there any other
announcements?
(There was no response.)
Any delegates present now not present at
roll call this afternoon may indicate their
presence on supplemental roll call.
(Whereupon a roll call vote was taken.)
THE PRESIDENT: The Clerk will re-
cord the supplemental roll call.
The Chair recognizes Delegate Powers.
DELEGATE POWERS: Mr. President,
I move we adjourn until 10:00 A.M. tomor-
row morning.
THE PRESIDENT: All those in favor,
signify by saying Aye; contrary, No. The
ayes have it. It is so ordered.
(Whereupon, the Convention was ad-
journed at 6:15 P.M., to reconvene at 1 0:00
A.M. on Thursday, December S, IPttT.)

PRESIDENT H. VERNON ENEY,
PRESIDING
THE PRESIDENT: The Convention will
please come to order.
The invocation this morning will be
offered by the Reverend Robert Newbold
of Grace Presbyterian Church in Balti-
more City. Reverend Newbold is Delegate
Gill's minister.
REVEREND NEWBOLD: Let us pray.
Eternal God, our Heavenly Father, we
thank Thee for those whom Thou hast
called to be Members of this Convention,
for those individuals who have affirmatively
responded to Thy call, indicating their will-
ingness to give generously of their time
and liberally of their talents.
We pray that Thy Holy Spirit may at-
tend them not only in today's session but in
the remaining sessions so that they may
focus upon the common good; so that they
may disagree without becoming disagree-
able; so that the emphasis may be on peo-
ple and not politics; so that there may be a
sense of the guidance of Thy Holy Spirit.
We pray that what is said and done
during this day's session particularly may
be said and done to Thy honor and to Thy
glory.
In the name of the Father and of the
Son and of the Holy Spirit.
Amen.
THE PRESIDENT: Roll call.
Has every delegate answered roll call?
The Clerk will record the roll call.
There being a quorum present, the Con-
vention is in session.
The Chair recognizes Delegate Powers,
Chairman of the Committee on Calendar

DELEGATE POWERS: Mr. President,
I move the calendar be amended so as to
permit resuming consideration of Commit-
tee Recommendation S&E-2 and as so
amended that the daily calendar and
agenda be adopted.
(Whereupon, the motion was seconded.)
