PRESIDING
THE PRESIDENT: The Convention will
please come to order.
The invocation today will be offered by
the Reverend William G. Migliorini of the
Shrine of the Secred Heart, Baltimore City.
Father Migliorini.
REVEREND MIGLIORINI: Almighty
God, from the beginning of time you have
shown your love and concern for man. To
Abraham you gave the seed of many na-
tions. To Moses the law for your people.
Today let the glory of the kingdom all in
preparation for the great gift, the coming
of your Son. Under Him we have learned
a great lesson of love of man for man. To-
day as we continue this concern of love of
man for man, we ask You that we may take
our beginnings from You and through You
may all our work be brought to its com-
pletion through Christ, our Lord. Amen.

Recommendation JB-I comprising the en-
tire judicial article, Committee Memoran-
