                            ALASKA STATE LEGISLATURE                           
                   TWENTY-FIRST LEGISLATURE - SECOND SESSION                   
                                                                               
Juneau, Alaska                                                                 
                                                                               
                               Eighty-eighth Day                               
                                                                               
Pursuant to adjournment the Senate was called to order by President            
Pearce at 11:11 a.m.                                                           
                                                                               
The roll showed twenty members present.                                        
                                                                               
The prayer was offered by the Chaplain, Robin Walz of the Juneau               
Friends Meeting. Senator Hoffman moved and asked unanimous                     
consent that the prayer be spread. Without objection, it was so                
ordered.                                                                       
                                                                               
The theme of todays prayer is community. The                                  
reading comes from John Woolman (1754), a                                      
Quaker who helped establish the Society of Friends                             
in America in the 18th century. The reading will be                            
followed by a few moments of quiet reflection.                                 
                                                                               
To consider mankind as other than brethren, to                                
think favours are peculiar to one nation and exclude                           
others, plainly supposes a darkness in the                                     
understanding. For as Gods love is universal, so                               
where the mind is sufficiently influenced by it, it                            
begets a likeness of itself and the heart is enlarged                          
toward all men.                              Amen.                             
                                                                               
                                                                               
Senator Leman led the Senate in the Pledge of Allegiance.
