CONGRESSIONAL RECORD-HOUSE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TUESDAY, DECEMBER 23, 1941 The House met at 12 o'clock noon, and was called to order by the Speaker pro tempore, Mr. COLE of Maryland. The Chaplain, Rev. James Shera Montgomery, D. D.. offered the following prayer: O Thou who hast measured the waters in the hollow of Thy hand and meted out heaven with a span and weighed the mountains in scales, Thou hast come, and the people who walk in darkness have seen a great light. We praise Thee that eternity has broken into time and the multitudes with the heavenly hosts are singing: "Peace on earth to men of good will." We rejoice to believe that His name shall be called "Wonderful" to the end of time, spreading light like the dawn, His eternal mission being to heal wounds, open prison doors, and give liberty to the captives. Almighty God. while the lights of the world are going out, we rejoice that there is one light that can never be darkened. Allow not the shadows of war to dim the joys of the holy advent. Amid the clashing elements of the years, once again we hear the voice of Him whose patience and long suffering are to help man up to God. Blessed Lord, if our country's soul is to be made strong it must come through our Saviour unlocking the door of human life. O Star of Bethlehem, shine upon us that our mystery-laden life may be free from all bitterness and hate. May it take on the spirit of the manger with its sweet serenity and heavenly humility, seeking the friendless, the homeless, and the hunger-bitten ones who have wandered long for rest. In our Saviour's name, we pray. Amen. The Journal of the proceedings of Saturday, December 20, 1941, was read and approved.
