ON MONDAY, MAY 4, IN HIS HOMETOWN OF DETROIT, BEN WILL OFFICIALLY ANNOUNCE HIS CANDIDACY FOR U.S. PRESIDENT

A.  When General Washington resigned his commission from the army on April 26, 1783, he sent a letter to the governors of the thirteen States which concluded with a prayer:

   

 "Almighty God, we make our earnest prayer that Thou wilt keep the United States in Thy Holy protection, and ... wilt most graciously be pleased to dispose us all to do justice, to love mercy, and to demean ourselves with that charity, humility, and pacific temperance of mind which were characteristic of the Divine Author of our blessed religion, and without a humble imitation of whose example in these things we can never hope to be a happy nation." Annals, II, 607

 B.   On this day April 25,  1799, Dr. Jedediah Morse, minister and "the father of American geography", assessed the decision the country faced - and faces still, two centuries later:

    

"To the kindly influence of Christianity we owe that degree of civil freedom and political and social happiness which mankind now enjoys. In proportion as the genuine effects of Christianity are diminished in any nation ...  in the same proportion will the people of that nation recede from the blessings of genuine freedom ... Whenever the pillars of Christianity shall be overthrown, our present Republican forms of government and all the blessings which flow from them, must fall with them." Hall, Constitution, V.

C.   On this day April 27, 1822 Ulysses S. Grant was born. The former Commanding General of the Union Army was elected 18th President of the United States, and it was in this capacity that he wrote to the editor of the Sunday School Times in Philadelphia:

     "Hold fast to the Bible as the sheet anchor of you liberties; write its precepts in your hearts, and practice them in your lives. To the influence of this Book are we indebted for all the progress made in true civilization, and to this must we look as our guide in the future. 'Righteousness exalted a nation; but sin is a reproach to any people."

   

D.   Daniel Webster, speaking on April 29, 1837 of the Constitution stated:

     "I regard it as the work of the purest patriots and wisest statesmen that ever existed, aided by the smiles of a benignant Providence; for when we regard it as a system of government growing out of the discordant opinions and conflicting interests of thirteen independent States, it almost appears a Divine interposition in our belief ... The hand that destroys the Constitution rends our Union asunder forever." Hall & Slater, Bible and Constitution, 33

   E.   On this day April 30, 1789, on the balcony of Federal Hall in New York City, George Washington, the first President of the United States of America, took the oath of office. Then, embarrassed by the cheers of the multitude below, he went inside to address Congress:

     "It would be peculiarly improper to omit, in this first official act, my fervent supplication to that Almighty Being who rules over the universe, who presides in the council of nations, and whose providential aids can supply every human defect, that His benediction may consecrate to the liberties and happiness of the people of the United States.

F.     On this day April 24, 1865, in a memorial address concerning Abraham Lincoln, Schuyler Colfax, Speaker of the House of Representatives, recalled:

     "Nor should I forget to mention here that the last act of Congress ever signed by him was one requiring that the motto, in which he sincerely believed, 'In God we trust,' should hereafter be inscribed upon all our national coin." Colfax, Lincoln, 180
