Excerpts from "Glory of America" A Calendar of Patriotic thoughts foundational to a traditional America.

DEC. 22ND:

      On this day in 1820, speaking at the Pilgrim Bicentennial, Massachusetts Senator Daniel Webster recalled the little band that had left such a profound impression:

 

    "Our fathers were brought hither by their high veneration for the Christian religion. They journeyed by its light, and labored in its hope. They sought to incorporate its principles with the elements of their society, and to diffuse its influence through all their institutions, civil, political, or literary. 

 

    Let us cherish these sentiments, and extend this influence still more wildly; in the full conviction that that is the happiest society which partakes in the highest degree of the mild and peaceful spirit of Christianity."  Lewis, Daniel, 86

 

DEC. 20TH:

      In 1776, Founding Father John Adams wrote:

 

    "Statesmen, my dear Sir, may plan and speculate for liberty, but it is religion and morality alone which establish the principles upon which Freedom cab securely stand. The only foundation of a free Constitution is pure virtue, and if this cannot be inspired into our people in a greater measure, than they have it now, they change their rulers and the forms of government, but they will obtain a lasting liberty."   Barton, Myth, 123                                                                            

 

DEC. 25TH:

      In 1857, John Quincy Adams, said:

 

  "In the chain of events, the birthday of the nation is indissolubly linked with the birthday of the Savior... The Declaration of Independence first organized the social compact on the foundation of the Redeemer's mission... It laid the cornerstone of human government upon the first precepts of Christianity, and gave to the world the first irrevocable pledge of the fulfillment of the prophecies announced directly from Heaven at the birth of the Savior, and predicted by the greatest of the Hebrew prophets 600 years before." Foster Covenant, 18-19

 

DEC. 26TH:

    "In the last days of 1862, the Reverend Byron Sunderland, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church of Washington, D.C., went with some friends of the President to call upon him, President Lincoln said:

 

    "The ways of God are mysterious and profound beyond all comprehension - 'Who by searching can find him out?' God only knows the issue of this business. He has destroyed nations from the map of history for their sins. Nevertheless, my hopes prevail generally above my fears for our Republic. The times are dark, the spirits of ruin are abroad in all their power and the mercy of God alone can save us." Johnson, Lincoln, 101

 

MERRY CHRISTMAS,

 P.S.   Will we have a "Woke" and Karl Marx ideology ruling America? With shootings, weekly, in Chicago, we had thus far this year 85 children murdered in cold blood. Who cares? The culture of death which rules is not the answer.
