I have other work to do, but here is just one of MANY of our countries
heroes who led us as "One Nation Under God"...............


"Those who deny freedom to others, deserve it not for themselves; and, under
a just God, can not long retain it." ..............Abraham Lincoln , "Letter
To Henry L. Pierce and Others" (April 6, 1859), p. 376.

"Common looking people are the best in the world: that is the reason the
Lord makes so many of them." Lincoln and the Civil War In the Diaries and
Letters of John Hay selected by Tyler Dennett (Da Capo Press, New York,
1988), p. 143.

"In regard to this Great Book, I have but to say, it is the best gift God
has given to man. All the good the Savior gave to the world was communicated
through this book." The Collected Works of Abraham Lincoln edited by Roy P.
Basler, Volume VII, "Reply to Loyal Colored People of Baltimore upon
Presentation of a Bible" (September 7, 1864), p. 542.
