... of the most powerful nation in history. The words of course are - In God We Trust. It is interesting to know where this motto came from and how it came to be put on our currency. During the Civil War, Secretary of the Treasury, Salmon P. Chase received a letter from a pastor in Pennsylvania named M. R. Watkinson. The letter simply stated, Dear Sir: You are about to submit your annual report to the congress respecting the affairs of the national finances. One fact touching our currency has hitherto been ...

Sermon

... presidential nomination race, Lincoln was clearly the dark horse candidate. His rivals were all better known and possessed more experience. The chief rival was the well-known senator and former governor of New York, William H. Seward. Ohio Governor Salmon P. Chase was at the forefront of the nascent Republican Party and clearly better qualified, at least on paper, than Lincoln. The distinguished elder statesman from Missouri, Edward Bates, had served his state and nation in many avenues and seemed poised ...

... perfect team for the task at hand. In the 1860 Republican presidential nomination race, Lincoln was clearly the dark horse candidate. His rivals were all better known and possessed more experience: New York Senator William H. Seward, Ohio Governor Salmon P. Chase, and the distinguished elder statesman from Missouri, Edward Bates. All three had studied law, were great orators, and opposed slavery. Historians attribute Lincoln’s nomination to chance. It is very interesting that when Lincoln took the oath of ...

... motto inscribed on our coins “In God We Trust"? Do we or don't we? Isn't that the real question of life? What's impossible with us is possible with God. The year was 1861. Our nation was engaged in a bloody civil war. Then Treasury Secretary Salmon P. Chase sent a letter which in part said, “No nation can be strong except in the strength of God, or safe except in his defense. The trust of our people should be declared on our national coins," so originated the words “In God We Trust." Why? Because what ...

... an unknown person on the national political scene. All of his rivals in the quest for the Republican presidential nomination were better known and generally speaking eminently more qualified than he: New York Senator William B. Seward, Ohio Governor Salmon P. Chase, and Edward Bates, a distinguished elder statesman from Missouri. Yet through some excellent politicking and a sense of determination, not only did Lincoln win the nomination but the White House when the Democrats split their votes between two ...

The Miracle Of A Woman's Faith In the miracle of Jesus' healing a Canaanite mother's demon-possessed daughter, we confront a different kind of Jesus. Is he the same Jesus whom we often describe as "meek and mild?" Can this be the same man who blesses little children, gives sight to a blind beggar, forgives an adulterous woman, heals a lady by her touch of his garment, and tells the story of a Good Samaritan? Here we experience a Jesus who does not seem to fit into this portrait. He ignores a woman's cry ...
