American Minute with Bill Federer
NOV 23 – ‘There is no national security but in the nation’s humble dependence upon God…’

His only son, 11-year-old Bennie, was killed when their campaign train rolled off its tracks.
This happened to 14th President Franklin Pierce, who was born NOVEMBER 23, 1804. Elected to Congress at age 29, Franklin Pierce was a Senator at 33.
Pierce’s leg was crushed at the Battle of Churubusco. Franklin Pierce ran for President against General Winfield Scott, whom he had served under during the War. Before he died, Franklin Pierce was baptized in St. Paul’s Episcopal Church in Concord. Great for Thanksgiving! PRAYERS AND PRESIDENTS-Inspiring Faith from Leaders of the Past “Whether in sorrow or success he has learned…that religious faith is the most valuable…of human possessions… With this sense, there has come…a wide sympathy for the modes of Christian worship and a reverence for religious belief as a matter between the Deity and man’s soul.”
“It must be felt that there is no national security but in the nation’s humble, acknowledged dependence upon God and His overruling Providence.” Watch Faith in History |
