American History 101: In God We Trust

"No nation can be strong except in the strength of God, or safe except in His defense.
The trust of our people in God should be declared on our national coins."
-Salmon P. Chase
(1808-1873)
Sixth Chief Justice of the United States of America

During the time of the Civil War, when Americans fought other Americans on
blood-soaked battlefields across the South, Chief Justice Salmon P. Chase strongly
believed our war-torn nation should publicly proclaim trust in God.  In 1863, the
United States Congress passed legislation which approved the design of the
 slogan, "Our God and Our Country" on the front of a prototype 2 cents coin,
with the words, "In God We Trust" on the back.

Congress approved the design on April 22, 1864 and the first coins with
these mottos began to circulate that same year.   Although laws passed

 in 1865 and 1873 would remove the words, "Our God and Our Country" 
 "In God We Trust"  still remains on America's coins today.

In 1956, President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed into law a bill
which declared "In God We Trust" as America's official motto.
Under this legislation, Congress further authorized the use of this
 phrase, printed in capital letters, on all United States paper currency.

A Trip To The Zoo...And Snow Leopards Too!

All things bright and beautiful

All creatures great and small

All things wise and wonderful

The Lord God made them all.

This past Tuesday we took a trip down to the beautiful zoo in Cape May County
as a special birthday treat for my oldest son, Daniel.  The fickle weather of
spring provided a mostly sunny day, although a bit on the cool side, with
a brisk wind blowing in off the nearby ocean.  It has been exactly one
year since our last trip to the zoo, which serves as a wildlife sanctuary for
some of the world's most endangered animals. My favorite exhibit are the
Asian Snow Leopards, which my son captured on his cell phone camera
in the middle of one of their daily grooming sessions.  Enjoy!

The Glory Of Spring How Sweet

 "For how great is His goodness, and how great is His beauty!
Corn shall make the young men cheerful, and new wine the maids.
Ask ye of the Lord rain in the time of the latter rain; so the Lord
shall make bright clouds, and give them showers of rain,
to every one grass in the field."
(Zechariah 9:17, 10:1)

The glory of the spring, how sweet!

The newborn life, how glad!

What joy the happy earth to greet

In spring's bright raiment clad!

Divine Renewer, Thee we bless

For Thy great love and power,

And greet Thee for Thy loveliness

Expressed in leaf and flower.

O may we be, by Thy great power,

Renewed these spring-tide days;

And so reflect Thee in each hour

That all shall give Thee praise.

Still let new life and strength up-spring,

Still let new joy be given;

And grant the glad new song to ring

Through-out the earth and heaven.

Amen.

Everyday Implications Of The Golden Rule

"Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you:
do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets."
(Matthew 7:12)

Child With A Dove

 Some small boys went into my neighbor's yard this spring and with
sling-shots killed the wild birds that were nesting there. Only the other day
I read in my daily paper of several murders committed by a nineteen year old boy.

At once there was formed a connection in my mind between the two crimes,
for both were crimes of the same kind, though perhaps in differing degree-
the breaking of laws and the taking of life cruelly.

For the cruel child to become a hard-hearted boy and then a brutal man
is only stepping along the road on which he has started. A child allowed to
disobey without punishment is not likely to have much respect for the law
as he grows older.  Not that every child who kills birds becomes a murderer
nor that everyone who is not taught to obey goes to prison.

The Bible says, if we "train up a child in the way he should go: and when
he is old, he will not depart from it." The opposite is also true, and if a child
is started in the way he should not go, he will go at least some way along that
road as he grows older. It will always be more difficult for him to travel
the right way even though he finds it.

The first laws with which children come in contact are the commands 
of their parents.  Few fathers and mothers are wise in giving these, for
we are all so busy and thoughtless.  But I am sure we will all agree that
these laws of ours should be as wise and as few as possible, and once
given, children should be made to obey or be shown that to disobey
brings punishment.  Thus they will learn the lesson every good citizen
and every good man and woman learns sooner or later-
that breaking a law brings suffering.

If we break a law of nature, we are punished physically; when we
disobey God's law we suffer spiritually, mentally, and usually in our
bodies also.  Man's laws, founded on the Ten Commandments, are
really mankind's poor attempt at interpreting the laws of God, and
for disobeying them there is a penalty.

The commands we give our children should be our translation of
these laws of God and man, founded on justice, and the law of love,
which is the Golden Rule. And these things enter into small deeds.

Even insisted that children pick up and put away their playthings
is teaching them order; the law of the universe and helpfulness,
 the expression of love. The responsibility for starting children
in the right way is the parents'-it cannot be delegated to the schools
or the state, for the little feet start on life's journey from the home.
