Faith in Jesus

"I ... am endeavoring ... to attend to my own duty only as a Christian. ... let us take care that our Christianity, though put to the test ... be not shaken, and that our love for things really good wax not cold." - United States Founding Father, Signer of the Constitution, William Samuel Johnson, "Life and Times of William Samuel Johnson", Edwards Beardsley (Boston: Houghton, Mifflin and Company, 1886), p. 184

Public Schools

"You this day, gentlemen, ... have ... received a public education, the purpose whereof hath been to qualify you the better to serve your Creator and your country. ... Your first great duties, you are sensible, are those you owe to Heaven, to your Creator and Redeemer. Let these ever present to your minds and exemplified in your lives and conduct. Imprint deep upon your minds the principles of piety towards God and a reverence and fear of His holy name. The fear of God is the beginning of wisdom. ... Remember, too, that you are the redeemed of the Lord, that you are bought with a price, even the inestimable price of the precious blood of the Son of God. ... Love, fear, and serve Him as your Creator, Redeemer, and Sanctifier. Acquaint yourselves with Him in His Word and holy ordinances. Make Him your friend and protector and your felicity is secured both here and hereafter." - United States Founding Father, Signer of the Constitution, William Samuel Johnson, "Life and Times of William Samuel Johnson", Edwards Beardsley (Boston: Houghton, Mifflin and Company, 1886), pp. 141-142
