Samuel Jackson Randall (October 10, 1828-April 13, 1890) was a U.S. Representative, who served twice as the Speaker of the House. He stated in the Washington Papers:
<Gentlemen, Christianity is true. The man who doubts it discredits his own intelligence. I have examined this matter for myself.
I know that God has given me influence among my fellow men, and as I have a prospect of recovery I want henceforth to use the influence of my example on the side of Christianity.> 1828SR001
