Horace Mann wrote in his Twelfth Annual Report, 1848: "That our public schools are not theological seminaries, is admitted ... But our system earnestly inculcates all Christian morals; it founds its morals on the basis of religion; it welcomes the religion of the Bible ..."
“The torment was over. Even that day the healing would begin. The survivors of the people scattered ... like sheep without a shepherd ... would begin to return ... The hand of the destroyer was stayed ... At the thought I extended my hands towards the sky and began thanking God.”
President Andrew Jackson, July 10, 1832, stated in his Bank Renewal Bill Veto: "It is easy to conceive that great evils to our country and its institutions might flow from such a CONCENTRATION OF POWER in the hands of a few men irresponsible to the people.
President Warren G. Harding stated: "... Never in the history of the world has there been a finer example of civilization following Christianity. The missionaries led under the banner of the cross, and the settlers moved close behind under the star-spangled symbol of the nation."
A legend is that in 1646, Richard Bourne came upon a few hundred natives dancing and offering sacrifices, one of which was human. Bourne lifted his arms and raised his voice, declaring “if you do not stop your horrible work I will call upon my God to visit his wrath upon you!” Suddenly, a flash of lightning split the rock into pieces. Immediately following this, hundreds of Indians converted. The rock, located near Bournedale, Massachusetts, is referred to as Sacrifice Rock or Chamber Rock
