WHAT INSPIRED THE MOUNTAIN MEN?

George Washington:

Whereas it is the duty of all nations to acknowledge the providence of almighty God, to obey His will, to be grateful for His benefits, and humbly to implore His protection and favor.

Abraham Lincoln:

"Intelligence, Patriotism, Christianity, and a firm reliance on Him who has never yet forsaken this favored land are still competent to adjust in the best way all our present difficulty. …As was said three thousand years ago, so still it must be said, "the judgments of the lord are true and righteous altogether."

Thomas Jefferson:

"God who gave us life gave us liberty. Can the liberties of a nation be secure when we have removed a conviction that these liberties are the gift of God? Indeed I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just, that His justice cannot sleep forever."

Teddy Roosevelt:

There are those who believe that a new modernity demands a new morality. What they fail to consider is the harsh reality that there is no such thing as a new morality. All else is immorality. There is only true Christian ethics over against which stands the whole of paganism. If we are to fulfill our great destiny as a people, then we must return to the old morality, the sole morality.

Jesus said:

"For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life." We are a group of faculty united by their common experience that Jesus Christ provides intellectually and spiritually satisfying answers to life's most important questions. We are available to students, faculty, and staff who might like to discuss such questions with us. Any faculty member interested in joining FACULTY FRIENDS should contact Murphy Smith 5-3108, Steve Crouse 5-3997, or Lee Lowery 5-4395.
