American Minute with Bill Federer
September 21
On SEPTEMBER 21, 1924, America's 30th President, Calvin Coolidge,
addressed the Holy Name Society in Washington, D.C., saying:
"The worst evil that could be inflicted upon the youth of the land
would be to leave them without restraint and completely at the mercy
of their own uncontrolled inclinations.
Under such conditions education would be impossible, and all orderly
development intellectually or morally would be hopeless."
Calvin Coolidge continued:
"The Declaration of Independence...claims...the ultimate source of
authority by stating...they were... 'appealing to the Supreme Judge
of the World for the rectitude of' their 'intentions.'...
The foundations of our independence and our Government rests upon
basic religious convictions.
Back of the authority of our laws is the authority of the Supreme
Judge of the World, to whom we still appeal."
President Calvin Coolidge concluded:
"It seems to me perfectly plain that the authority of law, the right
to equality, liberty and property, under American institutions, have
for their foundation reverence for God.
If we could imagine that to be swept away, these institutions of our
American government could not long survive."

Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father, who is in heaven will enter. Many will say to Me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?' And then I will declare to them, 'I never know you: depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness.'
Matthew 7:21-23
