By:J.T. Headley

 

Reprinted July 2008 by Larry Harrison; 8 1/2 X 11 in.; "The ministers of the Gospel 200 years ago prepared the colonies for the struggle for independence. It was their vigorous preaching and active participation in the war itself that gave the religious sanction and inspiration for the Bill of Rights and the Constitution. This history, written by Mr. Headley in 1864 before the Centennial, should provide to the churches of the country on this 200th anniversary a blessed resurgence of Christian doctrine and faith. What our people believed and did 200 years ago they did because God is the Author of liberty..." Unknown, Pastor of Bible Presbyterian Church - January 16, 1976
