Woodrow Wilson - US President 1913-1921
Presidential
campaign speech in 1911:
"America
was born a Christian nation. America was born to exemplify that devotion to the
elements of righteousness which are derived from the revelations of Holy Scriptures.
Ladies and gentlemen, I have a very simple thing to ask of you. I ask of every
man and woman in this audience that from this night on they will realize that
part of the destiny of America lies in their daily perusal of this great book
of revelations. That if they would see America free and pure they will make their
own spirits free and pure by this baptism of the Holy Scripture."[7]
