In the beginning of the contest with Britain, when we were sensible of danger, we had daily prayers in this room for Divine Protection. Our prayers, Sir, were heard-and they were graciously answered. All of us who were engaged in the struggle must have observed frequent instances of a superintending Providence in our favor…And have we now forgotten that powerful Friend?

And if a sparrow can not fall to the ground without his notice, is it probable that an empire can rise without his aid? We have also been assured, Sir, in the sacred writings, that ‘except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it.” (Psalm 127:1) I firmly believe this, and I also believe that, without his concurring aid, we shall succeed in this political building no better than the builders of Babel…” Benjamin Franklin’s appeal to President George Washington for a National day of Prayer

William Lyon Phelps, former Professor of English Literature at Yale University
