The inscription "In God we trust," is stamped upon the coin of our country, and it was of no small moment, that we—as a nation—should send forth a medium of commercial exchange bearing this declaration to all people, "In God we trust." It is absolute. It admits of no relative position. It rings with immortality.
It is interesting to note that the first recorded teaching that we have of the omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent God is from Abraham.
The Jews are the only example of a nation, whose integrity has been preserved on the basis of faith in our God. During their history, empires have risen and fallen, whole nations have been swept from the face of the earth, but they adhered to their faith and lived on. Many times they have been mesmerized by idolatry, both from within and from without; but there has always been a righteous remnant which has kept alive trust in the one true God. There has been a prophet to remonstrate when they went astray and to point the way, with: "Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord."
