"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."

John 3:16

In God we trust

 (1866-73)

The Act of March 3, 1865 (another of those wartime omnibus bills) not only authorized another issue of compound interest notes and fixed the weight and terms of issue of nickel 3-cent coins, but also mandated that henceforth all silver and gold coins of suitable size would bear the motto, In God We Trust. Almost everyone has heard the story of how Rev. M.R. Watkinson of Ridleyville, Pennsylvania wrote to the Treasury Secretary Salmon P. Chase, Nov. 13, 1861, proposing an addition of a religious motto to our coinage; his historic letter was for many years on display at the Chase Manhattan Bank Money Museum. This was while the Bank was still at the Rockefeller Center in New York City. Watkinson’s action led directly to Chase’s choice of wording In God We Trust, rather than its various proposed alternatives: God and Our Country, God Is Our Shield, God Our Trust. Chase was doubtless influenced by the wording of his Alma Mater, Brown University, of Providence, Rhode Island, which was In Deo Speramus, "In God We Hope". This in turn derived from the motto of Colonial Rhode Island.
 
1939 Motto:

"THINK BEFORE YOU TALK, SPEAK OF THE GOODNESS AND PRAY AGAINST EVIL".

 Apostle Daddy John
 
In-the-last-days Moses: the man to which God revealed the Doctrine of Salvation resigned the affairs of his life in order to preach the Gospel. He received the message which we preach today through an Angel’s revelations.
  

He was a native of Portage, Wisconsin.
He died February 23, 1953.
