God Give Us Men!

I found this wonderful poem by Josiah Gilbert Holland about who we should elect as our president. It gave me pause for thought and I hope it does the same for you. I felt prompted to design this up nicely and pass this on.  I also found a very well written quote that is a fabulous follow-up to this quote:
"Author and publisher, J. G. Holland, composed this sonnet well over a century ago.  His cry that God would intervene and provide our nation with committed public servants is as timely today as when he first wrote these lines.  It is still our privilege as free citizens to vote for a candidate of our choice.  It is also our duty, since people are up for election or reelection periodically, to petition God, that he will grant the placement of men or women into office who will prove themselves worthy of the position.  And let us remember they are accountable to God, not merely us, for their conduct".    Clyde Brogan
