This Saturday will mark the 148th anniversary of President Lincoln’s delivery of the Gettysburg Address.

After Lincoln’s assassination, a book was compiled containing many of his writings and letters. In the collection is the following paragraph from Lincoln:

“When I left Springfield I asked the people to pray for me. I was not a Christian. When I buried my son, the severest trial of my life, I was not a Christian. But when I went to Gettysburg and saw the graves of thousands of our soldiers, I then and there consecrated myself to Christ. Yes, I do love Jesus.”
