Book Description

Excerpt from Uncle Sam's Bible: Or Bible Teachings About Politics "Uncle Sam" needs a Bible. May this book persuade him to look for one. For there is a Bible especially designed and written for him. Blessed will he be if he will take it from the pulpit cushion or the parlor table and carry it into his senate chambers, his executive mansions and his court-rooms, and study and obey it. This book looks at political questions from the standpoint of righteousness or conformity to God's will. It has few predecessors; may it have many successors! Its publishers hope "that it will arouse more interest and exert greater influence than any book ever did, excepting the Bible." The realization of their hope will be the greatest blessing to our posterity to the latest generation. For the scripturalness of its twenty-eight principles will be seriously questioned only by those who, like the Rev. Luther Calvin Wesley, D.D., prefer their earthly comforts to God's word. The danger is that these truths will be overlooked in the future as they have been in the past. We therefore ask for the prayers and co-operation of the pious reader that the benevolent and patriotic wishes of the publishers may be accomplished. To condense into one volume the discussion of so many reforms commanded by God required brevity. Perhaps this has led sometimes to obscurity.
