Proposed Acknowledgment of God in Constitution

Senator Richardson, of Delaware, last Thursday offered by request a resolution in the United States Senate proposing to change the preamble of the Constitution, which begins, “We, the people of the United States,” etc., to read, “In the name of God, we the people of the United States,” etc. The resolution recites that whereas an acknowledgment of the Deity was desired by the people of the United States, therefore in the interests of vital truth, morality, and fitness, the Constitution should be amended as described. It is in behalf of this acknowledgment of God in the Constitution that the National Reform Association has been working for so many years.
