The front cover depicts Virginia pastor John Peter Muhlenberg in January
of 1776 at the start of the American Revolution. After preaching a
sermon to his congregation from Ecclesiastes 3, he declared:
"There is a time to fight, and that time has now come!" He
removed his clerical robes to reveal the uniform of a military
officer and led 300 men from his church to defend their liberties.
They became the 8th Virginia Brigade, and Rev. Muhlenberg went on
to become a Major General under George Washington. He was later
elected to the first federal Congress where he helped frame the
Bill of Rights. |

"the propitious [favorable] smiles of heaven can never be expected
on a nation which disregards the eternal rules of order and right
which heaven itself has ordained." |
