(January 31, 1830–January 27, 1893), was the Secretary of State under Presidents James Garfield and Benjamin Harrison; a U.S. Representative, 1862–75; the Speaker of the House, 1869–75; and elected a U.S. Senator in 1876. James Gillespie Blaine was the Republican Presidential candidate in 1884, and would have been the President instead of Grover Cleveland if he would have received just 1000 more votes in the State of New York. In Columbus and Columbia, a Pictorial History of the Man and the Nation, the Hon. James G. Blaine wrote:
No proverb ever supplanted the patience of Job or the wisdom of Solomon. … Moses has never been surpassed in statesmanship.
A scientific theology is pointing out the footprints of the Creator to common sense. The brotherhood of man, the Fatherhood of God, is becoming the corner-stone of religion, as revealed in Christ, and as clearly traced in human history.2657
