JUNE 23-24
ROGER WILLIAMS AND THE FOUNDING OF PROVIDENCE
He has been rightly called “The First American,” because he was the first to actualize in a commonwealth, the distinctively American principle of Freedom for mind and body and soul.
Arthur B. Strickland
GOD MAKES A PATH
God makes a path, provides a guide,
And feeds in Wilderness;
His glorious Name, while breath remains,
Oh, that I may confess!
Lost many a time, I have had no guide,
No house, but hollow tree!
In stormy winter night, no fire,
No food, no company:
In Him, I found a house, a bed,
A table, company:
No cup so bitter, but ’s made sweet,
When God shall sweet’ning be.
Roger Williams
