1866<\/b> Noah\u2019s Day To A Pastor<\/b><\/p>\n
Pastor Earl Cannon of Chicago\u2019s Vernon Baptist Church expected 15,000 to march in his nondenominational \u201chappy day\u201d parade in honor of God, but he and 214 policemen assigned to the activity were the only ones who showed up, making him feel \u201clike Noah.\u201d<\/p>\n

1867<\/b> Legend Of Origin Of Praise<\/b><\/p>\n
There is an old Jewish legend which says that, after God had created the world, He called the angels to Him and asked them what they thought of it; and one of them said, \u201cOne thing is lacking: the sound of praise to the Creator.\u201d So God created music, and it was heard in the whisper of the wind, and in the song of the birds; and to man also was given the gift of song. And all down the ages this gift of song has indeed proved a blessing to multitudes of souls. <\/p>\n

1868<\/b> Civil War\u2019s End<\/b><\/p>\n
At the end of the Civil War, when the news of Appomattox came, the secretary of war, Edwin M. Stanton, caused to be displayed from the dome of the Capitol a transparency on which were inscribed these words from Psalm 118: \u201cThis is the Lord\u2019s doing: it is marvelous in our eyes\u201d (v. 23). <\/p>\n
1869<\/b> Columbus\u2019 Conviction<\/b><\/p>\n
When on October 12, 1492, Christopher Columbus took possession of one of the Bahama Islands, he believed he was fulfilling prophecy. It is not perhaps widely known that the \u201cadmiral of the oceans\u201d discovered America believing he was under the illumination of the Holy Spirit, not the light of the stars. In 1502 he wrote to King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella: \u201cIn the carrying out of this enterprise of the Indies, neither reason nor mathematics nor maps were any use to me: fully accomplished were the words of Isaiah\u201d (referring to the gathering of the remnant of Israel in the last days). <\/p>\n

1870<\/b> Don\u2019t Thank Me<\/b><\/p>\n
In a concert in Chicago, Harry Lauder, Scottish singer and songwriter, sang to an overflowing audience. At the conclusion, the audience stood en masse, and applauded uproariously. After the applause subsided, the audience said in unison, \u201cThank you! Thank you! Thank you!\u201d<\/p>\n
Showing splendid humility, Lauder replied, \u201cDon\u2019t thank me! Thank the good God who put the songs in my heart!\u201d<\/p>\n
1871<\/b> Haydn\u2019s Response To Acclaim<\/b><\/p>\n
In 1808, just a year before the death of Franz Joseph Haydn, a grand performance of his outstanding oratorio The Creation<\/i> took place in Vienna. The composer himself was there for the occasion. Old and feeble, he was brought into the great hall in a wheelchair. His presence caused an electrifiying enthusiasm in the audience. As the orchestra and chorus burst forth with full power into the passage, \u201cAnd there was light,\u201d a crescendo of applause broke out. <\/p>\n
Moved by this response, the elderly musician struggled to his feet. Summoning all his strength, he raised his trembling arms upward, crying, \u201cNo, No! Not from me, but from thence\u2014from Heaven above comes all!\u201d Although he fell back exhausted in his chair and had to be carried from the hall, the old master had made his point in a dramatic and unforgettable manner. <\/p>\n

1872<\/b> Hallelujah Chorus\u2019 Custom<\/b><\/p>\n
On March 23, 1743, when \u201cThe Messiah\u201d was first performed in London, the king was present in the great audience. It is reported that all were so deeply moved by the \u201cHallelujah Chorus\u201d that with the impressive words, \u201cFor the Lord God omnipotent reigneth,\u201d the whole audience, including the king sprang to its feet, and remained standing through the entire chorus. From that time to this it has always been the custom to stand during the chorus whenever it is performed. With spontaneous joy the soul stands to salute Him who \u201ccometh in the name of the Lord.\u201d He is \u201cKing of kings, and Lord of lords\u201d and to Him we pledge allegiance. <\/p>\n

1873<\/b> Faraday\u2019s Adoration<\/b><\/p>\n
Michael Faraday, who died in 1867, was one of the most brilliant scientists of modern times. He was a pioneer in electrical discoveries. <\/p>\n
Faraday received practically no education, but in the bookbindery where he found work, he also found a few volumes of science. He read and studied these, and then embarked on the experiments that were to become his religious convictions, so that we are not surprised at these words he uttered with his dying breath:<\/p>\n
\u201cI bow before Him who is the Lord of all.\u201d<\/p>\n

1874<\/b> New Voices At Madison Square Garden<\/b><\/p>\n
Gil Dodds is the minister\u2019s boy who came out of Nebraska to step off the fastest mile ever run on an indoor track. Time 4.10.6. At the end of a race the crowd wondered when he picked up a microphone to acknowledge their applause and said: \u201cI thank the Lord for guiding me through the race, and seeing fit to let me win. I thank Him always for His guiding presence.\u201d The rafters of Madison Square Garden must have trembled; these were new words there. \u201cI don\u2019t win those races. God wins them. You see, God has given me all I have. I have one great lack. I didn\u2019t have the one thing the coaches say a long-distance runner simply must have. I couldn\u2019t sprint at the end of the mile. But God took care of that. In place of the sprint he gave me stamina.\u201d And that is correct. Dodds sprints the whole distance. He sets a killing pace all the way. <\/p>\n

1875<\/b> \u201cWhat Hath God Wrought!\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n
In conversation with Professor S. F. B. Morse, the inventor of the telegraph, the Rev. George W. Hervey asked this question:<\/p>\n
\u201cProfessor Morse, when you were making your experiments yonder in your room in the university, did you ever come to a stand, not knowing what to do next?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cOh, yes, more than once.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd at such times what did you do next?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI may answer you in confidence, sir,\u201d said the professor, \u201cbut it is a matter of which the public knows nothing. I prayed for more light.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd the light generally came?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, and may I tell you that when flattering honors come to me from America and Europe on account of the invention which bears my name, I never felt I deserved them. I had made a valuable application of electricity, not because I was superior to other men, but solely because God, who meant it for mankind, must reveal it to someone, and was pleased to reveal it to me.\u201d<\/p>\n
In view of these facts, it is not surprising that the inventor\u2019s first message was, \u201cWhat hath God wrought!\u201d<\/p>\n
