“[I] exhort my fellow-citizens of all faiths and creeds to assemble… in their several places of worship and there, as well as in their homes, to pray Almighty God that He may forgive our sins and shortcomings as a people and purify our hearts to see and love the truth, to accept and defend all things that are just and right, and to purpose only those righteous acts and judgments which are in conformity with His will.“
– President Woodrow Wilson, May 11, 1918
