“I thank the gentleman from Texas for sharing his heart with us tonight. Throughout American history, many of our great leaders have turned to the Bible for guidance, faith, and hope. President Abraham Lincoln once said of the Bible: ``I have but to say, it is the best gift God has given to man. All the good the Savior gave to the world was communicated through this book. But for it we could not know right from wrong. All things most desirable for man's welfare, here and hereafter, are to be found portrayed in it.'' Mr. Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. Thompson), as we go across the country and hear from folks all over this great country of ours.”
