Harrison, a Presbyterian, was a committed Christian. He served as
a church elder and Sunday School teacher. His relationship with God
gave him a great sense of duty which greatly influenced his
political activities.
Quotations:
"I hope you will renew your Christian faith and duties. It is a
great comfort to trust God -- even if His providence is unfavorable.
Prayer steadies one when he is walking in slippery places -- even if
things asked for are not given." -- letter to Russell Harrison, 8
August 1887
President Benjamin Harrison
