Abandon the worries… and Abide in the Word.
Abandon the fears… and Abide in the Father.
Abandon the hurts… and Abide in His heart.
Abandon the cares… because Christ will never abandon you.

Gutenberg in America
In 1926 a Dr. Vollbehr came to the U.S. with a large set of 15th century books. While in Washington, D.C. he offered to sell his entire collection to the Library of Congress for only half its value. These books included one of the three complete vellum copies of Gutenberg's 1455 Bible known to exist.
A Mississippi congressman heard of the offer and made a stirring speech before the U.S. Congress proposing that $1.5 million in public funds be used to acquire these rare books. In 1930 U.S. President Hoover signed a law approving the funds needed to buy Vollbehr's collection.
