This is Benjamin Franklins' 1774, Delaget speech briefly before the ratifying of the constitution of the United States of America into law.  It is repeated in its entirty, as he offers suggestions about Divine Providence, and how elected delegates and representatives may approach Public Prayer in Governace.  The praise:  "and if a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without his notice, is it probable that an empire can  rise without his aid?," was reversed by mistake in its meaning by my own misquote but the rest of the speech was repeated accurately.  Thanks goes out to Micheal Chadwick for sponsoring the Utah Theam Park addressing Democracy:  Liberty Park, and for documenting instances of unexplainable miracles in American prehistory and beyond the Civil War.  This was recited on Presidents day in, for February 2011.
