 American Minute with Bill Federer

 March 27

 President John Adams' son, John Quincy Adams, was U.S. Minister to
 Russia.

 In September 1811, John Quincy Adams wrote from St. Petersburg to his
 son, Charles:

 "My dear Son...You mentioned that you read to your aunt a chapter in
 the Bible...every evening. This information gave me real pleasure..."


 John Quincy Adams continued:

 "So great is my veneration for the Bible, and so strong my belief,
 that when duly read and meditated on, it is of all books in the
 world, that which contributes most to make men good, wise, and
 happy-that the earlier my children begin to read it...the more lively
 and confident will be my hopes that they will prove useful citizens of
 their country."

 This correspondence was published after his death as Letters of John
 Quincy Adams to his son, on the Bible and its Teachings.

 President John Quincy Adams' grandson was Henry Adams, an American
 historian.

 From his unique perspective of being related to some of America's
 founders, Henry Adams, who died MARCH 27, 1918, wrote in his 9-volume
 work, History of the United States:

 "The Pilgrims of Plymouth, the Puritans of Boston, the Quakers of
 Pennsylvania, all avowed a moral purpose, and began by making
 institutions that consciously reflected a moral idea."
