Twentieth-Century Fox made a motion picture in 1955 titled A Man Called Peter, about the life of U.S. Senate Chaplain Peter Marshall, born MAY 27, 1902.
Peter Marshall emigrated from Scotland, was ordained a Presbyterian minister, and became a U.S. citizen in 1938.
A novel titled Christy, written by his wife, Catherine, was made into a CBS television series.
His son, Peter Marshall, Jr., is the renowned author of such best-selling books as: The Light and the Glory, From Sea to Shining Sea and Sounding Forth The Trumpet, which chronicle the Providential expansion of liberty throughout American history.
On January 13, 1947, U.S. Senate Chaplain Peter Marshall stated:
"The choice before us is plain: Christ or chaos, conviction or compromise, discipline or disintegration. I am rather tired of hearing about our rights...The time is come...to hear about responsibilities...
America's future depends upon her accepting and demonstrating God's government."
Opening a session of the 80th Congress, July 3, 1947, Peter Marshall prayed:
"God of our Fathers...may it be ever understood that our Liberty is under God and...to the extent that America honors Thee, wilt Thou bless America."

One of Peter Marshall's sermons was entitled Mr. Jones, meet the Master. It is worth reading as it illustrates the real reason we're placed on this earth.
Thanks for the post about Rev. Marshall. He truly was a great man who died young.
