"I have seen the eternal, infinite, omniscient, omnipotent God pass close by, and I knelt prostrate in adoration."
- Carl Linnaeus
Isaiah 37:15-16 (NLT) And Hezekiah prayed this prayer before the LORD : “O LORD of Heaven’s Armies, God of Israel, you are enthroned between the mighty cherubim! You alone are God of all the kingdoms of the earth. You alone created the heavens and the earth.
SPECIAL NOTE...Linneus, Maine (my hometown): Linneus was incorporated in 1836. It was originally granted by Massachusetts to endow a professorship of botany; and was therefore named for the most renowned of botanists (Carl Linnaeus) The first settler was Daniel Neal, who removed hither from New Brunswick in 1826. In the following year it was surveyed into lots. Colonel Moses Burleigh, who settled here in 1830, was a captain in the militia of Maine in the war with Great Britain in 1812. He was stationed at Belfast with his campany when the British ascended the Penobscot to capture the United States cervette “Adams,” then undergoing repairs at Hampden. He represented his district in the Massachusetts Legislature several years, and, after the separation of Maine, was for several years in its legislature.
