Billy Graham's Statement on Terrorist Attacks Against the United States

    MINNEAPOLIS, Sept. 11 /PRNewswire/ -- The following is Billy Graham's
 Statement on Terrorist Attacks Against the United States:
 
     "Within the last few hours the United States has suffered the most
 terrible and devastating terrorist attack in its history.  Although we do not
 yet know the full story, these unspeakable acts of brutality strike at the
 very heart of our free society.
     "Our heartfelt prayers and sympathy go out to all who have been directly
 touched by this tragedy, and their families.  I call upon all Americans to
 pray especially for our President and for all who advise him, that they may
 have divine wisdom as they respond to this insane and horrific act.
     "In times like this we realize how weak and inadequate we are, and our
 greatest need is to turn in repentance and faith to the God of all mercy and
 the Father of all comfort.  If ever there was a time for us to turn to God and
 to pray as a nation, it is now, that this evil will spread no further.  It is
 also a time for us to remember the words of the Psalmist:  'God is our refuge
 and strength, a very present help in trouble.  Therefore we will not fear
 though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the
 midst of the sea ...  He maketh wars to cease unto the end of the earth; he
 breaketh the bow and cutteth the spear in sunder; he burneth the chariot in
 the fire.  Be still and know that I am God ... The Lord of hosts is with us.'"
 (Psalm 46: 1-2, 9-11)
