On this day...

in Christian History:


December 30, 1823: Charles G. Finney, the most effective evangelist America had ever seen, is licensed to preach.

December 30, 1852: Future U.S. President Rutherford B. Hayes marries "Lemonade "Lucy," so called because, as first lady, she forbade alcohol in the Executive Mansion. The Hayeses were both devout Methodists who began each day with prayer and organized Sunday evening worship services at the White House.
