When he was confirmed in 1906 into the membership of Saint John's Church of Lincoln, Illinois, Reinhold Niebuhr, in the custom of the Evangelical Synod, recited a memory verse assigned him by his pastor: "I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore I have continued my faithfulness to you" (Jeremiah 31:3). No doubt this verse, especially selected for the young Niebuhr, also expressed a father's love and faithfulness, since it was given to Reinhold by Pastor Gustav Niebuhr
