Read Harry Truman’s quotation after he heard he had become president. Boys, if you ever pray, pray for me now. I don't know if you fellows ever had a load of hay fall on you, but when they told me yesterday what had happened, I felt like the moon, the stars, and all the planets had fallen on me. Truman’s words most likely suggest that he was pleased to become president. had no firm religious beliefs. felt the burden of heavy responsibilities. would soon resign from office.
