Few people know that engraved on the metal cap to the monument, towering 555 feet above the ground are the words, "Laus Deo" or "Praise be to God," a fitting tribute for this renowned Christian's life!
In addition, several tribute blocks line the staircase, and they are inscribed with Bible verses: "Suffer the little children to come unto me and forbid them not; for such is the Kingdom of God (Luke 18:16)," "Search the Scriptures (John 5:39; Acts 17:11)," and "Holiness unto the Lord (Exodus 28:36); 39:30; Zechariah 14:20)."
There is a memorial stone in the wall at the 140-foot level with the following blessing, an offering from the City of Baltimore: May heaven to this union continue its beneficence. May brotherly affection with union be perpetual. May the free Constitution which is the work of our ancestors be sacredly maintained and its administration be stamped with wisdom and virtue.
