The Christian's Principal And Motive in Voting - 1855

Embed
85

Our government is not,—it is true,— a Christian government, because Christ's kingdom is not of this world,—but it is a government created by Christian men,—framed in accordance with Christian principles,—founded upon and presupposing Christian institutions as existing in the land—and looking to the influence and power of Christian principles for its growth, stability and permanency. Our government never would have been conceived—devised—determined — instituted — and triumphantly established but for Christianity, and it cannot outlast the subversion or practical neglect of Christianity and its institutions a single day. The wisdom to devise good laws, the allegiance that will support, uphold and obey them—and the power necessary to administer and enforce them—can only flow from that religion which founds government upon the ordinance of God and demands obedience on the ground of conscientious obligation.
The exercise of your prerogative, therefore, in voting at elections is an important duty.
