The Duty Of The Citizen In These Times A Sermon Etc PDF Download

Excerpt from The Duty of the Citizen in These Times: A Sermon Preached in the Church of the Holy Innocents, Albany, Sunday Morning, April 21, 1861 The form of the government under which the Christian citizen lives, does not affect the great principle laid down in the Word of God, nor the duty which that word enjoins. It is the same in a monarchy and in a republic. Wherever there is the rule of Law, the Ruler may be called by what ever title men choose the modes in which govern ment may be administered may vary widely; but the relations of the people, as subjects or citizens, are essentially unaffected, and the duties which they owe to the Ordinance of Government are those which are thus described; and the Christian citizen is required by the authority of religion to discharge those duties in the spirit of loyalty, as reverencing Him in whose august name the sword is borne.
