government so constituted ami administered is to resist God and in- cur His wrath This is the Christian ihu teaching of the and accepted by tho greatest statesmen and teachers of political science in ancient and modern times The other theory was first claimed by the celebrated English accepted by j del school of and taught in j the It claims that government is a mere man social deriving all authority from the consent of tho governed and having no higher than the will of the ple constitutionally that the is iho mero servant of towering above State laws and constitutions and acts of It is

the 1 false light hung out at onr No one who knows our and secret of onr can 1 doubt that the mightiest force in our and that which has conduced to our is our Take that and you leave Hamlet out of the pluy Let us a change of thc Constitution in this is that as it is a standing insult offered by the nation to its author of its existence and prosperity We have virtually said in that instrument which is the est expression of the nation's lips are our own is Lord over Why has not God smitten us as He did infidel France There is but one reason the insult was not understood nor intended by the nation The at- tention of the nation has never until recently been called to the and even yet many Christian men will hardly consent to such an tion But now the question is forced to an and we must setlle can no longer occupy an altitude of neutrality or inaction Like Pontius Pilate we have a person on our hands and like him we may shall I do with Jesus who is called Christ We must either crucify or crown and like the Jewish nation onr decision will seal our future destiny Either like them we will reject him and or becoming a kingdom of our Lord and his we shall nil the earth and endure forever During our recent struggle to save the nation's life from the assault of a terrible the Senate of the United States requested President Lincoln to call the nation to humiliation nnd that for Christ's sake would save the prayer was and and tho nation and ever since we have had our yearly thanksgiving at the call of the dent to render thanks to God for the mercies of the year Is this Shall we aak

government of the United States is interdicted by the Constitution from interfering with re- What claim have we on Christ to save or bless un- less we recognize His over Protection and allegiance are and we cannot claim tho one unless we render the other On the other subjects refusing expose themselves to thc wrath of their Soverign And now the infidel junto have claimed their determination that all these national acts of religion shall and they make their demand on constitutional grounds Their tion is and we are left the alternative either to conform our Con- to our practice or lapse into atheism The issue is fairly joined the lines are clearly and respective parties are ranging selves under their respective banners The demands of liberalism all laws looking to the enforcement of Christian morality shall be and every vestige of ty swept out of the present one side of the question Our amendment is the other When this contest is there will be no er room for the plea of ignorance or Good Government The secret of good government is found in the close attention paid by the people to its interests The best system ever devised by human dom is but little better than the worst if it fails to meet the cordial support of the governed To elect good men to office is one of the first conditions of good to strengthen them in their and age them in their endeavors to mote the public welfare by active operation on the part of the people is less essential and Wise men may be elected to but they are powerless if the people refuse that ready support and ful which are the ive characteristics of a strong ment In a republic like our where the people are the recognized and tho highest ruler is but the temporary servant of the ular there can be no excuse for bad government If it exists in any locality the cause is to be found in the people themselves They gate the control of their franchise to a few who make politics a who buy and sell without reference to who care for a party only so far as it yields them a fair return in dollars and cents Where such a practice bad government is sure lo be found Our large cities are marked illustrations of this fatal tendency on the part of the ble portion of the to leave the entire manipulation and ment of in the hands of a few trained politicians There must be a radical reform in this direction or the evil will become a source of positive weakness to our form of Government To bring about a requires exercise on the part of the citizen of more not at the but also at the primary meeting The primary or town meeting is the fountain head of good or bad government If it ex- presses the sentiments of all thc ple in a certain good ment is likely to but if it speaks the voice of what might be justly culled tho demoralized element of government is the quence The first step forward to the purification of politics must be taken by the people themselves Thc morality and patriotism of the nation must be largely represented in the conventions that delegate power to a few men This will give us a better class of of- and make good government possible even in onr gest cities The tho the must be used as levers to overthrow the which now exists among the more intelligent of onr people against participation in political fairs Every should be pressed with the necessity of taking an active part in the political affairs of
