Duty of Citizens to the State on Independence Eve
Rev George W Townsend preached on rendering to Caesar the things that are Caesar's and citizens' duties to the state. Civil government is divine, requiring honor obedience to laws and support including taxes and testimony against violations. Citizens should vote for wise wholesome legislation, expose lawbreakers, and maintain loyalty to the state while respecting civil authorities.
