Voting, A Solemn Trust
Let each citizen remember at the moment he is offering his vote that he is not making a present or a compliment to please an individual — or at least that he ought not to do; but that he is executing one of the most solemn trusts in human society for which he is accountable to God and his country.
Christians Must Do Their Duty to Their Country as a Part of Their Duty to God
The church must take right ground in regards to politics . . . The time has come for Christians to vote for honest men, and take consistent ground in politics or the Lord will curse them. . . . Politics are a part of a religion in such a country as this, and Christians must do their duty to their country as a part of their duty to God. . . . God will bless or curse this nation according to the course Christians take in politics.
