best definition of good citizenship is that
given by President Lincoln from the Gettys-

people and by the people. The Christian
citizen is Il citizen Of a higher kingdom. He
has as his constitution the B bic and the

requires higher degree Of courage than to
confront Il king. He must be one to follow
his cons tenre-an enlightened conscience.
