1.-The citizen who feels that the state
should echo God, who feels that all it's du-
ties and relations are of divine origin and
have in them divine meanings. that citi-
zen will seek the highest welfare of his
commonwealth as he seeks the welfare of
any other department of society" was the
theme chosen by the Rev. William c. Tay-
Tor, of the College-avenue Baptist Church,
for his sermon yesterday morning The
keynote of the address was reverence for
the law and the seeming tendency of the
present age in disregarding not only the
letter but the spirit of the law.
1T is the duty of the state TO echo God, >
he said IAN echo is not Invisible. 1t has
no power or character of it's own. 1t speaks
a perfect repetition Of the voice which gave
it utterapce. Civil government in its ideal
form is a repetition among men of the
divine order of the universe. The redeemed
world will be a world where all the rela-
tonS between men and all the dispositions
of the individual will be harmoniZed and
regulated by law.
I'm order that our fallen race may at
tain to such possibilities we are furnished
with three institutions which by all right
minded people will be accepted as so many
means of grace for the final glorif1cation
of human society. They are: The home,
family life; the church, religious worship;
the state. civil government. These are OF
God They first found expression in Eden.
All other institutions are of human origin.
They are unnecessary. BY so much they
exist among us they proclaim that our
homes, our churches and civil rela-
tons are not what they ought to be. That
we have other social relations than the
family, that we have other Institutions for
proclaiming the doctrine of the church.
that we have men bound together by vows,
cOmpactS and parties is but a testimony to
our human inefficiency as faithful servants
of God in the great domain of human So
ciety as He has given it to us
In the mind of the average man the in
terests of civil government do not as rule
occupy very high place. Many of his
duties appear to be far more important
than his citizenship. His first considera-
ton is usually for himself. His second
consideration is usually regarding his fam
lily. After that he thinks of his church
Lastly as man he gives some thought
TO his duties as citizen. This is wrong
These considerations are not graduated:
they go together; they are corelative. You
cannot neglect one without being neglectful
of the others. The citizen that believes the
state should echo God, who feels that his
citizenship occupies a higher plane than
that usually given it by man comes nearer
