This is a timely utterance and we
hope that its influence will be far
reaching. We have upon several oc-
casions Of late tried to impress upon
our readers the solemn fact that it is
the duty Of man to be n good citizen,
and that no man discharges his full
duty unless nc conscientiously dis
charges the duties Of citizenship There
arc TOO many men who are disposed

and contribute towards the support of
the church and it's institutions, they
give to charitable objects and they
pay their taxes, but they refuse to take
part in the affairs of State. They re-
fuse to go to political meetings. they
refuse to aid in bringing out the best
men to fill the offices of Government,
and sometimes they fail even to go to
the polls and vote. We say that such
men, however good they may be in
other respects. are not good citizens.
But what is more to the point, the nh
tional convention Of a great church
tells them so, and tells them that it
is q part of mans religious duty TO
do his part toward securing good and
honest and efficient government. This
is not dragging politics into religion:
it is a call to church members to carry
their religion into politics.
