and as citizens of theRepublic on whose preservation the future ofhumanity so largely depends.We exhort you,as of onemind and heart,to ponder well the significance of recentevents so that each of you,as circumstance requires,mayrightly fulfil his share of our common obligation.\"(1919.)  \n“ATTAACHMENT to the civil institutions under whichyw.1e hne alunve marLedyour conduct·andifweyou live has always marked your conduct;and it weaddress you on this subject,it is not from any apprehensionthat you are likely to vary from the course which you havehitherto pursued.After the example of the apostle,StPatul,we cannot,however,deem it altogether unnecessaryto exhort you ever to discharge your civil duties from thehigher motives which religion suggests.Obey the publicauthorities,not only for wrath but also for conscience sake.Show your attachment to the institutions of our belovedcountry by prompt compliance with all their requirementsand by the cautious jealousy with which you guard againstthe least deviation from the rules which they prescribe forthe maintenance of public order and private rights Thuswill you refute the idle babbling of foolish men and willbest approve yourselves worthy of the privileges whichyou enjoy,and overcome,by the sure test ofpractical patriot-ism,all the prejudices which a misapprehension of yourprinciples but too often produces.\"(1852.)  \n3  \n\"DESTINED as we are by our Maker to live togetherin social intercourse and mutual cooperation for thefulfilment of our duties,the proper development of ourfaculties and the adequate satisfaction of our wants,ourassociation can be orderly and prosperous only when thewills of the many are directed by that moral power whichwe call authority.This is the unifying and coordinatingprinciple of the social structure.It has its origin in Godalone.In whom it shall be vested and by whom exercisedis determined in various ways,sometimes by the outcomeof circumstances and providential events,sometimes by theexpress will of the people.But the right which it possessesto legislate,to execute and administer is derived from GodHimself.\"(1919.)  \n\"OUR country had its
