Excerpt from A Sermon on the Divine Origin of Civil Government, and the Sinfulness of Rebellion: Delivered in the Ebenezer Methodist Episcopal Church, Sabbath, June 30, 1861 Romans, xiii. 1-4. Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. Whoso ever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God, and they that resist, shall receive to themselves damnation. For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then be afraid of the power? Do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same - For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain for he is the minister of God, a revenger, to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil. Among the many evidences of the inspiration of the Bible, there is no one more significant than the fact, that considered as a code of law it is of universal application. While all systems of human jurisprudence apply only to certain localities, the Bible system is adapted alike to every clime and nation. The laws of men define the duties of certain classes of citizens, but the Divine law details the obligations belonging to every relation in life. The parent and child - the husband and wife - the buyer and seller the ruler and the subject, all have their duties defined and their obligations set forth. As a minister is the teacher of the people, on all matters of religious duty, his position requires that he should explain and enforce the duties which God has imposed upon men. This is especially the case, when peculiar circumstances direct public at tention with more than ordinary interest to any particular depart ment of religious obligation.
