A revival of religion presupposes a declension.

No government is lawful or innocent that does not recognize the moral law as the only universal law, and God as the Supreme Lawgiver and Judge, to whom nations in their national capacity, as well as individuals, are amenable.

If the presence of God is in the church, the church will draw the world in. If the presence of God is not in the church, the world will draw the church out.

The obligation of human beings to support and obey human governments, while they legislate upon the principles of the moral law, is an unalterable as the moral law itself.
